Seriously are there people out there who don’t OVER tip when the weather is horrible but they still get their delivery?
My delivery app already charges extra when the weather is bad. Mandatory tip = no extra tip
Ain’t no one delivering to me out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere anyway.
We have someone in one of the neighbouring villages that delivers some burgers and local stuff (e.g. aligot) if you order before 6pm.
I made an order for the next morning… and the first heavy snowstorm hit overnight. I wrote it off as well im not getting that order.
But the crazy driver actually delivered. I felt so bad for them! No tip though, cause I don’t support the tipping culture.
Yeah, I got some pizza delivered during yesterday’s snowstorm. Fuck tipping culture, my tip for the driver was to reccomend they get a better job that doesn’t have them driving in a blizzard.
I think you in misunderstood my comment.
I understood, I just don’t believe in /s’ when shitposting
Running a winter-hardened rally car isn’t cheap. They better get hazard pay.
I used to run a pizza place. Bad snow was some of the worst. Half the staff would call off and we’d have double the orders. We were in a mostly flat city on a grid, so we would cut delivery down to just the grid. People would be furious to be denied delivery pizza. “I just drove up the hill an hour ago! It’s fine!” Yeah in your truck. My delivery driver is in a beat up twenty year old four cylinder.
One day I tried to take our car to work and immediately put it in a ditch. I called my boss while I walked to work. I said we can’t do delivery today this is too extreme. He said oh just do the grid like usual. The only driver who showed up that morning wrecked his car on his third delivery. We always told them, take the topper off your car and hide it in your trunk. If insurance finds out you were doing commercial business they will not pay.
Technically it’s not the power of the engine but the AWD/4WD. You can floor your engine and just skid on ice. Subarus are pretty cheap 4 cyl boxer engines known for great handling in snow with some clever differential systems they have (viscuous coupling diffs, active torque split, etc.) But yeah a Ford Focus or Honda Civic or whatever with FWD only will leave you stranded. Not your main point I know.
There is a reason why the Italian mountain police uses the Fiat Panda (other than it being an Italian car)
That fucker will go ANYWHERE
I just shake my head at people that think if you’re spinning out on the ice, just press the throttle harder. Fucking idiots.
With that said, a beater with snow tires and chains on the trunk (and a driver that knows how to put them on before they are needed) will do better than a Subaru with all season tires.
Source: Subaru forums, even a RWD like a BRZ/FRS with snow tires can be safe if driven with the car’s limitations in mind.
One time it snowed a foot or two in Seattle. I had a set of studded tires on a little Toyota Tercel and I swear I was the only fucker driving around. Uphill, downhill, cruising down the lumpy hard-packed freeway, didn’t have any problems. Besides, if you get stuck in a Tercel you can just lift the whole rear of the car out of the snow with a second person. I really miss that car.
