30 years ago or so, I made roughly 14 an hour driving pizzas part time, 3x minimum wage at the time. The strategy was basically go fast, know where you’re going (no cell/ google maps), don’t get stuck with single pie runs to the end of the earth.

To see that 20/hr requires all kinds of strategies now — it’s a different world.

Whenever I saw "9735 Birchwood Ave"* pop up in the order queue, I would suddenly get inspired to go wash dishes or fold boxes or pop dough bubbles. Sometimes that inspiration would strike 2 or 3 of us at once!

Let the poor rookie go get stiffed on a tip.

* Address changed, but 25 year later I actually still remember the real address.
