Reply to comment by RampantRooster in Domino’s Pizza will soon have 800 electric vehicles for delivery drivers by redingerforcongress

I ordered not long ago. Currently it is a five dollar delivery fee. Then they go on to say please appreciate our drivers (because we don’t) and leave them a tip. I was cynical believing that the mandatory five dollar fee goes to the store and not to the driver who is actually doing the delivering and also risking their ass out there. I normally don’t do any delivery but I had Covid. I didn’t want to go out and infect people for pizza.

It's gotten stupid, and I've seen the same amounts for delivery fees.

To be honest, I'd fully believe it's just greed and the store is pocketing most, if not all, of that five bucks. But I don't know for sure, obviously.

For what it's worth, I did also make minimum wage hourly. It wasn't that sort of situation where I got less hourly because tips. 7+ years ago, me making ~$16/hour after tips and before gas and vehicle maintenance was actually pretty decent for a college student where I lived. Those 8-9 hour weekend closing shifts where I'd go home with $130 in my pocket were pretty nice.
