So you don't consider a driver doing nothing except moving the food you requested from point A to point B for 5-15 minutes equal to a waiter/waitress checking in on your party once every 10 minutes for an hour? I'd be inclined to agree if said waiter/waitress was like a manservant that didn't attend to anybody else for the entire time but they're usually handling other peoples requests as well. A driver will get stacked with two orders maximum, three if they're in incredibly close proximity to each other.

So you're saying that due to efficiencies inherent to the job the delivery driver should be rewarded equally, because he's getting less done at once? That's retarded. You've just explained that a driver is getting two tips every 10 to 30 minutes. Now explain how that is more or less than a waitress' tips-per-hour.

Waitstaff talk to you about the menu, take your order, relay your order to the kitchen, handling the billing, and also fetch everything else you need all night and are the front lines for all complaints and abuse.

If you're unlucky enough to work delivery in a bad district, you might wind up seeing a tip less than 50% of the time.

All of the non-Shacktown readers here won't have a delivery man who also works in a "bad district".


Right: Like the crews who painted "nose art" on military aircraft during World War II, the Cold War's missileers often decorated the blast doors of underground LCCs.
