The first comment on that article when I read it, the guy says he will not tip his delivery driver if there’s a delivery fee. I can’t believe that after all these years, people still think that a driver is going to see one cent of a delivery fee. I remember Pizza Hut implementing a $1 or $2 delivery fee back in the late 90s, and our tips took a big hit. Back then, I figured that was just a learning curve, and eventually soon people would understand that it is not part of a driver’s compensation, but I guess here we are, 25+ years later.
Please don’t punish workers for a corporation’s greed. A delivery fee is not a tip.
This isn’t an unpopular opinion, a lot of people feel stressed during the holidays. However, to be fair, what are the stores and ad companies supposed to do? Of course they’re going to portray the holidays as a happy time, it would be strange and against their objective if they didn’t. Heads would roll at Ye Olde Major Ad Corp!
