I manage an auto parts store and I have always said we should share employee discounts with delivery drivers, we sure as **** eat enough pizzas and you guys sure do buy enough parts (well some do others just run a new corolla till it dies)

Oh yeah, we had a O'reilly's auto parts next door and I know I poured alot of money into that place, I've seen other drivers open their glove boxes and have little yellow receipts fall all over the place like a waterfall.
And as far as insurance goes, none of the drivers were dumb enough to tell their insurance they were drivers, we just tell them we drove the normal 10-12,000 miles a year and went on with life. We have had some wrecks but the driver always just tells the whole story minus the "I was on a delivery" part.
I also forgot to say, On a daily basis I would get people say "well the delivery fee was $2.50, so here is $2 more and me and you should be even right?" --- Here is the TRUTH about that, because I know some drivers would just tell them they got $0 of it... Out of the $2.50, We got $1.00 for the gas to go to your house and the store steals all the rest. Thats why drivers say "I dont get any of it" Because it goes into the tank (and any extra goes to oil/tires/maintenance)
So if it costs 15cents to get to your house and back we made 85cents off of it for our next oil change (Which is WAAAAY too often) If it costs 1.20 to get to your place and back, then we loose money.
And when gas goes up, they sometimes increase it to $1.05, $1.10, or $1.15 depending on how high it went but they were QUICK to take it back down if gas even thought to go back down in price.
