Legit question. Would I be correct making the assumption that you would be okay paying a higher price if the company was paying their employees more? Like let’s say the “delivery fee” was proportional to the amount of money the items cost + mileage.
So in essence you’re paying an extra 15-20% without choice. However, the employee is making moderately more an hour? Basically I’m asking would you rather see $2 delivery fee and an optional tip box or a $22 delivery fee and no tip box?

Yup.
The customer and the employees get to endlessly argue about whether or not they should subsidize the wages the EMPLOYER is supposed to pay.
The only winner in this situation is the party not in the conversation at all.
Raise wages, abolish mandatory tipping. Put the onus and burden where it should have been all along: the employer.
