- Actually, speeding doesn't help the company directly. Speeding is the
- result of greed on the driver's side of the business. The more runs
- you make, the more tips you get. The company only gets money from the
- pizza sales - faster delivery doesn't make the orders come in quicker
- and the $3 off isn't *that* common. Speeding only helps the driver.

- A few years ago I delivered for about 2 years in the Houston area. Never
- since have I had a $13/hr job listening to music...
