All of them delivery apps are scumbags, do what I do, stop using them, go old school, call the restaurant, pick up the food, the restaurant gets to keep 100%, not the 70%. And, really, no one is commuting, so there is no traffic, get your asses of the couch..really..

A company is not properly paying their drivers so we should change our behavior such that we eliminate their jobs entirely?

Wouldn't this at least allow for an opening in the market that can be filled by an organization that doesn't exploit drivers? If we continue to support a company that could do better without placing either legal or market pressure, no one has any reason to change.

Yeah, and we should also organize and vote for better labor laws so we can build strong unions again.

You think the company is not aware of their exploitative behavior, they get away with it because they can. And you as a consumer, can either bring it to their notice, if you have the time and effort to do so, or you vote with your wallet.

Yes, companies that exploit workers are a disease.

> 100%, not the 70%

Are these real numbers on the markup of e-delivery companies or just examples?

Most delivery apps keep between 15% to 30% of the total order.
