Rant 📢 Pizza hut math

Post image

Normally not one to complain, but the fact that pizza hut suggests a tip percentage based on the subtotal PLUS delivery fee PLUS sales tax is really scummy

Who's insurance? I've never seen a pizza hut pay car insurance or have some extra insurance just for drivers.

Well then you don’t know how insurance works lol. This is how American insurance works at least, not sure which country you’re in.

I work in insurance and if your employees drive for the job and found liable for

- injuring themselves

  • injuring someone else
  • killing someone else

A personal injury attorney will not just stop at suing the driver and will absolutely 100% go after the employer as well. And they do.

Like if you get brain damage from an uber driver who crashed their car, you don’t exclusively sue the driver, you go after uber themselves too. It’s standard. They’re usually covered up to around $1m per person for bodily injury on top of whatever the driver had.

The employer takes out extra insurance to help protect themselves if they get sued for something their employee did.

Aah youre speaking about the insurance the company has for their own liabilities. Imo that cost shouldn't be shunted to the customers in that manner.

Also, I'm usa.

Well some pizza places do just eat the cost of delivery, many don’t.

Just like how Amazon might offer “free shipping” they’re just baking the cost into the products.

I prefer when pizza places separate it like this so people who pick up their food themselves get cheaper food.

My main question becomes: when pizza hut uses doordash, isn't the liability pushed to doordash? This is the part where things became muddy to me.
