They all know me, and when I was a driver I knew the addresses that popped up that were good tips. Today, I'm that guy, and they tell me so.

Re: Free papa johns pizza?
If you wanna go that far, I've been tipped:
Weed by my manager when I delivered pizza to his supplier and picked up his bag. We smoked in the walk in freezer when I got back.
Strip club passes.
I think my largest tip in 1998 or around then was $30 to a company lunch party. One driver delivered $15 worth of pizza and the lady gave him $100 and said keep it. He was so shocked he almost refused. That same driver was once tipped with a vespa motorcycle. lol. The guy didn't have the key, but he gave it to him.
And my only memories (after the walk in) of people who tipped nothing, had their gates left open, hoses left on, dogs let out on purpose, or a combination of all three.

Re: Free papa johns pizza?
I've worked as a server, busser, cook, and dish washer. I know the pains of killing yourself to please and being slapped in the teeth with a cash payment to the cent.
I've also had tips in excess of a $100.00 before so I know the importance of doing a good job no matter who the customer is or how much I think they are going to tip.
With lessons learned, my policy is to drop 20% every time no matter the service. If the service is mediocre, I say they still earned it. I'm not the only customer they had to deal with and a large portion of those people are ********. If the service is shitty, I just don't return. If the service is great then I get recognized and treated well next time I come back.

Re: Free papa johns pizza?
Because when go eat to a expensive place, you tip in consequence it's part of the expense of going to the restaurant
you eat for 100$ but drink a bottle of wine of 150$
well in the end you tip at least 37.5$
if you can't afford to pay tip, don't go to the restaurant or pay for something less expensive
