You are correct. As a (USA) pizza delivery driver myself, I appreciate the shorter deliveries just as much. I get $1.00 per delivery towards gas so the shorter ones help balance out the farther ones. Plus I can get back to the store quickly to take my next delivery.

Well, I maybe wouldn’t call him idiot because… Maybe he was just busy (he sure sounded like that) and sometimes when we are busy we tend to say things hastily and might make quick & bad decisions. I know I have done that more than once in the past, and I suppose that might also happen in the future.

We already moved to another apartment so he is now maybe 4 miles away from us. Hey, maybe I should call him now – maybe we NOW live enough far away for him to deliver pizzas to us! :)

He’s an idiot and you’re not lazy. Geez, 50 metres! ,i>he could’ve walked and could probably have done with the exercise!

You’re so right when you identify small mindedness as his problem. We get so fixated on immediate gratification that we don’t realise that you have to give to get, you have to spend maoney to make money and word of mouth is your best advertising.

Man, I would make him come back again and again until he gets it. Have some fun with him.

Didn’t realize you were in Finland. Here in the US, if you don’t tip your pizza guy, you can expect him to be surly. If you do tip, you can expect him to be prompt and marginally friendly, particularly after repeat custom.

If your delivery guy hadn’t had a bad day by then, he sure did afterwards!

@Stephanie: no, we don’t tip pizza delivery driver (or pretty much anyone else) here in Finland. (that’s a *tip* for anyone visiting Finland btw – it would be considered very strange if you’d tip somebody). We actually had been “loyal customers” ordering or buying pizzas from that place at least for several months. I don’t know if he had a bad day or what.

I have to ask, though. Were you in the habit of tipping the pizza delivery driver? If so, then his attitude had no place– he got a tip whether he went to a great effort, or if he went around the block. If not, then I can see why his attitude might be a bit surly.

Of course, if this was the first experience with the pizza place, then he made a pretty serious error in customer service.
