Would you tip a pizza driver in a Jag?
So I'm having this little issue... I have always wanted to be a pizza delivery driver and it's the summer before I go to college so I said screw it and got a delivery job. It doesn't pay as well as my old job, but I have always wanted to do it and this is my last opportunity. Anyways, I deliver pizzas in my black x-type sport and my manager says he has never seen anyone get tipped so poorly. Do you think it's because they see the Jag and then reduce their tip, or am I just unlucky?
I do have other cars, but they don't get as good of mileage, so I'll just get a little poll going to see what people think.
Would you tip higher to a delivery driver in this:
#1
or this
#2
or this
#3

Damn.... Well it looks like I might have to park around the corner now, or put insurance back on the volvo and save it from the crusher .
Would anyone tip any differently for the Jeep? (amazingly it gets better mileage than the volvo... The volvo's odometer stopped at 185k mile about 15 years ago so the compression is shot thus why it has no top)
Ootis, I think that a suit and tie would either give me incredible tips or nothing at all!
Mikey, we use tips to pay for gas to deliver YOUR pizza. That "delivery charge" just pays our $4.50 an hour haha.

I don't think any amount of tips would cover that funky pizza smell inside your Jag.
And if anyone made you deliver them a pizza with anchovies, I would suggest you simply shoot them when they answered their door.
The only place more sacrosanct than the inside of a church is the inside of a Jaguar.
Take the Volvo.

Since the top doesn't work on the volvo, it would suck to pay for insurance and then have a rainy week in which you cannot work.
Honestly the jeep has the look of said pizza guy imo. It has the -I need a fair tip for the gas and this is a high school summer job- status.
I always have the tip figured out before hand, then it starts getting smaller if he/she runs late.
Good luck with the job and safe delivering, any crazy stories report back!

It shouldn't matter what kind of car you drive while you're working. In the end you're still working as a pizza delivery driver. That's not a knock on you or your job. For example I worked in the factories and as a lot porter at dealerships over the summers to help pay for some school. My coworkers liked to poke fun of me for driving nice cars to work (the Jag and a Mercedes before that) and the occasional a-hole would call me spoiled. But in the end, I always reminded them that I'm still there working the same job as them right along side them. I never thought of myself better than them because of the car I drive.
I never understood why people tipped less for those reasons. If you didn't need the tip, you wouldn't be doing that job.

I wish to revise my answer. I re-read the question:
"Would you tip a pizza driver in a Jag?"
As the question can be interpreted in at least two different ways:
1) the car and the driver would be tipped simultaneously
2) Just the driver is tipped, but while he's inside the car
There is a concern that the car itself might become damaged while the tipping is going on. Sounds too risky to me.

Well I believe his question doesn't necessarily apply to us as Jag owners but to normal people and their idea of what a Jag is to them.
If answering as a person that has never owned a Jag, I would definitely NOT tip you a thing. I would think that your well off daddy gave you his old car and forced you to get a job so you can learn responsibility.
However being a Jag owner and knowing the relative low cost of maintaining one of our cars, I would tip you the normal rate.. I usually tip pretty generously (as in keep the change) but like I said, I think you are asking about what the normal "ignorant" pizza buyer will be thinking when you pull up in a Jag. Imo, don't drive the Jag. It may or may not hurt, but it definitely doesn't help.
As Frank said, an old honda or toyota is sufficiently on par with what I would expect and what the mainstream would expect to see when their pizza arrives. Whether that affects their generosity is unknown.
