Article: You'll get better tips if you look presentable. Wear clothes without stains or rips, if possible, and make sure your hair is neat. Some guys even say they get better tips when they are clean-shaven, so you could consider getting rid of your beard if you're not too attached to it. Make an "X" or an arrow that points to all three lines on the receipt (total, tip, and signature). Highlighting just the tip line is tacky, but pointing out all three may make a customer more likely to fill in that tip line rather than leave it blank. Rather than giving a five dollar bill back when someone hands you $20 and their total was $15, give them back five ones. This way, they'll be more likely to give you a couple bucks, rather than stuffing that $5 back in their pocket. Some people add a tip to the bill on a credit card at the time they order. Though it may be tempting to leave this order for last, since you know you've already bagged a tip, don't do that. Give them the respect they deserve and deliver their pizza promptly. They'll remember your effort, and will be more likely to tip you well the next time, too. Some people order pizza often and may have tipped you well in the past. Try to remember these customers, and treat them well. Ask how they are doing, or suggest new menu items you think they may like. A little extra effort can go a long way to ensuring you always receive a good tip from these customers. While you may not be able to offer discounts or give out free pizza or sodas, you can offer extra items. Bring extra napkins, plates, or seasonings, such as red peppers or parmesan cheese. Offering these to your customers when you arrive shows them that you are prepared and that you care about their order and experience.

Article: Start by rolling two small balls of clay about the size of a pin head. Press each ball onto the sides of the angel's head, turning them into slight disks. Make them level with the dent, and position them closer to the face than to the back of the head. Use a clay tool, or another blunt-tipped tool, to blend in the front part of the ears towards the angel's face. Do not blend in the back of the ears. Choose some clay for your angel's hair. It can be yellow, brown, black, or even a surprising color, like pink or purple. Roll out your desired clay into a thin sheet. You can use an acrylic tube to do this, or simply press the clay between your fingers to make a "pancake." Use a toothpick to draw streaks into the clay going widthwise. Be sure to cover the top of the head as well. Don't cover the face. Smooth the top of the sheet over the top of the head. If you'd like to, you can add a parting crease with a toothpick. Roll out thin coils of clay, then attach them to the front of the hairline. They can be as long and wispy as you'd like. For a more realistic effect, have all the smaller hair pieces come from the start of the part. Consider adding some streaks to the bangs before you attach them to the head. To make curls: attach tip of coil to head, twist the other end into a coil, then position it using clay tools or a toothpick. To make blunt-cut or straight-across bangs: roll out a thin sheet of clay, then cut it down to a triangle or rectangle shape that will fill in the gap on the forehead. Press it onto the forehead.

Add small balls of skin-toned clay for the ears. Blend the front part of the ears in only. Roll some hair-colored clay into a sheet and add streaks into it. Wrap the sheet around the angel's head to make the hair. Add smaller pieces for the bangs.
