Dominos Pizza Mark of Excellence Pizza Company Underemployment, Inadequate Compensation crowley, Texas
I've been delivering for Domino's for about 6 months now, and my car can't take it any longer. I talked to my manager and the company refuses to pay for any repairs. To make matters worse we get paid $5.50 an hour + $0.19 per mile + tips. Out of the $1.99 delivery charge on every delivery, the drivers get $0.00 of it.
I'm not a slacker, I work hard and earn my wage, yet even with tips I only make roughly $7 an hour (that's with subtracting gas, still below the minimum wage). I look for a new job daily, but still: Any man or woman who works, no matter what the job is, should be paid a living wage.
I'm filing a report because I'm tired of working hard for inadequate pay. Domino's shouldn't be allowed to get away with paying below minimum wage.
If every customer tipped, and tipped at least 10-15% it wouldn't be as big of an issue. Sadly, they don't. In fact, many feel that tipping is wrong. There are so many callous assholes in our delivery area, it makes working 40 hours delivering pizza, driving 300+ miles a week, not worth it for the compensation you receive, and the company needs to recognize this.

Living Wage Comment

I disagree with your comment regarding a living wage. Not every job out there is meant to support you as an independant adult. As a delivery driver the skills required are basic and do not warrant a large salary or income. The higher the skill and demand for a position, the greater the income will be. This is a job anybody can do and it is easy. Drivers and Mark of Excellence are fairly compensated for the work they do. Move to a store in a better area if you are not happy with the tips.
