Concerning the Economy: Plenty of Jobs Like Mine
Advertisements [?]
$6.50 per hour plus tips, no paid vacation days, no paid sick days, no health insurance, no possibility of a raise, and now no days off working just short of 40 hours per week since another one of the drivers quit.

With the price of gas what it is, and people actually tipping less, pizza delivery driving has lots of openings.

Delivery driving can be fun, but lately I see a lot of people my age and older working such jobs out of need, along with their other jobs.

In fact they all work so many hours and are so worn out, they are almost never willing to work hours for anyone else.

Do you see much of this or is it totally foreign to your experience?

I'm going to go swimming now before I go to work.

See you later!
