Do you Tip on Take Out?

I've always struggled with tipping. Do I intentionally tip high to make a statement that 'all black people don't suck at tipping'? Do I tip based on service? Do I tip out of pity that the server is making 3 cents an hour? Do I say "fuck tipping... I didn't tell you work here?" Suffice it to say I've been all over the spectrum with tipping.

Last night I was craving pizza, so we decided to grab some Domino's. Now, before you throw stones by way, yes... I'm a Chicagoan that absolutely LOVES Domino's pizza. They updates they did to the crust is just amazeballs. So, instead of using my trusty Domino's App that never fails me, I got the bright idea to order online using my laptop. Large, original crust with pepperoni, mushrooms and green peppers! Done and done.

I head out of the house to pick it up... something I hardly EVER do when ordering pizza... and once I got to the location they were all crickets saying my order never went through. What the? *le sigh* So, I order it again and they assure me they can crank it out within 12 mins.

I grab something to drink and go wait in my car... fast forward 12 mins later and the quickness with which those Domino's employees not only made my order, but flew out of the store with multiple orders to deliver... and all with SMILES plastered on their faces. I was blown away.

I left a tip on a carry out order... which I almost NEVER do. Seeing the level of service and work that goes into putting everything together... well, yes... it's deserving of a tip too. It might not be what you'd tip for dine in service, but seriously... TIP!!!

Life made Simple

A pizza craving hit me Saturday night and I decided to order some Domino's. Say what you will, but I've always liked their pizza. I think it goes back to 'pizza days' in elementary school lol... but I was on the phone and decided to try ordering my food online. Wow is all I can say... their online ordering process is AMAZING! Sometimes we find things that make life that much easier for us and Domino's has not only mastered, but set the bar HIGH for online ordering.

From the moment I placed my order I was given an up to the minute update on its status. I opted for pickup instead of delivery and it was beyond helpful to see when my pizza had been placed in the oven to bake... was being inspected... and even ready for pick up!



Now... you may be thinking what good is this fabulous online ordering process if their pizza doesn't rock your world. Well, I must also add that all of the advertising they've been doing about having improved the taste of their food is true! Their crust is better, the ingredients tastier and the sauce... well, saucier! I have to say that I was really pleased with their pizza... pleased enough to pass the word along my my blog friends that this is a must try. You can visit their online site and see what coupons/specials are available in your area... but please have a taste and let me know what you think.
