Thoughts of a Pizza Delivery Guy

I've been delivering pizzas for a little over 2 years now and while it is probably one of the most enjoyable jobs I've ever had, nothing gets me more salty than a rough day at work. When things are going good delivering is great; people are friendly and the money is solid but some nights it feels like nobody is happy to see you. I feel like a lot of people really don't appreciate the service that we provide. I risk my life and the life of my car every night just so people don't have to get out of their house. I don't think a few bucks is too much to ask for bringing a meal to your doorstep and yet time after time there are people that just don't ever tip. Pizza delivery is considered a dangerous job by the government, we are considered the third most likely to get murdered on the job behind cops and taxi drivers. There have been multiple occasions that I've feared for my life while working all because people don't feel like going out to get their food. So next time you order delivery please just be considerate of the person bringing you that food and throw them a couple bucks for coming out.
