    Quick etiquitte question...

    We ordered a bunch of pizzas for lunch, and they arrived on time but they got the order wrong. So they are sending out the correct order now; do we tip the driver a second time? (They screwed up but it's not the driver's fault)

    I would throw a couple bucks at him the 2nd time, maybe not the normal 15% but enough to say thanks.

      Tip the driver. I would make a fuss and get a nice discount on your pizzas for the hassle they caused.
      What's to explain? It's a bunch of people, most of whom you've never met, who are just as likely to be homicidal maniacs as they are to be normal everyday people, with whom you share the minutiae of your everyday life. It's totally normal, and everyone would understand.

        I always err on the side of being nice and generous with service people. The pizza drivers at the place I regularly use are the same as they were six or eight months ago, and they will remember. I think Soup is right - yell at management and get a discount, then apply the discount towards the second tip. Zero sum game for you, driver is happy, and the people who screwed up pay for it all.

          I'm just afraid of the spit and boogers that will come in the replacement order. I think I'll pick up a taco on the way home.

            I delivered pizza for six years. I would tip the guy because it's not his fault; I would call the restaurant and ask for some consideration on your next order. It's real gas and real time that the driver is putting into bringing the pizza.

            With 11 years of fast food experience under my belt (perhaps still literally), if I had ever seen someone adulterating someone's food, I would've called the police before I told the manager.

              My friends in high school worked at Arbys. They admitted to spitting on the grill (not sure how many times). Also, they took some trays, put them under their car tires, and then burned out, causing the trays to go flying.

              I once worked at a bakery in HS and I sliced open an unbaked baguette, hid a small pickle inside, then closed it up and baked it. We sold it that way. Someone went home, opened their baguette, and there was a pickle inside. I was 14 at the time and was angry that I was illegally being made to operate baking ovens.

                When I worked at Taco Bell throughout high school, we used to put the trays under the back tires of my buddy's car. It was front wheel drive, so the trays wouldn't fly out. Instead we would take turns driving around the parking lot, with the e-brake applied, and drift his Honda Civic like we were in Drift Kings.

                It was bad ass.

                  Mormon Red Death and I had a friend in high school who managed the Pizza Hut on 21st South and about 1200 East in Sugarhouse (Salt Lake). After our friend caught an employee doing something [too obscene to write. yeah, it's that bad] to the food one night, I vowed that I will never eat at Pizza Hut again.

                    I was out of college, married, and had a job when a friend came in town for a trade show. He stayed with us and my wife was working the evening shift, so we decided to order out pizza. I went to the store to get some drinks and he agreed to pay the pizza guy. I came back and he's talking about how put-out and rude the pizza guy had been. I asked what happened and he said he was 40 cents short on the cost of the pizza and "you would think the guy wouldn't get so bent out of shape over 40 cents."

                    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                        My first job out of high school was at the Convergys on 109th south and 4th west, and after a year my cubicle was next to management's admin assistants. Every Tuesday they had a catered lunch meeting, and afterwards would let me and a few others know if there was anything left.

                        One Tuesday during their meeting, a friend from another department came over and quietly advised me not to take any leftovers. Lunch was Dominos, and as it turned out, a disgruntled former Convergys employee ended up working at that very location that received their lunch order, and came up with a proxy way for management to [obscene] his [body part].

                          When I bagged groceries at Safeway, I would crack an egg of a jerk of a customer or squish their bread....I didn't get caught because I was the fastest bagger they had.
