I guess I'm not suprised but god damn if shit isn't getting out of hand. I didn't even bother to ask how much but apparently you have to specify ahead of time when you order and they charge you for each pack and send it with the driver. Nickel and Diming up the ass. I wonder if they charge me some kind of surcharge for the box next time.

Not that I care but I can't imagine how their marketing department could actually sit down and come to the conclusion that this was going to go over ok. They should have just raised the delivery charge or something and dumb America would have never known the difference.

When you go in for the buffet they're probably watching you to see how many times you use the parmesan/pepper shakers to add to your bill.

It's just like when the airlines started charging for snack packs and meals, even though the price of the ticket didn't go down. Now they charge fueldsurcharge, takeoff/landing fee, etc. Just like the pizza places charge you a delivery and/or fuel subcharge.
I haven't ordered from pizza hut in ages but they seem to pile the parmesan and red pepper packets into my pizza box whether I asked or not. I guess I should expect a change next time.

Speaking of....I usually order Domino's and they charge a "delivery fee". I always thought that was probably to cover the box and occasional napkin, but someone told me if there is a delivery fee it is the driver's tip. I don't believe that so I tip anyway, but does anyone know what that fee is for?
Lame, condiments should be free, burger joints don't charge for ketchup...

True, but i've noticed that alot of burger joints (especially Wendy's) won't give you ketchup unless you specifically ask for it. A few years ago they'd give you a year's supply of ketchup with every order, but the last few times I'll get home and say "what the fuck?" cuz there's zero ketchup packets. I bet that faggot Dave Thomas still makes the same amount of money even after the ketchup cutbacks. Oh wait, he's dead. owned.

I think Dane Cook was onto something when he mentioned using ketchup packets as currency. I am going to start stockpiling.

I think Papa John's does too now.
There's a new pizza joint in town. I think it's called Papa Murphey's (?)... there's one by HEB at 1604/Culebra. Has anyone tried it yet?

Most places charge for 'extra' condiments now. You get 1 sauce pack for your order of chicken nuggets, but they'll charge you for each extra one you ask for.
Personally, I don't agree with charging for a minimum amount of condiments, but do think that if you want 30 pepper packets, then yeah, pay extra. You might also notice at some fast food joints there is no longer a "condiment bar" whre you can get salt, pepper, sugar etc. because so many people would grab handfuls and take it with them. I know I'm guilty of grabbing extra salt and pepper packs to leave in the car.

I am a P/T driver for them, no we don't, at least not at the store I work at.

Papa Murphy's is pretty good, it surprised me when I first went in there because they just make the pizza up for you, then you take it home and bake it yourself. I like having my pizza hot & fresh, so it works well for me.

That's pretty cool! I'll have to try it.

They have a couple over here and their chicken garlic is pretty good. The nice thing about is, they make it right infront of you ala Subway and give it to you so you can bake it at your home FRESH!!!. :lol

You "pay" for the condiments everywhere, it's just that Pizza Hut is stupid enough to separate it on the bill for you. Those costs are usually just worked into the price of the menu item and you're none the wiser.
Pizza Hut = :vomit: anyway.
Mall pizza = :hungry:

Yea, I saw one of these coming soon in New Braunfels in the center where the Target is on Walnut Ave. I've been so wanting to try one of these places. They built one by the H-E-B by Kitty Hawk rd but it's called something else not pappa murphy's. Same concept though, just can't think of the name.

My daughter has a friend that works at a local Pizza place. They charge a delivery fee and it does go to the driver, but it's not a tip. It's a 1-3 charge that is supposed to offset the gas and the use of their car. They often lose money on the deal. Plus their regular hourly wage is less than minimum wage.

Papa Murphy's don't deliver......I think all three major delivery places charge a delivery fee now, and these places use part of the fee to pay the driver a per dium for each delivery, which has always been the case, even before the delivery fee....the delivery fee is a way for these places to try and keep pizza prices reasonable while still providing a convenience...the driver doesn't keep all our fees...the pizza places keep some too...

own the business, see how much your losing in people taking 20 and 30 packets of cheese and peppers, and you'd pucker.
But no one ever looks at it from that angle.
