Note I did not buy any food for myself.
To head off questions:
-
No, I couldn’t cook for her. I’m suffering from a long-term illness where I can’t eat solid foods and am extremely smell sensitive. My wife is at a funeral, so I had to order food.
-
She’s extremely picky and refused to let me order anything but pizza.
-
We live outside of town, in a not very big town, with very few pizza delivery options, and they’re all at least this expensive.
-
No, I didn’t also have to buy her the cheesy bread or the second topping or the sauces, but it’s nice to get my daughter a treat and that is no excuse for the order being that expensive.
-
We’re in Indiana, so this should be ludicrous in terms of pricing. This used to be the pricing I would expect when we lived in L.A. and ordered from a good local place rather than a chain.

If you are paying separately for the delivery, what is the tip for?

The poorly-paid driver, who doesn’t get any of that delivery fee. I’m fine paying that part, but the delivery fee is bullshit.

I’m not so sure we should lump in the pizza driver with all the other delivery drivers. Generally being a pizza delivery person is a decent first job and they usually work in the store too, and receive an hourly wage.
Not to say you shouldnt tip them, just not out of guilt.

Right, I agree with you there. I guess I should invert my question. If you’re tipping the driver, what is the delivery fee for?
These two costs seem redundant.

This is the only part of what you’ve posted in this entire thread that I agree with.
Wise up, man… You cost yourself a ton of extra money and came here to whine for sympathy and, deservingly, received none.

Stop paying your employees with this one weird trick
