The first comment on that article when I read it, the guy says he will not tip his delivery driver if there's a delivery fee. I can't believe that after all these years, people still think that a driver is going to see one cent of a delivery fee. I remember Pizza Hut implementing a $1 or $2 delivery fee back in the late 90s, and our tips took a big hit. Back then, I figured that was just a learning curve, and eventually soon people would understand that it is not part of a driver's compensation, but I guess here we are, 25+ years later.

Please don't punish workers for a corporation's greed. A delivery fee is not a tip.

The pandemic definitely pushed companies into finally adopting it, but believe me, it was not a new concept. I remember reading an article 20 yrs ago about Best Buy adopting it, for example, and how it increased productivity and morale, etc. Since then, it's been catching on, I've had plenty of friends that have worked from home since long before the pandemic, it's just that a lot of companies were still afraid of giving their employees that much autonomy.

New idea? I remember it being a new idea in the early 2000s
