Since you're parsing it out, keep in mind that a Pizza Hut delivery driver in Missouri makes $16.64/hr while one in Los Angeles makes $18.64/hr. But I live in West Los Angeles and tip about 18% because it's a bitch to get through traffic to my street, especially at dinnertime, and there's no parking. I tip the same percent for weekly groceries from Yummy.com even though the total is much higher so the tip is about $50 because they're picking out the items, bagging, driving several miles and lugging several bags to my door. If I had to do it all myself I'd damn well tip myself that much!
I find it hard to believe they make that much. We pay our driver's $6/hour. We wouldn't be able to get drivers if everyone else was paying almost 3X as much.

There is a link to pizza delivery showing a minimum pay of $12
You guys are all just taking advantage of people then
Wtf are you talking about? We have a profit margin of about 2%. It's not like we have unlimited money to throw around. It's sad how little people actually know about running a business, but act like they have all the answers.
We paid our guys non tip wages and got along fine.
If you can't be in business without taking advantage of people then you don't deserve to be in business.
