Where? Sounds like NY or San Fran! lol
Are you implying that take-out delivery drivers in other areas throughout the U.S. would not have received tips? If so, that is not something that I was aware of at the time. Being just 16, I was just happy to get the extra money.
It was just a summer job. During the school year I spent all that time studying.
The business was a take-out and delivery operation run by a husband and wife. They had no sit-down area and opened for business at 4pm as I recall. On the busier nights they had two of us delivery drivers. We peeled shrimp, cleaned vegetables, and washed pots and pans between deliveries.
The two delivery vehicles were the Chinese couple's own cars.
George and Doris were good to me and I tried to do my best for them. I really hated to leave them at the end of summer. It was a great learning experience.
