I know I haven't posted in awhile. Been alternating busy and apathetic.
I probably won't be be posting per hour earnings anymore, unless its unusual.

here's some tidbits:
Trailer park residents as a general rule, are good tippers. There are exceptions, of course.

People paying by CC are poor to fair tippers.

We only have a few black people in this small town. I've delivered to 5 homes where the person paying was black. 4 out of 5 of those were lousy tippers. My first one left a good tip. 2 let me have the change out of a dollar (.51 and .49 cents). 2 left no tip at all. This isn't racism, its a fact. Not a big demographic to be sure. probably 99% of my deliveries are to white people. The other 1% are non-whites, which include asians, blacks, hispanics, and everything else.

Asians tend to be poor to fair tippers (again, not much of a demographic). There is one fella at the trailer park who seems to be of asian/hispanic descent. He's a good tipper.

People who live in big homes by the local lake tend to be poor to fair. More poor than fair if they pay via CC.

Little old ladies tend to be poor tippers-I think this is just because they just don't know better.

People living in low income housing tend to be fair to poor.

As a side note, I'm told I can expect more hours, now that the "kids" (younger drivers) are going back to school, and that the football games are coming. We'll see!

I Know EXACTLY how you feel! My second job is also beign the pizza girl. Doesn't just drive you nuts when you get to the door and they smile at you and say "Here you go EXACT change!" like they are proud of it? And in my experience men are better tippers, women are poor to fair and children are the worse. Don't ever send your kid to pay for the pizza with out giving them enough for the tip too!
