As someone whos has been a driver and manager at multiple places over multiple years, I have NEVER seen anyone make less than minimum wage BEFORE tips.
We had split pay too, if i worked a manager shift it was $8 an hour and delivery was $5.25 IIRC
I would never order from anywhere that does that
Store I delivered at, all the drivers made below minimum before tips. Minimum in store, 1/2 that on the road. Plus a pittance in mileage that never actually covered it
I've been managing pizza delivery for almost 35 years. It's common practice, at least in my area.
That is sad, and you guys should be ashamed of taking advantage of people.
