Pizza delivery boy gets $10 tip for $1,500 order

[Evil Eye]

The enormous order was unsurprisingly pre-authorised, with the payment dealt with in advance over the phone.



But that doesn't mean you can't also tip the delivery boy on arrival.



In the US, where tipping is more of an obligation than a nicety, five-10 per cent of the order total is usually given to delivery boys, with 15-20 per cent expected for complicated orders, according to CNN Money.



The delivery boy had wisely decided to stay anonymous but his friend, known as jfastman, posted a photo of the receipt on social network site Reddit.



The largest delivery bags in the US generally carry a maximum of a dozen pizzas, meaning that this trip would have required seven of those bags, plus a single for the extra pizza.



The 85 pizza pies each weighed more than a kilo, meaning each of the seven bags he carried would have weighed at least 12 kilos.



Jfastman confirmed that his friend also had to make two trips to deliver all the pizzas in his saloon car.

I wouldn't want to spend any more money after buying $1500 worth of pizza either

do you know what this just stinks of....



the pizza order was clearly placed by some company who paid in advance and therefore would also be expensing the pizzas, but when the delivery happens it comes out of the pocket of the guy who meets the delivery guy.. and of course he isn't going to pay out it his pocket...



the error here, was the pizza company should have included the tip into the cost of the pizzas so it would have been part of the bill.
