  sales tax would be less than a dollar

  Entirely locality dependent. Where I live, tax on a $20 tab would be a little under $2. I know there’s some municipalities where it’d be as high as $2.40.

  So, sure, technically still not $25, but once you need more than a $20 bill, it’s not obscene to round up to the nearest $5.

    Where I’m at, I’m pretty sure sales taxes aren’t assessed on the fees, only on the product

  you see, the delivery fee is $7, but then you also have to pay $5 in “other fees”, whatever that means

    Probably an “online convenience fee,” as if it’s more work to have an order print up at the restaurant than to make someone there take a phone call.
