Comment on I ordered my daughter a pizza, something I don't usually do. I got Domino's smallest size with two toppings. I got her cheese sticks and two sauces and tipped the driver 20%. $31.07.

      They do, except they have a $5.12 tip allowance

      If they don’t make $7.25 an hour the employer must pay the difference

        Most food delivery people are classified as “independent contractors” and are therefore not subject to minimum wage. This is almost certainly not consistent with federal law but multiple legal challenges have failed due to corrupt judges and captured regulators.
