In line at a Subway about five people deep and the guy in front of me orders four sandwiches. He is unsure about what to order, could not decipher what was written down on his wrinkled up 8.5 x 11 piece of paper. I say the max sandwich order per person in line should be no more than two..... Very frustrating.
 
Meh, you want to talk about bad etiquette, try delivering a god damn pizza in the dark to a house that has no lights on outside, on a street that hides the house numbers all over the damn place and has them written very small, or to a family that has hung a freaking wreath over their address. At the very least, turn on your freaking outside lights when getting a pizza delivered and don't try and pretend like you don't know what to write where it says "tip : ______" and "total : _______". I know you aren't that freaking stupid, just that freaking cheap.


Thank God saturday is my last day, grad school with a TA position and I can avoid the real world for 2 more years.
 
The classic look past someone to quickly pat them on the back and avoid the ole handshake, I have that down pat.

Stat I don't urinate on my hands but some people do and then grad the bathroom door handle.

Be very afraid of the Dooky Bandits!!!!
 
now wait a minute, I never wash my hands in public bathrooms (I also rarely if ever go #2 in public bathrooms). I am a bit of a germ freak in that I avoid other peoples germs at all costs but am completely indifferent to my own so when I go to a public bathroom I dont touch anything with my hands other than my zipper and boxers. Washing my hands in that situation is completely uncalled for imo because i would have to touch a faucet handle and PT dispenser which would probably introduce more foreign germs to my hands than not washing them. am i in the wrong here?
 
I am pretty particular about public restrooms and my routine there. I will do my business (never #2 if I can possibly avoid it all costs) and then get the towels ready before I wash. I will wash with soap and dry my hands with the towels already ready. Then I turn off the water if the faucet does not turn off automatically. (I don't use a fast stream to try to limit how much water I use)

Then I use the towel I dried my hands with to open the door to get out. I toss the towel into the trash on the way out or in a trash can outside if that is not feasible. That handle is filthy since most men don't wash their hands so there is no way I will touch it on the way out.
 
Even if you just pee, the least you could do is run your hands under the faucet for a few seconds. There could have been splash back from the urinal you weren't aware of.
 
Understand that I'm a girl and have little idea about how these things function, but 630, don't you have to hold on to ... um ... well ... yourself when you go to the bathroom? And doesn't that merit a handwash??
 
penis size and stream pressure are two very different unrelated things. I do not suffer from weak stream, but like I said, it ain't a jet stream coming out of there. i do not need to hold on to it to control it, merely placing it in the gaps in my boxers and zippers is usually sufficient to keep it in place while it does its thing, if i need to reaim i can just adjust the hips (it's all in the hips, it's all in the hips).

and yah, my ding a ling is as clean if not cleaner than my hands before i go to the bathroom. my hands are out in the world touching things, shaking other peoples hands, covering my mouth, while lil' longhorny is safely tucked away in a impenetrable defense of cloth and denim. i should be cleaning my hands before i go to the bathroom to keep whatever weird bacteria on my hands from spreading down south.


as for the tip question, for about 5 weeks i actually kept very detailed information regarding my pizza deliveries (basically as a way to keep up my excel skills while waiting for grad school). heres what i got

In 28 days of work (totaling 151 hours), I took 216 deliveries for a total of 1107 miles (56 hours) of driving. I averaged $3.84 per delivery, 5.13 miles per delivery, and made a total of just under 2 grand. My biggest tip (Which wasn't in this data as it occurred after) was $53 from a high school band that had $120 in pizza and gave my about $180 in cash. Smallest tip was obviously $0. As for what you should tip, $3 - $4 is decent, but, really what you tip shouldn't solely depend on a percentage of your order. Distance from the store is a big factor. Nothing pisses off a driver more than having to deliver to the farthest possible place within store coverage and getting a dollar or two, or even sometimes nothing. Drivers live off tips and gas is expensive, so if you live far away, take that into consideration. Second is weather conditions. In Texas it doesn't really matter much, but I live outside Chicago and when it snows, delivering is a very slow and risky business, especially in a rear wheel drive jeep. I definitely noticed an increase in average tip (I quit keeping the data though so I can't give numbers) once it got cold and esp when snow was falling. If you wouldn't want to go out driving in that ****, please remember the driver doesn't want to go out driving in that **** either, especially for some ******* who orders breadsticks and doesn't even get a damn pizza and who lives way the hell away from the store at 11:15pm on a Saturday while snow is falling and they haven't gotten around to plowing the roads yet. One thing to remember is that drivers don't just drive, they also make and cut your pizzas and the place where I work (omitting the name) has electronic records of every order and we always remember the ******** and we def dont give our best efforts in your pizza prep and are stingy as hell when it comes to toppings and other things. Also, the delivery fee doesn't always go to the driver, depends on the store. My place keeps the delivery fee for themselves but tries to inform the customers of that so they tip more.

but yah, i quit delivering pizzas for life on Saturday night but i kept the receipt thing of my last delivery. im going to pin it to my desk where i will study for grad school so whenever i dont feel like studying, ill remember what happens when you get a 2.8 gpa in a ****** economy. i also peeled off the duct tape that i had over my longhorn emblem and texas exes bumper sticker that i put on when i first started delivering to keep the shame solely on me and not Texas.
 
i don't know... in a dirty public restroom that gets A LOT of use, i sometimes think the process in which to wash one's hands exposes one to more germs.

Say at DKR or the airport, any place where the restrooms have no doors, if i am only touching myself (he he) and have the ability to touch nothing else, ie, door handles, sink handles, paper towel dispensers, i will forgo the washing of the hands.

In and out, self contained. In fact, restrooms without doors, but with a switched back entry is definitely a plus for infection control.
 
Yah, Rex, I have a degree in engineering and I wanted to be a deliveryman. That was my last ******* option and one I never saw coming. The drivers don't make the decisions on who gets delivered to and who doesn't, the owner does. The owner sees no difference if a driver has to drive 20 miles or if a driver has to walk across the street, he gets the same amount either way so it's in his best interest to deliver anywhere. A tip is a reward for good service and really only reflects on you the tipper. If you want to be a Mr. Pink and refuse to recognize the amount of gas that a driver has to go through to deliver, that's fine, that's your decision. You can believe in karma or not, but either way, I wouldn't be washing my hands before I make your pizza the next time I deliver (which would be never since I quit).
 
I thought the automatic tip was supposed to go to a general fund to reimburse the drivers; so some owners pocket the "delivery" fee and make the drivers cover all of their own gas costs?

I wouldn't wash my hands coming out of the bathroom when making the owner a pizza. I'm sure many people stiff or reduce their tip because they assume the pizza delivery guy receives the automatic tip (hello Roy Williams).
 
So ya'll don't wash your hands because the faucet has germs from people that have used the bathroom? Little bit selfish no? Going through your day giving everyone dick hand shakes..
