Jimmy Johns Delivery Guy Charts How Generously University Of Florida Fraternity Houses Tip
A Jimmy Johns delivery guy was tired of getting stiffed by fraternity houses when he dropped off their subs, so he decided to keep track of how well each of them tipped.
Here are the results he compiled about the different houses at the University of Florida.
From Gainesville Scene:
The most generous tipping frat? The gentleman of Kappa Alpha Order (KA), with an average tip of $2.50. Their average order size was $16.13.
The least generous tipping frat? The brothers of Alpha Epsilon Pi (AEPi), with an average tip of $1.36. However, their average order size was $8.11.
The highest percentage tipping frat? Pi Kappa Phi (Pi Kapp) tipped on average 24 percent of their total order.
The lowest percentage tipping frat? Tau Epsilon Phi (TEP) tipped on average 15 percent of their total order.
My biggest tip? $4 on an $19.50 order from Lambda Chi Alpha.
My smallest tip (besides getting stiffed)? $.50 on a $6.50 order from AEPi, and $.50 on a $9.50 order from Pike.
He also adds that the fraternity men who tipped less tended to reside closer to the store, so they undoubtedly factored distance into the equation.
But at the end of the day, this whole charade is an exercise in bullshit. Fraternity men aren’t any less likely to tip well, they just have big letters on the front of their houses that make them easy to target. This delivery guy acts like fraternities are just a bunch of cheap assholes who sit in their castles of decadence, ordering subpar deli sandwiches and tossing chump change at delivery guys like they’re peasants.
Come on now. Not every frat guy is loaded. Far from it. In fact, I guarantee a large number of those deliveries were for people who work equally shitty jobs to pay for dues. Delivery boy is just writing us off as privileged, stingy snobs so he can circlejerk over his “independence” with the other hipsters in his scene mag.
I hope long hours on the bike seat render this douchebag impotent..

15% was the lowest percentage which is a very common tip percentage.
9 years ago at 1:23 pmHe received above average tipping, recorded a no-tip only twice, and earns at least minimum wage (actual, not the pennies waitresses make). Fuck this guy.
9 years ago at 4:29 pmWork and learn a skill so you don’t have to deliver subs for living
9 years ago at 1:24 pmAEPi doesn’t tip well? Who’d have thunk it.
9 years ago at 1:26 pmTEP too.. Shit’s the joke of the school right now.
9 years ago at 3:02 pmDont you mean Tip?
9 years ago at 3:15 pmNo I meant TEP. The other Jewish Frat..
9 years ago at 3:22 pmAs a fraternity member who also works at Jimmy Johns, I’ll let you guys in on a little secret. Jimmy Johns delivery guys get paid minimum wage hourly. We don’t rely on our tips to make our wage, the tips are just a bonus (I usually end up making about $12 an hour with tips). So yes, this guy is just a pretentious douchebag
9 years ago at 1:49 pmDo you get made fun of for working Jimmy Johns?
9 years ago at 2:12 pmDo you get made fun of for working at weinerville?
9 years ago at 2:13 pmI’m the mayor, bitch.
9 years ago at 2:16 pmDid you Make Weinerville Great Again?
9 years ago at 2:42 pmIt was always great.
9 years ago at 2:44 pmIf one of our brothers worked at Jimmy John’s I’d shit myself with joy.
9 years ago at 2:53 pmI have a feeling you get plenty of footlongs already, chief.
9 years ago at 3:34 pmSome may say we are racist but I’ll be damned if someone calls me cheap with my sandwiches.
9 years ago at 1:50 pmIn ZAX…???
9 years ago at 2:05 pmIn ZAX baby. That $4 tip is me nigga
9 years ago at 5:14 pmFirst off, fuck my fellow Delta Chi that didn’t tip at all, especially if they’re pretty far away. That’s shitty.
Second, as a former delivery driver who had to pay for his own gas, I feel for this kid, but he is kind of a whiner. Coming from a place of experience and empathy, my baseline tip is $4-5 because I know an extra couple bucks can turn a shitty shift around mentally, but I would never expect more than $2-3 from my average delivery, or less on orders as cheap as he deals with, and anything above that was great. An average tip with every order meant I’d usually leave with more money than 18-year-old me needed.
9 years ago at 2:08 pmDammit Pike
9 years ago at 2:44 pmFor the love of god, please stop using the term “Frat Guy(s)” in these articles.
9 years ago at 2:51 pmIt’s Boosh. From his photo he’s the guy most of us couldn’t wait until he graduated or dropped (including dropped out).
9 years ago at 12:29 amas a server in a restaurant, reading about this guy complaining about a 15% tip being the lowest percentage he’s gotten is rediculous. Delivering sandwiches is not hard in the slightest, so don’t complain about an average percentage tip.
