It’s not about paying, my insurance will get me back. It’s about the wait time in the emergency room. If you’re not dying they never see you until early in the morning

You see how that would be bad for the economy, right? Good for individual workers, but bad for consumers since there’s no longer a person doing some service, like I don’t know, medical care. I fell off the bike in Canada and spent 7 hours covered in blood before a nurse saw me and bandaged me up.
As an American I also had to pay $1000 USD for this (insurance will eventually refund this to me, hopefully)

Domino’s has not. Yet people criticize a few dollars delivery fee, despite Uber eats actually costing more (maybe not at first glance, but the prices in store and online are different which is worse)

That applies to Uber Eats and similar, not to Domino’s delivery drivers who are Domino’s employees

Unemployment is very low
Not really an improvement from 2019, but basically has been around that 4% value for a while
In fact, president Biden noted “unemployment has been at or below 4% for 30 months—the longest stretch in 50 years.”

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

What? It costs money for the delivery. That’s a fact

During the shutdowns there’s a compositional effect of lower wage workers losing their jobs.
I’m talking about the difference from 2019 to now, people are making more money even accounting for inflation

Domino’s where I am just drop your order at the counter. Does yours have waiters?

The people who order delivery must be subsidized by the pick up customers now?
Because if you pay those wages from the price of the pizza, then everyone is paying for deliveries even if they don’t get pizza delivered.
Notice nobody said the charge is too much, they immediately didn’t want to pay anything

Your income maybe didn’t go up, but this isn’t true in general

The driver still gets an hourly wage, so they still need to pay them for delivering. I don’t understand how you expect delivery to be the same price as pick up.

That’s on them, the pound is exactly 0.45359237 kg

I used a similar tool in the past. When I wanted to re-enable something, I forgot which tool I used to disable it, and I couldn’t actually get it working ever again
- Comment on Everyday, as an American 6 months ago:
Actually, we’re on the metric system. The foot and inch are defined exactly by their metric conversion values, and so is the pound
We’re actually just using conversion factors
