>order a Pepperoni pizza for $9.99
>Delivery not available for orders under $12 (even though the fee and tip made the total over $17.00, the tax + fee alone made it over $14.00)
>Have to order a drink to hit the $12 minimum
>now my "$9.99" pizza is $19.80

Like I get they have to have the delivery fee, but when the order doubles in price it just makes me

not want the thing. in any sense of the word want.

Grubhub is the worst for this. Your order basically doubles at checkout because of all their fees.

any delivery fee over $2 automatically removes a place from consideration for me. it's why I rarely use postmates. This one place wanted SEVEN dollars as a delivery fee. Fuck that

If you are a delivery driver is it worth it to you to drive food 5 miles to someone's place, risk them not tipping you, and returning back for $2? Just hypothetical, not trying to knock you down or anything.

Fee is separate from the tip. Delivery fees are a way for restaurants to siphon extra money out of you. The driver doesn't see any of it, tip or no tip.

That makes it even worse then. I legitimate believe if someone has a charge of $18.70 a lot of people would give a $20 and say keep the change. That's a shit tip, because I think people assume the delivery fee goes to the driver.

Just buy frozen pizzas when you do groceries for a fraction of the price.

This is why I only do pickup. I'm not paying double price just so I don't have to drive a little bit. Where I live is just a stone's throw from just about everything so I never have to drive far to pick anything up either so yeah.

Thats why you plan ahead bro. Get your munchies when you're getting your alcohol/before you start drinking. I always know I get hungry when I drink so I always have something lined up to chow on before I start hitting the bottle.

Working for Door Dash made me realize how fucking stupid food delivery is. I've seen people pay an extra 10 dollars just to get delivered to no joke the same shopping center.

At the same time delivery drivers do not get paid enough to deal with wear on their car, nor having to deal with restaurants/people.

If you want to hear worse, think about this. You have a nice dinner at a somewhat expensive restaurant. Lets say you spent 50 dollars on your meal. You leave a 10 dollar tip because the food was fairly good. The guy who cooks your food gets less than 1/10th of that tip. The way my buddy whose a cook(as well as a chef we had come in to teach cooking classes at our store) put it backroom staff will get 1/10th of the tip split between them, unless specified otherwise. So of a 10 dollar tip, 1 dollar is split between lets say 10 kitchen staff. So the guy who cooked the food that you loved gets 10 cents of that tip. Mind you they should be getting paid more than the wait staff, but that's not always the case.

If you ask for the tip to be left for the chef, he will get all of the tip.

Its literally how Little Caesar's (before the pandemic) has survived for decades being cheap af pizza. Theres no overhead for delivery drivers salaries, car insurance, tips, etc because everyone has to drive and pick their shit up themselves.

Where did you order from? Go local if you can, they seem grateful for your order and in my experience they haven't been having minimum amount to get delivery.

I can't use Grubhub at all. Only used it for Wendys once and that's because of a promotion. The delivery fees are completely risible
