touchy subject im sure... but i always tip something... even if it did take 45 minutes to get the food. it may have been someone else fault (not the servers) and even if not, the server still took the time to bring the food to you, and knowing how hard it can be to make ends meet on $3-something an hour, or worse yet, for tips only, i still almost always leave something, even if its a dollar. its true some servers get paid full wages.
as far as the delivery charge on orders from pizza places and the like, i have worked in a pizza place before and although i wasnt a driver, i know the drivers did not get any $ from the delivery charge. they got incentives (maybe a free oil change after a year of service or something else totally not worth the mileage and wear on the car in my opinion). and, in my experience, a late delivery was rarely if ever the drivers fault.. it was usually either the retaurants busy, the cooks messed up or mixed up an order, or the weather. i worked as a waitress on several occasions and put up with a lot of rowdy customers, bad tippers, rude people etc. its a lot of work to run back and forth to one table for jelly, ketchup, refills, etc especially when your feet are tired. i have received my tip in a handful of pennies thrown in the drink glass from drunk customers before. i also once worked as hotel maid for tips only... that didnt last long as i worked nearly a week without pay. its surprising how many ppl dont tip!!

if and when the world ends it will be because we didnt take care of it and kill off life. even then, the world will surely continue, most likely going in a cycle as most things in nature do.
