I have to confess... the size of my tip is inversely proportional to the delivery
time. Hey, when Domino's had the free pizza after 30 minutes rule, I used to time
them with a stopwatch! To be fair the same stopwatch came out at my local bank
when they paid $5.00 to anyone who waited more than 7 minutes for a teller.
You're right... the messengers are reacting to the demands of their employers who
in turn are reacting to the demands of their customers.... a vicious cycle!
