Back in the earlier years many of us ordered pizza and wings with no additional charges from the restaurant.
- You consistently expected to leave a tip for the worker, although I only remember scarce instances where there was a separate “delivery fee” tacked onto the total after taxes.
This all changed in the early 10s as major pizza chains all started adopting delivery fees in unison as oil prices soared before & during the Great Recession. I stopped ordering pizzas by delivery except on special times as it was simply easier to option them up on my way home from work so my family could eat upon my arrival. That way you don’t even have to set aside currency for a tip since they hand you the boxes of pizza over the table. However, I had no option however to order my cannabis products via delivery for the first year that cannabis was legal in this state. The closest store was an hour away & I hated the traffic trying to get there. I would pay a small delivery fee & get my cannabis products brought to my door. But now that there are more retail locations around the state, this same cannabis dispensary’s delivery repair no longer delivers to my area. Their store is 30 min away, however it has horrendous parking due to its exact location downtown. At a particular point I couldn’t justify the time it would consume out of my afternoon just to stop at a store that was already slipping on the quality of its products in the first location. This cannabis dispensary lost a lot of quality customers when they rolled back much of their cannabis delivery services.
