As they get base pay plus a percentage of the order, you aren’t obligated to tip. So don’t worry about it - the fees are enough pay for what they do.

You definitely should read the comment above. You're definitely obligated to tip

This is not true at all. May your deliveries be cold and your fries eternally soggy until you learn your lesson.

The reality is, without tips no one is going to do that job. If you value that service being available to you, you will tip accordingly.

No - the people doing the job get a cut of the sale, as well as part of the delivery fee. A tip is EXTRA if the person ordering it wants to give it.

If the person doesn’t want to give a tip for whatever reason, they don’t have to. But the person delivering still needs to do their job and deliver, in order to earn their fee and cut, and to keep their job.

Right, but it’s not worth doing if you don’t make good money. What you just described isn’t actually very much, so without tips, it’s unlikely people will do this job.

Then that’s their choice.

It should also be the choice of the consumer to not tip. The drivers still get paid.

Well it is, but that service will go away if people cannot make money doing it. One way or another, the consumer will have to pay.
