Yes you should still tip. The delivery fee is probably to cover the cost of gas. When I worked at Domino's they charged a dollar delivery fee and that was given to me to cover the rising cost of gas. You don't want it to pay the fee go pick it up yourself.

So, the delivery cost does end up going to the driver?

For 30 bucks I would expect a nice seafood risotto with a glass of wine.

Are you some sort of shmuck? Did you buy your meal though a proxy?

For $30 I can buy the ingredients to make a far better pasta dish, have enough to serve three people, and still have money left over.

Where are the other portions? Will you eat them all?
in my fridge, for eating later.

Stop making fun of me guys, I thought that food would be awesome, if I knew I was gonna get chef boyardee and a tupperware full of cxheese, I'd have bought the ingredients and made my own damn manicotti :-(

That's what you get for acting all high and mighty with your shitty fattening fast food products.

EDIT - LOL YOU LIEK TEA CUPS? :lol

Italian food outside of NYC is not Italian Food. It mounts a valiant effort, but it doesnt come close...


anyway... my dinner tonight was a KFC mashed potato bowl.

This makes me feel worse than anything else. I work out 2 hours every day, take vitamins and protein shakes, I'm a vegetarian and I do yoga and read women's health magazines for ab and ass tips.

When I'm not poor as shit, I'm much better at controlling what I eat. But because I'm on a budget, I undereat, then snap and pull shit like this :-(

Don't remind me. I've only been to NYC once, and yeah, I had Italian food. Oh god. It was like a new world.

Tonight I had the Ultimate Feast from Red Lobster.

Don't laugh. I live in Indiana and my choices for seafood are - Red Lobster and Red Lobster.

It was really good. Especially the crab legs.

Do you have any idea how much steak you could've purchased for $30?

Instead, you bought one meal's worth of pasta, cheese, tomato sauce, bread, and soup. SOUP!

Contrary to what new yorkers claim, the world outside the city limits is not a barren wasteland and there are quite a few places to get better food.

How do people enjoy Subway? Seriosuly have some self respect and get a Quizno's $5 footlong.

$5 footlong my ass. Last time I went to Quiznos they charged me $8 for a 4 inch and another $2 for a drink. I wish the had Wawa's in North Jersey. I'm getting sick of Subway and Quickcheck just plain sucks.

As for the OP. Damn $30 for that? Could have had a three course meal at Applebees for $9.99. And I'm sure their Italian stuff is just as good(bad) as what you ate.

So if my Italian grandma makes me dinner, it's just not real Italian food? Damn, I guess I gotta go to NYC soon.

Where I worked at yes. I don't know for most places. At the same time I was paying 3 bucks a gallon out of my pocket to deliver to people. I was also getting paid minimum wage and relied on tips for my main source of income. I also remember at the time filing up every other day. I do live in a big city though, Atlanta, and traffic sucked around dinner time. Plus the delivery area was around 15 miles border north, south, east, and west while also delivering to multiple people in one route.

I'm... a vegetarian. And as delicious as steak is, 30 dollars worth isn't going to sate my hunger.

You obviously don't deserve to eat delicious meat.

Er...how about italian food in Italy? LOLWUT111

I am talking about in the states...

If you go to a place called Luigis in like Kansas somewhere, its not going to be good...

Trust me I went to an Italian joint in PA, and it was bleh...

The only Italian place I can say that is somewhat decent (and I use that term loosely) is Bucca di Beppo

My girlfriend is italian, and could cook a far better dish of pasta for about 10 bucks with one hand tied behind her back. sorry mate, you got served.


In the OP's defense, I once went to this amazing mexican resturant, got a HUGE awesome plate of nachos for like 14 bucks, and i swear it was a mountain fit to feed 10 people. So, a couple months later, I was hosting a party, and I decided to take out 2 orders of the nachos, thinking that it would be enough to feed a small army. Instead, they shoved them into this tiny stupid foam box, and the two of them were probably half the size of the one I had as a sit down patron.

All of South Philadelphia begs to differ.

I came into this thread expecting a pretty entree at a restaurant with a nice glass of wine.

DISAPPOINTMENT.

Get your shit straight, Quizno's is way pricier than Subway (though IMO it's justified). And he said a club, which is one of the cheaper sandwiches for sure.

Great, another one of these people. They must assume no Italian communities exist outside of NY. Like they just rose from the earth.

For some reason the "That food is only good from X, and only I know where it is," posters have really come out this month.

No, they don't exist outside of Philadelphia, through New Jersey, to New York City.

On normal circumstances after being called a douche I would say "eat shit", but it looks like you are already doing so.


Oohhhhh disssss.

THat's what I heard. But my grandma's a bit racist.
Whenever I go visit my grandma in Michigan she doesn't go to Detroit with us. She'd never admit it but we know that she's kinda scared of black people. It's pretty funny but a bit sad.

I had some prepackaged Tyson chicken strips (They are pretty good though), cut up some onions, cut up some bellpepper, heated that all together with various seasonings (Worcestershire sauce, pepper, garlic powder, a little onion powder), and once that was done, I mixed in some thai noodles that I had also been boiling.

Washed down with diet pepsi.

Damn good, probably less calories, and definitely less then 30 bucks.
