Since these shitty companies don't provide vehicles or gas money most of that $15 is going to vehicle costs.
When I delivered for a pizza place in the late 90s in a midwest college town with my own car I got 15-20 per hour between base pay, gas and car use subsidy, and tips. That business was 90% deliveries, so the delivery was baked into the cost.
Americans be crazy. I never tipped in my life and ain't about to start.
"Let me help subsidise a company paying below minimum wage" totally normal not batshit insane idea.
Nice psyop there tbh... Why fuck over your worker when you can shift that blame on your idiot customers?
It is your fault Joe delivery guy doesn't get paid!!!!
Sir, we are aligned. If I was not clear, the corpo is shifting responsibility of wages to the end user and then makes them tip out of guilt.
If companies gonna be this greedy, deny the parasite profit full stop. Delivery is a luxury, nobody has yet to die from lacking delivery slop.
