I just got a part-time job as a food delivery person and they are offering me $7/hour plus a partial delivery charge, plus tips, of course. What I find strange is that I don't get reimbursed for gas mileage (I have to use my own car). Is this normal? What are your thoughts/experiences?

My daughter delivered pizza for awhile. She had to pay for her own gas, it is normal practice. The tips more than make up for what you spend on gas

My friend is a district manager for a pizza franchise and I called to ask him what he thought. Nearly any food service is going to pay a minumal amount of hourly pay. And getting part of the delivery charge he said isn't that common or at least not common for around here. So he said basically they are using the deleivery charge as a form of reimbursmant of mileage. His stores do not give anything for the deleivery charge, the company pockets it. However they do get a mileage reimbursmant, which if you think about it is the same thing. They are taking that money out of the charge for deleivery.
I don't think your getting treated unfairly, so I hope that helped you :)

Definately sounds fair for a job. MOst of them dont reimburse you for miles. They expect your tips to do that, but they dont sometimes. however it is a good type of job to have. I enjoyed it, however try to keep it on the DL with your auto insurance company cause your rates will go WAY up if they find out. At least mine did.

Its fair only if you agree to it. Sounds like they want you to kick in as much as possible. It is your vehicle not theirs. Guess you gotta figure what tips and PARTIAL delivery charge is. Do you get a full delivery charge if only PART of the order is delivered. ?? Maybe?
Sounds fairly normal though

That's probably what the delivery charge covers-- I wouldn't expect to get a delivery charge and mileage-- one or the other.

Gary S is probably about right. What no one has told you is many insurance companies don't cover you when you use your own car this way. I would check with my insurance company. If it requires you to get some form of commercial insurance you may not even break even on this job.

This is normal because you don't claim tips.

well, i think you should talk to your boss for this because they should be reimbursing you.
