Conversely, people might not tip because the fees are so high.

I’m starting to get to the point where I might fall in this camp. I used to tip $5 when getting a pizza delivered. Now the “delivery fee” at my local place is $7.49…… idk how the delivery fee can be that high when the place is a 12 minute drive from me

I ALWAYS tip, I order considerably less frequently because the fees are so outrageous. It would be one thing if it was a flat fee, but the fees increase with order size so it gets exorbitant quickly.

Extra bullshit fees are there to make sure the company can still keep making the same kind of profit. They'll still pay minimum wage and expect the customers to kindly pay for the lionshare of the wages with tips. Who the hell wants to order food, let alone pay for a tip if the order for a single person comes to over $50? That's 3-4 hours of work for many people even in the west. That's someones internet bill.

If you can't run a business without extra "fees", you shouldn't be in business. Nor should you be in business if you can't pay a livable wage for your employees. But that could be several thousands of dollars when rents have skyrocketed so much. So I guess just shoot your landlord and eat it, instead of ordering pizza.
