I'm a 43-year-old mother of three young kids with a Master of Science degree.I also deliver pizzas
for a living.I started doing it after staying home with my children for four years.Caring for your kids all day is a fantastic opportunity for many women,but it wasn't right for me.I began suffering from depression and decided to get a job so I'd have more of my own identity.Now I work nights when husband is home so we don't have to depend on child care.
After I learned the basics of pizzas delivery-like getting the orders together and not getting lost-I began my new "career".Being competitive and organized by nature,I studied the tipping patterns of the town.
Our community had a small,expensive liberal-arts college full of students who orderd lots of pizzas.Most of the kids were friendly and polite.On Friday and Saturday nights,some of the dorms had huge parties.Though the stairs were sticky from beer and the music was so loud they couldn't hear me knock on the door,the crowds of happy students shouting,"Pizza!Pizza!" always let me through.
The frist few days of each month,one of us drivers would take our turn covering the public-housing developments.These customers did not always tip well,but I always liked seeing he children and adults sitting outside and enjoying the evenings when the weather was nice.
I also deliver to multimillion-dollar homes now,but the amount I make in tips has stayed the same,As I drive up to these beautiful houses,it's easy to fantasize about a generous tip.The person who answers the door always looks young and,like the members of my own family,highly educated .All I usually get is a brief "Thank you " and a dollar or two.
