Delivery fee and service fee wouldn't exist if that there are no service. Service fee is to keep the app server up and running and the delivery fee is to keep more drivers interest in the job they work. Without those you won't get a working app to order food and no driver to come take that food and deliver it to you. Tipping on the other hand should had always be optional, it should never be required. Why stores and restaurants used tipping as mandatory pay is illegal.

I think you misunderstood nyc was raising the minimum wage to 20 dollars so you don’t have to tip. The culture of tipping in America is based in slavery when suddenly slavery became illegal and restaurants had to actually pay people they implemented tipping so they could still avoid paying them a wage. Nobody should demand a tip ever but most people probably aren’t entitled they are just paid next to nothing and companies say well we don’t need to pay them a minimum wage tips make up their wage.

Nope. Delivery fee, service charge, item prices are higher than if you bought them at the restaurant and portion sizes in delivery are often smaller. I don’t order food for delivery. My options are make it at home or go pick something up myself. And I am NOT tipping people who hand a bag to me over the counter or through a drive-through window. I tip waitstaff, barbers/stylists, etc. I’m done helping corporations pay for their employees through extra fees , etc. Pay your workers a living wage, stop finagling hours to avoid paying benefits, etc. If you have to raise prices, so be it, but do it fairly. Not extra, ridiculous fees and tips for workers who are doing their basic job.

I work in a restaurant and we have a few customers who phone in their order, swiftly take it away and eat it on the bench next to our restaurant (it’s in the middle of a business district). They politely decline extra condiments/utensils, and they don’t stick around for even a second of small talk. They just get their food and go. No tip necessary. I appreciate these people! Like, if you mustn’t tip then don’t but then don’t stick around and make 5,000 special requests and expect to be served and bussed by a $7/hr service person. Choose the appropriate adventure!

It's actually LEGAL for restaurants to charge FOH staff a reimbursement fee for credit card tips! So on top of paying out: bar back, busser, food runner, expo, hostess etc we now have to compensate for the guest to charge their tip! We were only taking home 70-75% of tips prior and now it's an extra $100 per month (ave, if you work 4-5 shifts per week). I don't buy food at work to balance that loss. Service will not go down if we move away from a tipped system. In Europe, they pay staff living wage and service is fine not to mention customer service in general is at all time low across the board, so why do we put up w a tipped system anymore?) All we're doing here is perpetuating a financial caste system.

Since prices have 'skyrocketed, in recent years, even the original tip percentages would now have increased, e.g..a 15% tip on a then $20. bill would be $3.00 & that same 15% on a $100. bill is now $15.00!, so why would current tippers need to also increase the percentage of the tip?
