Now I'm sure of it.<br /><br />The problem I had was that the manager would clock out everyone before the pizzas were even out of the oven, in order to make his times look better. Its incredibly unfair to do this to the drivers.<br /><br />The amount you get paid when on a delivery is $3 under minimum wage and that's legal because during that time you're considered an employee that works for tips. The managment explained that with this new change they found that the drivers came out slightly ahead. <br /><br />I never found this to be true, probably because of the manager screwing us like that for his own gain. Its also incredibly more difficult to calculate your effective hourly rate since it is going up and down all the time.<br /><br />The other thing is that the customers aren't informed of this. They're still on the assumption that you get paid minimum wage and you get to keep 100% of the delivery fee so why would they tip you on top of that? Its not like your job is dangerous or anything...Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10444966278784471238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522734587386947749.post-66110490417717076832009-12-28T09:29:59.783-06:002009-12-28T09:29:59.783-06:00Gypsy: Thanks, I fully intend to apply for jobs cl...Gypsy: Thanks, I fully intend to apply for jobs closer to my appartment, I've just been lazy thus far about getting it done. I really want to keep working in pizza because I enjoy blogging. It wouldn't quite have the same ring if I was raging against a bookstore (I couldn't rage at bookstores anyway, they keep me happy with that intoxicating smell).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10861097614588953834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3522734587386947749.post-33330695515616707202009-12-24T11:41:56.790-06:002009-12-24T11:41:56.790-06:00I just broke two teeth when my jaw hit the floor. ...I just broke two teeth when my jaw hit the floor. I am completely horrified about the change to your pay. Horrified at the pay structure, mortified at your boss's reaction to your concerns, flabbergasted that runs are clocked to you and you wind up paying for what you shouldn't... Oh. My. God. If any of that happened to me on my job, I would not only quit on the spot, I'd clean some clocks on my way out the door. Perhaps you should find a different pizza chain, my dear. Everything in your last post is simply unacceptable. You deserve better than that!Gypsynoreply@blogger.com
