spanky1 09/30/22 11:01:17 PM #1:	When I was younger, and even fairly recently, there actually was no delivery fee. You paid for the pizza, and then you tipped the delivery driver a tip. That was it. Now, Dominos has a 5 dollars delivery fee. And then you're expected to tip on top of that. So a ten dollar pizza actually costs you twenty. Where does that delivery fee go? What's it for? How did these businesses thrive when there was no delivery fee, but now they need one to stay in business? --- http://i.imgur.com/DCjoiZ0.jpg https://www.deviantart.com/fuee/art/spanky1-811230163 <cite>spanky1 posted [p:968409106] in How is it ...

Lord_Ephraim 09/30/22 11:51:02 PM #13:	The delivery fees was a GrubHub/DoorDash thing. When pizza delivery businesses saw this, they realized they could get away with it too. Now it's almost $20 cheaper to do carryout for pizza. No fees plus deals for carryout. This is how Little Caesar's got away with $5 for their hot and ready takeout. Even if their pizza wasn't that good, it was cheap and edible. --- SNARGLEBLAGH <cite>Lord_Ephraim posted [p:968409781] in How is it ...
