- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

on the one hand, tipping is toxic and enables exploitation
on the other hand, i respect the grind and understand life is hard out there for people just trying to get by
I'll usually tip 20% for delivery drivers because going literal MILES to bring me my food is objectively more daunting than crossing a room.
I always tip my pizza delivery driver, but he's also the owner of the business and the guy making the pizza, and the pizza is fucking awesome.
local pizza joints are a t r e a s u r e .
My favorite place, i love their pasta dishes even more than their pies. THEY get the big tips!
I miss mine, they closed down about 4mo after I quit because I couldn't pay my bills anymore, because during covid people had stopped tipping as much, and the people that were tipping more to make up for the other's slack just couldn't tip enough to make it work because they have bills too of course. Now we have some local chain type things but it's not the same quality and instead of $8/hr+tip they pay $5.25/hr+tip out of the store and $7.25 in store, so it sucks for drivers too.
What does he do when multiple people order for delivery at once?
Make as many as'll fit in the oven and then deliver those. He only delivers locally and it usually takes 60 to 90 minutes to arrive, so it's better to pre-order.
Badass, sounds like it's worth the wait
Exactly, if appropriate I would tip someone even if they’re adequately paid by their employer. Though I think it would make more sense if the minimum wage is raised instead. I also get why some cultures dislike tipping, so I just treat it on a case by case basis
