They waste gas to drive to your house, not to mention wear and tear on their car. Personally I think they should not only charge to deliver, but charge based on how many kms away you live.RinardoEvoris wrote: ↑ I would love to pinpoint when the delivery fee became a thing. It's literally a pizza places job to deliver pizza and at some point they just sort of snuck in a charge. It's like a restaurant charging you for the waitress to bring the food to your table. That's what their job is and that's what we tip them for. You want to charge me $3.75 to do something they were doing for free before? I very rarely ever order pizza anymore. With the $3.75 deliver fee and a $4-5 tip (depending how much you order) it really bumps up the price.
On a side note, how much do you tip for delivery? When you go to a restaurant the wait staff makes many trips back and forth to the table the more food and drinks are ordered. So you spend 40$ you tip $6 but on $100 you tip $15 because of the extra work they do. What about a pizza delivery. For the most part the delivery driver is doing the same amount of work if I order 1 pizza or I order 5 pizzas. Do you really need to tip the driver 15% on a 100$ order when all he/she is doing is walking up your driveway once?
I remember it being free everywhere. Mind u this is going back a while but yes it was free. I agree that it should be free all the time.BeapChastard wrote: ↑ They waste gas to drive to your house, not to mention wear and tear on their car.

When did delivery used to be free? I don't remember it ever being free.
