I'm going to get shot, aren't I?
If you work in Philly ... yes. Theres been a rash of Pizza guys getting robbed at gunpoint, murdered, or beaten.
Just protect yo ass.
shot, no. robbed at gunpoint, yes.
I hope none of your clients pull you into their house and rape you.
Do you work for big sausage pizza?
LOL!Quote:

Get ready to destroy your car.
I wonder if your car smells like pizza forever after you deliver for awhile. Even when I pick up Papa John's and drive 30 minutes my car smells of pie for a week.
I hope you said your last goodbyes to your car.
Yeah dude. I destroyed two cars delivering food.
Its just not worth it. Get out as soon as you can.
I drive a fairly reliable albeit aged Honda, so I think it should be okay. I'm only doing it until I find better work, but if that falls through (which it probably will) it will only be until school starts back in August.
Again, I just hope I don't get robbed/shot.
GIMMIE YOUR FUCKING MONEY, MOTHERFUCKER! NOW! GIVE IT UP!Quote:

There's a reason delivery jobs are always available. The previous person always either dies or quits because they were going to die.
Your life, your transportation, your safety, and your sanity are not worth whatever bitch change you're going to be making. Get out now.
Especially you, though. Aren't you that guy that looks like he's 12? You're easy money.
I bet he gets buttraped at the first projects he delivers to. Any takers?
Better off being a waiter. Better yet: bartender.
I don't know about looking 12, but I used to deliver Chinese food when I was in high school and was never robbed, raped or killed.Quote:

TNL says don't work retail or delivery. Most people in the highschool-college age bracket only really have that...
That's because retail is like the army - it's for people who can't do anything else.Quote:

Retail ain't so bad.
I agree, and that's what I've been looking for for the past two weeks but nothing has come up. So I figure I can do this delivery gig until a better job turns up (It claims to pay $8 to $15 an hour plus tip, but I haven't seen anything officially saying that). I just don't have the restaurant experience to get hired at a not shitty restaurant.Quote:

Everyone is right about the car being destroyed, but you have to factor in your own gas as well. Just take a counter job someplace else, you don't need to be doing this horse-shit at all.
you kidding? i see the chinese buffets packed with darkys all the time.Quote:

You die from second-hand smoke quicker then people die from first hand but if you don't do it your whole life you should be fine.
Seriously, Chinese restaurants and buffets are a haven of poor negros.
That's less of an issue now with many states giving smoking in bars and shit the boot.Quote:

I did it for about 9 months until I got robbed. I was actually robbed in a ridiculousy rich area, delivering to a mansion. But they followed me from the store. Really safety depends on the area. I delivered in scum fuck Baltimore, which I don't recommend to anyone. If you're in a suburban area I wouldn't worry about it.
You will wreck your car though. If your car is nice at all I recommend you buy a beater for as cheap as possible to use while delivering.
Depends where you work. Most of the big chains cover your gas. I got .50 cents per delivery for gas (so if I left the store with three deliveries I got $1.50), which actually was way more than I used.Quote:

protip:
when held up in a robbery attempt, give the black person the money and run like hell.
Once you give him the money, he's going to attempt to kill you.
you are better off trying to run away than to just stand there and let him have a clear shot at your dome with his pistol.
Yo, yo dawg, get me some of dem egg rolls.Quote:

I delivered for a few years because it was just fun. Montgomery, AL, the shit side of town, i did get robbed, but it was once in the three years i worked at the restaurant, and i delivered to some scary shit-holes. Other people weren't so lucky. One kid told me, "i wouldn't be out here unless i had a gun". Nice, since he was eight. He was black, so he was okay. The bosses loved me and gave me a raise whenever i came back, gave me good runs, gave me the day shifts, told me didn't have to deliver to the holes, etc.
Clinton, TN was sloooooow work, and there were several weeks where i ran open to close because i was the only driver that didn't quit. That was easy, but the tips really sucked. I barely put any milage on my car, and my checks were good so it didn't matter too much. The best runs were the ones a few miles in the middle of nowhere. I was never afraid of being robbed there.
Savannah, GA, same as Montgomery, except whenever it rained i had to drive through frickin' rivers to get to houses. Some guys got robbed, one guy on a run i almost took before i decided i wanted to get off the road. Another guy had a gun shoved in his mouth, but even he didn't quit. Besides the scary neighborhoods, it was nice, since some of the places were way out in the woods. That was another one where they gave me the day shifts after i worked for a few months. The boss was the biggest asshole ever, but somehow he was alright with me. The school runs on every Friday involved taking something like 60 pizzas to a school about 12 miles outside of our delivery area, plus an extra ten bucks for taking a big run, and some of the big runs (not many) would tip nice.
On those three, i had to have my brakes replaced every 6 months or so. Besides that, the driving wasn't too hard. Like i said, it was kind of fun. No one bothered you on the road, so as long as i wasn't taking forever, i could go wherever i wanted, stop for a soda, get food, whatever.
If you can, take the day shift. You won't make as much in tips, but you won't get robbed and the work's less crazy than the nights.
"Nigga get

Lemme tell you
how we fend to get paid

PROTIP: Make sure you contact your insurance company and inform them that youre going to be a delivery driver. AND MAKE SURE YOUR EMPLOYER IS NOT A STUPID ASIAN AND HAS THE CORRECT INSURANCE FOR YOU.
Live and learn, I guess.
