I work at a pizza place called Papas Pizza to go. It is all
the way in Weddington, which is about 30 minutes away. Luckily I don’t have to
make that far drive very often because I only have to work on Fridays, Saturdays,
and sometimes on Sunday. Which means that on a good weekend I get about 15 to
20 hours a week. Now you must be thinking why bother driving 30 minutes into
Weddington to go work at some small pizza place on the weekends. The reason is
that I get good tips on my deliveries, because we only deliver to houses that
are in a five-mile radius of the restaurant. My favorite deliveries are the
ones that are right down the road because normally people tip around five bucks
and all I had to do was drive around the corner. Plus I get two dollars out of the
total cost of the delivery as a delivery charge. So normally I get 7 to 10
dollars on every delivery and most of them are just around the corner. I get a
good number of deliveries since I only work weekends and those are really the
only big days for deliveries. Especially on Fridays and Saturdays when I am the
main delivery driver, meaning that I get the most deliveries and the most
hours. Another reason why I just don’t quite my job is friends. I have worked
at that pizza place for almost five years and over the years I have made some
great friends with pretty much everyone that works with me. I am even good
friends with my boss and manager. I have a lot of fun at work because the whole
time I’m at work all we do is joke around and have fun while still being able
to get the work done that needs to be done.
I am really jealous that you can earn quick money like that. I'm such a job hopper;not because i get fired just becasue I get bored with the job that I am doing.I think that's a great job and I never really realized how much money they make.
ReplyDeleteI myself work in a restaurant too, most people know it as mcdonalds lol. I wish we made tips there. I've been there for two and a half years and i love working with the people because they're my friends as well and i get along great with all the managers and General manger also. I would love to get a new job but hate to leave all of my friends behind.
ReplyDeleteWow, that really sounds like fun. My Uncle use to live in Weddington and that is a nice city. Sounds like you are not only having fun, but making money at the same time. Way to go!
