How can anybody make a liven on a $8.00 an hour job?

I live in NY I work at a pizzeria making $6/hour plus tips from deliveries. I am losing money working here.?

• There's a delivery charge on anything that's delivered, but I, the driver, who is wasting my gas and depreciating my vehicle, don't get to see that money. I get no extra compensation for gas or depreciation of my truck (which gets 14-16 mpgs). I have to fill up every 5-6 days because I commute 36 miles daily and then do deliveries at night. Fill ups cost me anywhere from $55-80. After a good week I usually get about $70 from my cheapo boss. People around here tip poorly. I usually get $1-3 tips occasionally a nice person or a friend will give me $5-7. There's not even that many deliveries alot of times I make no deliveries and make no tips. If the person I deliver to doesn't tip me, I just wasted gas and depreciated my truck for $6 an hour on a 10 minute delivery. That doesn't even cover gas. I feel like something is wrong here and I'm not profiting any money. I constantly talk to my boss about how I deserve to get paid more and he always says what the hell do you do you do nothing! I bust my a*s working for him he has me do all this work I breathe in bleach all the time, when we heat up the metal parts of the stove and spray bleach on them I can't breathe from all the bleach steam that comes up, I scrub the ceilings and the walls and the dishes, the windows, the signs, the floor, I calk the sink, I get dirty and sweaty breaking my back for six measly dollars an hour. I've been here for 6 months. Looking at his employment history I'm the longest delivery boy who's ever been here. The boss likes me alot ( i wonder why, none of his other delivery boys ever did any kinda work like I do) he has a fence company on the side I even busted my a*s helping him with a fence. I worked 10 hours in the hot summer sun with no break no water no food no nothing. For that he paid me $69 and thought he was such a big generous guy. What can I do besides quit? I am looking for another job, sadly this is all i've got and I can't afford to quit even though every day I see him all I want to do is tell him I quit and yell at him. He's a complete hot head he yells all the time for every little thing. That doesn't bother me too much because I yell right back and stand my ground, but it'd be nice to not always be yelled at for everything I do. O and one other thing, he always tries to get me to do work and deliveries when I'm off the clock if I like sign out and am having a slice a pizza for dinner since I don't get breaks. If i worked from 5-10:15 he tries to make me write on the calendar 5-10 because he told me at 9:50 I had to finish everything by 10. If I don't finish say doing the dishes and taking out the garbage by 10 they'll make me finish and then tell me that I can't write down the actual time I finished that I have to write down 10. I can't take it anymore I'm about to flip out can anybody tell me anything I can do???
