Hopefully the drivers are fairly compensated. (They aren’t, hence the driver tip.)
Delivery of food from arbitrary restaurants so you do not to leave the house, by companies underpaying drivers while raising prices silently, adding service fees, and trying to push the burden of compensating the driver on you via tips.
First world problems require first world solutions.
+1.95 menu price on DD. +$3.99 delivery fee +$3.53 Fees(15%) & tax +$3.00 Tip
pretty sure the drivers only getting like $6.5
Not sure why they need 10%-20% from the restaurant and charge us $(3.99-6.99)+15%

A pizza place with a driver on staff can do route planning and coordination so maybe the pizzas for a group of three deliveries near each other come out of the oven around the same time, hopefully right as the driver gets back from their previous run.
That's harder to do with McDonald's. And if there's much of a wait, the fries show up cold and it's a bad experience.

The original premise was not that nobody is willing to do demand work for marginal wages, it's that there's enough competition in the labor market that wages need to be competitive, on a per hour basis, for things to work out. And that these one off jobs tend to need to be pretty pricey to make up for the variance in work availability vs. a steady hourly pay.
