Free food is the bane of my existence. For some reason being given free food switches my brain into an automatic necessity to eat as much as possible. Normally I really don't over eat but something about free food makes me feel like I need to store fat for the winter. Although my job has ruined this for me by supplying only pasta for weeks. There is only so many carbs you can eat daily.

If you are ordering like 500 dollars worth of sandwiches delivered, you better be fucking tipping 50. If you can't do that then you cant afford to have the god damn sandwiches delivered. Pick them up from the store like a normal heterosexual person who doesn't secretly want to fuck 7 year olds.

I used to deliver pizzas, and can attest that delivery is the easiest job in the world. It does not take double the effort to deliver double the amount of food, unless we're talking monumental orders. I always appreciated the tips, but the percentage rule is just supported by delivery drivers' whining in most cases.

Ditto, it's like my brain gets trapped in this "it's free! it's free! it's free!" value hound logic loop and forces me to loop back and keep stuffing my face before all the free food vanishes. Never mind it's usually kind of shit food, it's empty calories, it's murdering my diet, and it's not like I'm fucking poor and can't afford to buy my own food. None of that matters in the face of the free food platter.

I think they actually have decent quality meat and toppings it's just that the default toppings are there to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Jimmy mustard, onion with oil and peppers should be the default instead of the basic bitch mayo/lettuce/tomato. It's just so damn bland that way.

Here are my faggot recommendations:

>Hunters club with double onion, double mustard, easy mayo and hot peppers
>Vito with easy mayo, double onions, "jimmy sauce", easy jimmy mustard and hot peppers

Damn bro I used to deliver as well, but a 50 dollar tip? Are you insane? Who does that.

Most I've ever gotten is like 20 in one delivery. But that's because the guys I was delivering to were extremely rich and drunk off champagne.

But in my country tips aren't really considered normal for deliverers for some reason.

Absolutely FUCK FREE OFFICE FOOD. This shit is a fucking scam to get you all in to sit through a meeting or get back to your desk because it's profitable for the company. A $100 sandwich tray is way cheaper than letting your workers go out and take an hour lunch break. They automatically get more time out of you, and you get screwed of an hour that you should have spent getting out of the fluorescent lighting. Oh but you saved $5 that day!!1 fuck off.

Different story if you work in a place where you can leave once your 8 hours are in. I've worked in 3 different office environments and the rule has been "get in at 8 (one place 9), do not leave until 5 at the earliest, no exceptions. Hour lunch break."

Done early? There is always more work. Leaving at 5 alone will get you dirty looks and a comment or two on your review.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the number of college graduates - by which I mean bonafide four-year institutions - on 4chan is vanishingly small.
