I ordered some food today for delivery. The bill came to 18 bucks....a little short on the tip I tucked a 2 dollar bill in the 20 for the driver to get a nice 4 dollar comfy tip.....she then told me she 2 dollar bills don't exist, called her supervisor (who wasnt much older than her) and couldnt confirm it for her either. Long story short....I asked for exact change back, stiffed her the tip and kept my 2 dollar bills and extra 2 ones and was told by the supervisor on the phone that they refuse to deliver to my house anymore.

Are people really this dumb??? I mean really??? All this because I was trying to give her a nice tip. WTF

any thoughts??

I can see where a younger kid never saw one. when did they print the last one?

They are an oddity, most people would def look twice at em if they saw one.

I got a dollar bill from the WWII era the other day, thought it was a fake at first.

And next time, pay in Sacajawea coins.

Dumbass, she didn't deserve a tip if she didn't understand what a $2 bill was.

I have one sitting at my desk here actually. Bonzo, it was it printed in 2003.

lol i have a stack of 2 dollar bills in a binder. i used to save every one that i got...and i got a lot with my mom being a waitress.

thats funny about it being on the radio....but seriously though...ive never once in my life been given a problem about them before until today....it was quite frustrating trying to explain to this girl that it was legit. even if it wasnt...whats it matter? im overpaying anyway :evil:

even if she didn't know $2 bills existed, why complain? there was enough for the bill and a small tip in there already, she should've just accepted it

I had no idea 2 dollar bills were in print up to 20003?!

I'm 20 and I've seen plenty as a kid. I havent seen one in a very long time but I know they are real. I was under the impression they stopped printing them in the 70s or 80s and thats why they are so rare.

I remember when I was little I had a babysitter that had a ton of $2 bills stashed all around her house (in the couch etc.) but acted like they were gold. I asked for one bc I thought they were cool and she made a huge deal out of it. b*tch. :lol:

because after refusing my tip (not payment for food but a freaking tip) i asked for exact change back down to the cents. upon returning to the store the manager called me and said ''we dont appreciate the way you treated our driver, so we reserve the right to decline future business from you''.

Is it a chain or a local place? Either way I'd write a letter to, or meet with, the owner and inform him/her of what happened. Should get some free food out of the deal.

I always keep some in my wallet. Any bank you go to always has some in their drawers. It's kind of funny to go to Shop-Rite and use a couple of them on a young cashier and have them tell you that they are not real. The only ones that are going to be worth extra to a collector are the RED seal bills. That design has his home (Monticello) on the back and the newer bills have a GREEN seal and on the back is the signing of the Decleration of Independence. Some of the Red seal bill back to 1927. Kind of neat to have something in your hands that has survived over 80 years.

The BG guy that used to come by my shop used to exchange tokens for $2 bills. I think I have them around still.

There are plenty of pizza places around, I'm sure a different delivery person would appreciate it.

i escort pizza and i would be pissed if i didnt get a tip, i expect 3 minimum from every house people dont realize how much gas is and how cheap everyone is which sucks cause i get like 5 houses a day with no tip, but anyway i like getting the 2 dollar bills and dollar coins theyre kinda cool

lol thats the type of attitude that doesnt get you the tip. Expecting a tip = you get no tip. Performing the service, within my expectations or beyond gets you a tip. If i hand you money and you dont reach for your pocket to give me change and try walking away....guess what...im calling you back to the door to give me my change :nod:

but thats neither here nor there.
What nasty said, no one is entitled to a tip. Tip is me being nice, all I have to do is simply pay the bill from the establishment. That of course doesn't exclude times when tips are included in the bill, but that's not what we are talking about here. I've given a tip as small as 1 cent :lol:.

little tid bit here, the word "tips" came from english coffee houses. a tip was given at the beginning of the order "to insure promptness" or "prompt service," i forget which. now back to your regularly scheduled madness.

I tip based on the amount traveled and the order. Most place around here already charge a $1.50 delivery fee which the driver gets. If it's a small pizza from around the corner they're getting $2. That would be, in total, $3.50 for a mile trip(literally one mile).

If it's a large order and from a place that's further out they get a bigger tip...and if it's the same delivery and he takes care of us then we take care of him.

thats not always the case, i work at pats they charge a fee but i dont get it

hope you are talking about pizza delivery drivers and not waiters/waitresses.

im not quite sure why this thread is still going on. to the OP, why not just come to the quick conclusion that the driver is an idiot, go back into your house take the 20 seconds it takes to find 2 single dollar bills, 8 quaters, 20 dimes, whatever, or better yet just leave her with the 2 dollar tip. save the driver the time, enjoy your pizza faster, and not post on a forum about your negative dining experience.

stiffing pizza delivery guys isnt smart, especially when they just delivered to YOUR house, and now know where YOU live...for future reference.

first off.....

tip is not guaranteed to anyone. waiter/waitress or delivery. its a pat on the back for meeting or exceeding my expectations.

second.....

i didnt have anything else smaller than a 20 besides the 2 dollar bills. my change goes into a big jug for son and im not taking from him to give someone a tip thats insulting me by not taking my money. again...i couldve left her with just the 2 dollar tip but after refusing my tip i showed her what its like to be greedy and act like she was owed it.

third.....

no one posted in this thread for the last three days...so this thread wasnt still going on. it was dead, you revived it with your nonsense.

fourth.....

it would be kinda dumb for the driver to retaliate against my house. especially since i know what kind of car they have, where they work and would be really easy to send the police their way for questioning...which doesnt look good to a job at all.

first...a tip may not be guaranteed but servers are different than delivery drivers. servers dont make minimum wage like drivers they make less than 3.50 an hour. refer to this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enJwYaeolXc beginning at :45. you remind me of mr. pink.

second...she didnt 'refuse' your tip she was just too idiotic to know that 2 dollar bills existed. you still could have saved the time by just throwing the 20 at her, taking your meal, and closing your door. im not quite sure how the driver expressed the fact that she acted like she was owed it, she just seemed ignorant to believe 2 dollar bills existed. and so what if she even did, you learn a new thing everyday.

third...im sorry i dont look into your threads on a hourly basis but it was bold in my new posts category toward the top of the page meaning it has unread posts.

fourth...it wouldnt be dumb for a driver to retaliate at all. you wasted her time maybe she should give you a taste of your own medicine. im not saying burn your house down, but a carton of eggs on sale at quick check may be the equivalent of what the pizza place gives their drivers from the delivery charge, or a bag of dog crap smeared on your door handle is free. not quite sure what the police could do...

first...

im well aware of how much they DONT make. not my fault. either seek a job that doesnt rely on the GENEROSITY of others or maybe work a bit harder to make sure they truly please the customer in order to EARN that tip. its not AUTOMATIC.

second....

she called her boss, refused the tip and stood there refusing to give my food until i gave her what she thought was legal tender. upon doing that i gave her the twenty, took my food and asked for exact change back and sent her on her way.

third...

i dont give a rats ass

fourth....

i wasted her time by ordering from her establishment which entails her to have a paying job??? wow i wish someone would waste my time like that.

tossing eggs, poop or whatever have you is at the very least criminal mischief. knowing that was the only person in my area that has a problem with me would be the person i had a scuffle with earlier in the day would lead me to tell the police who i thought it was....especially if my house was the only house on the block that was trespassed against.

either way you can tell what type of person you are if the first thing you would think of is to destroy someone elses property because they ''wasted your time.''

go have fun with your eggs and dog poop....sounds like the breakfast of whiners :nod:

first...you can work as hard as you want as a server or drive as fast as you can as a delivery driver to satisfy the customer and ignorant people such as yourself wont tip over something stupid, in this case, the fact that the girl didnt know two dollar bills existed.

second.......she then told me she 2 dollar bills don't exist, called her supervisor this in no way shape or form qualifies for refusing a tip, it just shows that she wasnt aware of 2 dollar bills. there still at this point is no reason to not give her the 20 and walk away and save everyone elses time. she didnt say, oh no sir, 2 dollar bills dont exist, but please make my delivery out to your house not worth any of my time by me giving you exact change back. see now if you wrote that that would be more believable to me.

third...awesome, problem solved.

fourth...no you wasted her time not by ordering, by being a smartass and asking for exact change, having her call a supervisor while having her stand there. thats wasting someones time. walking back to her car to get your change, thats a waste of time, getting exact change down to the penny, thats a waste of time. you were being a wiseass and theres not one person on this forum who wouldnt say so.

id die laughing if you told the police your story and they looked at you and said, well why didnt you tip?

look back in my previous post...i never said anything about destroying anything. and it also shows that type of person YOU are by even creating a thread like this. it seems like youre the type of person who goes out and looks for situations like these because you can get a one up on someone just because they are trying to make a few bucks working.

oh no that hurts my feelings i better go egg their house or leave doo doo on their porch.

the whole point boils down that she refused half the tip. so i figured if my money is no good to her then she gets none.
