Typical delivery order will add a 15% tip on top of a $3-5 delivery fee, so a chunk of change for a big order and a 50% markup on a small one. Plus most big discounts are pickup only.

My wife: "But, but, this one pizza place we never ever eat at whose prices are higher and quality is lower has no delivery fee!!"

Yup. Paying that much for something I could do myself and getting the food 30 minutes ~ 1 hour earlier outweighs the convenience of delivery for me. I don't get it.

Yeah, if you're drunk, delivery is a very pragmatic choice.

Also if you're just lazy. Depending on location and traffic, getting pizza can be a 40 minute round trip.

At least as a former waiter, I feel an absolute need to tip for delivery, regardless of 'fee'.

Never seen a place charge delivery here unless you are getting something really cheap.

Am glad I don't need tip either really, as they get paid a wage and don't use their own car.

Yeah, I suppose maybe its kind of regional and maybe in a big city it would be a pain to have to drive around in heavy traffic to get your food, but here most of the regular places I order from are less than 10 minutes away. Once in a blue moon I will get food delivered from a restaurant farther away that is in a heavier traffic area if I'm really not feeling like venturing out, but that's probably like two or three times a year.

i've handled it ok

the people most directly impacted by my drinking have been very forgiving and most others were surprised by the decision, in part because they were usually blacked out themselves when i got too drunk

The wealthy get their status often by being thrifty.

I too always just go pick it up myself. Why waste money on fucking delivery??

I've always considered it a waste of money. Any place that will deliver to you is reasonably close enough to drive yourself in less time than it would take for a delivery person to get to you.

You don't have a Dominos by you? I think their delivery fee is something like $3 now, not including tip.

protip: buy yourself a hot/cold bag large enough to fit the pizza inside of and you'll get your pizza cheaper, faster AND just as hot. win/win/win

my biggest gripe with getting carryout was that it would cool off on my drive home. but i have since solved that problem with the wonders of modern technology.

i hate getting delivery, only on the fact that the delivery fee doesn't go to the driver (or even at least 1$ of it anyway).

plus it's only a 10 minute walk to the pizza hut if i even on the rare chance even buy one.

Depends on the pizza joint. If there's a waiter, you're gonna have to tip as much if not more than a delivery guy.

Yep. You can also check to make sure they didn't screw your order up. My last two experiences ordering from dominos:

1. The guy brings one pizza instead of two
2. The same guy forgot a drink and thing of sauce

I've got so many free apology desserts that I don't even know what to do with them (they make sure to give you a dessert instead of a pizza, because this way I may be tempted to actually order another one with my free dessert)

i didnt want to make a big deal of it anywhere

i am still brewing, just not for me anymore

so i am not gonna make anymore 100% smoked malt rauchbiers or other 'darkman only' kind of beers

my next 2 on tap are a dry cider and an amber ale with no additives

i am prob gonna do a vanilla porter this winter and a dubbel as well, but i'm keeping the beers simple and impossible to screw up since there's nobody left to drink my shit batches

i keg and we have ~1 party with 30-40 guests/month so it's a good way to provide a ton of booze on the cheap
