I personally believe these businesses have lagged seriously in upgrading themselves to what was coming for them. They would have paid a certain percentage to cooks, and staff from the prices they were charging, definitely lower than they deserved (hence tipping). Nobody ever complained about them not paying enough and not buying insurance for them. Now once these delivery companies have forced their hands into paying commissions (BTW same items are expensive 10-30% on Uber/DoorDash and people still order) they have suddenly came to a rude awakening. Not that I don’t sympathize with small business owners going through trouble, but this sound hypocritical when Amazon in retail space has done exact thing and nobody cares, but over here everyone sees opportunity for political point scoring.

Tiping and how it is used in some countries to basically subsidize staff wages is just so wrong.
For example in Japan there is no tipping and trying to do so will be considered very rude. The restaurant and its staff are professionals, they have set a price and you are paying it. They dont expect a tip for doing a good job as they simply strive to do a good job each and every time they serve guests.

Some people care about both.
