how to make good tips

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Learn the ropes. You need to know all of the major roads in your city, you need to know about regular customers, who tips well and who doesn't, and you need to know about the store's products. People will like you more if you are able to answer all of their questions.
    Be efficient. Don't speed enough to endanger yourself or others, but get the pizza there on time. Also, if you answer the phone instead of driving, tell people that the pizza will take a little longer than you actually expect it to take. They may be disappointed right then, but when you get the pizza to them earlier than they expected, they'll be thrilled.

  2. Step 2

    Be overly nice. Smile, even though there's nothing to smile about. Laugh, even though nothing is really all that funny. Ask how the customer is doing, comment on how pretty their house is, anything to show your friendly personality.
    If something goes wrong, apologize PROFUSELY. And then fix the problem. No amount of "I'm sorry"s is going to do the trick. A free soda might, however. And even if you don't get tipped a whole lot this time, they will remember you the next time you come.
    Regulars. They expect you to know what they like.

  3. Step 3

    When you do get tipped well, thank the customer. If it's a really good tip, thank them excessively. They like to know that their generosity is appreciated, and they'll remember next time.
    Overall, try to show the customer that you actually care, and take pride in your job. This fact alone is widely appreciated, and most customers actually do consider that when they decide how much to tip.
