I wouldn't want to work anywhere that would reward choosing pizza hut.

This is just so bizarre. As an applicant, why the hell would I want to use my ex/current-employer as channel for my next one? As an employer, I would probably be annoyed.

Is there something particular with NYC culture which makes this anything but weird and out of touch?

I guess it was only a matter of time before "openly bribing prospective employers" was the norm

proves you are too lazy to bring your resume to the office.

Apoorva Mehta founded Instacart in 2012 at age 26. He tried to apply for funding through Y Combinator but missed the deadline. He eventually got a meeting by using the Instacart mobile app to deliver a six-pack of beer from 21st Amendment Brewery to a Y Combinator partner[10] and was admitted to the summer of 2012 batch.[12] Y Combinator helped Mehta raise $2.3 million in funding[10] and enabled him to meet his two co-founders, Max Mullen and Brandon Leonardo.[11]

Dear Miss Manners,

I have a question about tipping a pizza delivery driver...

Sincerely, Mr. D. Boss
