I don't think there was any correlation around here. Rich people were just as likely to tip you a nickel as to tip $20. I had people in trailers tip a solid $5, or I've had people in trailers literally try to tip me with a beer. I Can't pay the bills with a 50 cent can of Pabst Blue Ribbon, but thank you very much for the thought.

One that stands out is Marinas. People getting a pie delivered to their boat were usually generous. I couldn't tell you why. Maybe their boat put them in a good mood.


My wife delivered pizza when she was 16. Said the people in the nice subdivisions on the golf courses were way more stingy than the people in trailer parks.

I hated pizza delivery. I made $2.30 - $3.00 / hr. after fuel. I tried that for probably 6 months but people around here tip one dollar if you are lucky. Ever since that job I make sure to tip the pizza dude $3.00 or 20%, whatever is greater. They pay them waitress wage here (like $2.15/hr.) and make them use their own vehicle.

    No. I dont condone selling drugs. I would go to prison or be
    killed if I were a cop. I 'd shoot dealers .  I was just stating
    an observation.  We are from a town next to Juarez and folks
    assume we are all hooked up in drugs
      They see my long hair and think I partake of drugs
    But I was amazed they asked for boner pills more than other
    stuff. These were oil worker's at hotel.

        Are you saying Steve should sell drugs to help pay the
        mortgage? If so, he should do pizza delivery at the same
time....then he has a way to explain all the cash income. I'm sorry to report that some of my colleagues in the pizza
        business were doing that.  On the other hand there were
        people who had seasonal work, and used pizza delivery to fill
        their off season. So in the winter I worked with roofers,
        landscapers, and drug dealers.  In the summer I worked with
        students, substitute teachers, and drug dealers.

        I was in Midland all of last week and when guys found out I
        was from El Paso they asked if I could hook them up with
        Viagra or Cialsis.   Guess they think we just drive to
        Juarez and buy them cheap.  15 to 30 a pill
        Maybe something new going out at the drill sites
        I know drug abuse is high up there...too much quick money.

            You might consider pizza delivery. You can definitely do
            that part time, and the pizza place will be very excited
            to get an application from someone who can spell their
            own name and address correctly.

            I did it for awhile and the whole job is like taking a
            break from real life.  Drive the car, listen to the
            radio, deliver the goods, smile, get a tip, drive more,
            fold boxes and sweep the floor while you wait for the
            next delivery.  Oh yeah, they also think you're  a hero
            at the pizza shop if you stay busy without being ordered
            to.  If they think you're a hero they'll give you
            whatever shift you want.  You want Friday and Saturday
            night.

            Unlike tech support....or anything else I ever did, the
            customer is always happy to see you and the interaction
            with them is always positive.  It was maybe one time in
            three hundred that anybody gave the pizza guy any attitude.

            On the less rosy side, you do have to pay attention to
            your vehicle maintenance and fuel costs and make sure
            you're actually making money. You might gross $15/hour,
            and if you can do a lot of the basic car stuff on your
            own, you'll only put 20-30% back into the car.  Too many
            people went in and back out of that job because they
            weren't paying attention to what they were doing to
            their car.

The other thing that ruined people was tickets. Speeding, red lights, failure to yield....one ticket and
            you just paid out a couple of days worth of income to
            the court. Parking is not an issue though....nobody ever
            gave me trouble for parking anywhere as long as I had
            the pizza sign on the car.

            My banker has been being a dick about that whole paying
            him back on the house thing lately, every month making
            me pay, its like come on man, i took the money, isnt
            that enough?

            Ive been applying for remote support and helpdesk type
            stuff that is remote office.. but everything Ive
            interviewed for ends up being full time only. And none
            of them offer upward mobility given the nature of the work.

            any of you folks know of any of these call centers that
            hire part time remote workers? I dont care about being
            overqualified or the pay being crap, just looking for
            some supplemental dough.

            One thing amazes me is how many of these outfits use
            skype for communications, I dont know if theyre
            ultimately routing customer calls through skype or
            what, but thats the requirement they have. It used to
            be required you had a pots line
