Someone answered the door not Owens and gave deliveryman James McDevitt a $5 tip. McDevitt said he left the tip on the door step.

Why? What's his point? Poor T.O. needs all the money he can get?
 
2005-11-08 01:42:26 PM
He'll probably use it to sign up for TF.
 
2005-11-08 01:43:11 PM
Oh noes... two T.O. greenlights!

Fark you and die. I hope you never play again.

Hey. TO has a family to feed and a mall to maintain.

You are a pizza delivery guy. Can you really afford ot be leaving $5 on someone's doorstep?

For the right to brag that you wouldn't even take TOs money? Yeah.

When I delivered pizzas in college, I would take ANY tips provided. Many people do not tip, or give crummy tips. Five bucks is a pretty decent tip for 2 pizzas. Never happened to me, but I had friends who were offered hits of weed and beers at some frat houses- in addition to tips.

My husbands second job is delivering pizza. He would have never left the money and he would have biatched that a man with some much income tipped so little. I am sure TO didn't get his little feelings hurt because the pizza guy wouldn't accept a tip. That's lame.
 
2005-11-08 02:11:22 PM
is a fantastic player....ok...fine....YEA for him.
but he's an idiot. he needs to shut the fark up and recognize the football world will not end without him.

2005-11-08 02:12:25 PM
Supposedly, the driver left it for T.O. because of T.O.'s biatching and whining during preseason for more millions to feed his family.
 
2005-11-08 02:12:29 PM
I didn't realize pizza delivery tip amount was based on a percent age of the customer's annual income.

What if the delivery guy was a butt cheetoh, or had a boogie hanging out. I would say $5 is enough.
 
2005-11-08 02:15:40 PM
left the $5.00 on the doorstep....however, unconfirmed reports that he stole the lawn gnome, and took TV guide out of Owen's mailbox."


Is it true TO has a white lawn jockey?
 
2005-11-08 02:15:46 PM
if he isn't using the 5 dollars he can foward that on to me
 
2005-11-08 02:16:37 PM
I'd have taken the $5 and left him a butt loaf.
 
2005-11-08 02:16:41 PM
...And then the wind blew the $5 bill away. End of story.

It's 4th and long and the clock's winding down, TO. Bub-bye!
 
2005-11-08 02:17:12 PM
I deliver pizza and there is no excuse to not tip. That is how pizza guys pay their rent, through tips. Yeah we get money for gas and it is supposed to add up, but if you have to drive 10 miles one way, $1.60 for gas is making me pay to deliver to you losers that don't tip. An average tip is $2. A good tip is typically $5. I would have taken that. And there are certain ethnicities that never tip. You know who you are. Cheap asses.

Smith, Harrison, and Johnson haven't been playing on a team with an injured QB.

Look at TO's whole career (he even put up big numbers being thrown to by Jeff Garcia). The man is a douche but there is no denying that, when he plays hard, he has serious chops.
 
2005-11-08 02:18:10 PM
I wonder if TO will hold out for more money to stay at home?

Later, two pizzas were delivered to Owens' home. Someone answered the door not Owens and gave deliveryman James McDevitt a $5 tip. McDevitt said he left the tip on the door step.

Boy, you sure told him!

/better check those pizzas
 
2005-11-08 02:19:55 PM
I would have given him a pizza ....

WITH SAUSAGE!

Really? What team does he play for?
 
2005-11-08 02:21:22 PM
The pizza guy has since told reporters that he wants to restructure his tip money and called out Papa John for giving up in the Super Bowl. He also said if Little Caesar was in charge his "30 minutes or less" record would be undefeated.

For all those that say they would have kept the tip, would you keep the tip if you were delivering the pizza to Hitler? And he lived in the US now. And he ordered a pizza. You get my point.

/godwins_law
 
2005-11-08 02:26:36 PM
And stay out of Baltimore, biatch!

Of course, if there are any other decent players out there, we'd love to have you.

I heard it was the delivery guys 100 pizza he deliverd this season!

go pizza dude!
 
2005-11-08 02:29:27 PM
Lurker_John: Really? What team does he play for?

Right now he plays for nobody but the man has logged 10,535 career recieving yards and over 100 touchdowns.

There is no doubt that he is an asshole and a serious detriment to team chemistry but you were making an argument that he wasn't an elite reciever based on stats and I am telling you that you are either being willfully ignorant or an idiot.

You don't seem like an idiot so we are going to assume that you overlooked the fact that he has put up big numbers over his career.

news confrence today...

 
2005-11-08 02:35:20 PM
For all those that say they would have kept the tip, would you keep the tip if you were delivering the pizza to Hitler?

If he autographed it, and maybe drew one of those little moustaches on Abe Lincoln, I might. Or, ask him to do it with five ones, instead. Then, I'd put them up on eBay. So, yeah, I'd probably do that. And I might want a picture, too, since it would be odd to find Hitler alive in America ordering a pizza, since someone his age should probably not be eating pizza.
 
2005-11-08 02:35:57 PM
So why isn't the "tip" included in the delivery bill so every single customer doesn't have to come up with some artificial random amount on their own for a service that involves almost zero personal attention.
 
2005-11-08 02:39:04 PM
Smed: we are going to assume that you overlooked the fact that he has put up big numbers over his career.

So by that logic you'd rather have Jerry Rice on your team than Steve Smith? After all, he's got better career numbers.

You must be one of those people who stays up late arguing that YA Tittle was a better QB than Charley Trippi.

/who gives a shiat?

nytmare: So why isn't the "tip" included in the delivery bill so every single customer doesn't have to come up with some artificial random amount on their own for a service that involves almost zero personal attention.

See, I agree with this. I know that pizza delivery guys earn a shiatty salary and I am always sure to tip them. That said, I think it should be the responsibility of their employer to pay them enough. I like the fact that I am expected to tip at a restaurant because I can withold it in part of in whole in the case of terrible service or increase it in the event of extraordinary service. The range of service I have recieved from pizza delivery guys, however, is not nearly as great as in restaurants.
 
2005-11-08 02:44:02 PM
Lurker_John: So by that logic you'd rather have Jerry Rice on your team than Steve Smith? After all, he's got better career numbers.

No, because Jerry Rice is much older and more broken down than Steve Smith. Owens is still in prime physical shape. The fact that Smith has been better over a period of 8 games is a pretty small sample size.

I'd still rather have Smith because he isn't an asshole and I think that helps the team. I just think it is a tough argument to make that TO isn't an elite reciever in terms of skill and physical ability.
 
2005-11-08 02:45:19 PM
I wonder if the pizza guy left the five bucks on the doorstep because he hates T.O. and doesn't want his stinkin' money, or because he is in awe of T.O.'s superstardom and getting to deliver a pizza to his house is rewarding enough.

Either way it's pretty funny.

Here in Chicago there is usually a $2 delivery charge. I still tip. Maintaining a car and insuring it for business purposes isn't cheap, and wages are not high enough to cover that.

In most places though adding a delivery charge cuts into the amount of tips you could make. The wages I'm paid are the same, or less then the guy making the pizzas, or at the Mom and Pop place I worked, I probably took your order, made it, and delivered it. Your wages are for the phone work, cleaning, and helping the make line.

When I deliverd pizzas I had customers that knew their order would get there quickly and with all the extras, sides, drinks, and anything else they requested (napkins, paper plates, etc..). When I needed new tires that was out of my pocket, not the business'. Same with more frequent oil changes, and scheduled maintenace. If I had been working at Target or some other retail box I wouldn't be needing work on my car related to the job.

There's a lot more personal attention for pizza delivery then you probably even realize.

Because you will sell only half as many pizzas when Jimmys Pizza opens next door.. for pizzas and subs that are 2 dollars less.

Would you go to Exxon if the price of gas was 2.40, or Shell at 2.00 a gallon (without the 20% tip so the employees can make a living)

A few pennies and some people will go to a preferred station.. not for 40 cents a gallon.

If all the big boys decided to add 2 dollar charge, it would work.

I dont know why they dont try electric delivery vehicles. It seems that would save a bundle on gas. especially in areas that have hydro.

If I got lucky, it was 10-15 trips a night. maybe 30-40 miles.
This should easily be doable in trucks that have a bed of batteries, and they can charge for 11 hours overnight. They can get used at lunch, then charge till 4.
