Job: pizza pony

App: Just eat but it's a small takeout pizza place

Where: Italy

Hours: 4pm to midnight

Customers: few tip, but none are particularly rude

Restaurant: they don't steal the tips at least

Free food: yes a pizza whenever I want, same with drinks, no sex

Maximizing tips: tell customer food will be ready by X, but it's actually earlier. I'm on a bicycle so I can take the quickest routes cars and mopeds can't pass through

I was temporarily a NEET living with my parents so I figured I could do this on the side to make enough money to buy fast food of my own. If you treat it as a job where you deliver shitty fast food to lazy retards in order to buy your own shitty fast food, it makes some sense. As a full or even part time job, it's awful and unsustainable if you have any dignity or self-respect. My parents were happier giving me an allowance than they were with me working such a shit job.

Just fine. Only ever had one truly horrendous incident where a pregnant bitch screamed at me for taking too long. The worst that happens is they don't say anything. If I detect rudeness, I will not tell them "good night".

>how do restaruants treat you
Variable. Some know me as a regular. Others, like one today, will ignore me and let the shit sit around to get cold.

>any free food/drinks/sex
Less than 1% of the time, but sure. Best one I got was $45 of free food from this dumb faggot who I blacklisted for being a faggot. Also been propositioned twice, once by a girl in lingerie the day after Valentine's and one who just straight up asked me if I was interested. Never followed through, cause I'm a bitch.

Yet $20 an hour, or $800 a week doing normal full time are almost impossible. The only assumption I can make here is that they're in busier areas, except that the schedules disappear faster in my part of town than anywhere else.
