Yes, and the solution is to pay the business their money but stiff the worker so he quits and the business can extort some other poor sap down on his luck, that’ll teach those rich bastards who never knew the delivery guy existed to begin with! Definitely don’t change your habits and instead cook, pick up, or only order from places that do pay fairly, because that would inconvenience you, and strong opinions are only fun if they burden someone innocent who isn’t you!
I agree, of course if everyone quit like I did because otherwise I couldn’t afford both rent AND food, you wouldn’t be able to order your precious delivery. Thankfully for you there is a never ending supply of poor saps willing to be exploited by the business and you so they just replaced me with some other guy you can stiff and look down upon who gets paid even less base pay than I did! You really helped!
If you willingly participate in a system that makes you responsible for paying their wages, then yes it is. Participating in said system only up until the point where you are also in on exploitation of said worker for your benefit makes you in on scamming the worker with the owner. You and the owner are compatriots, not the worker in this set up, both jointly exploiting the worker from both ends, all because you don’t want to heat up nuggies yourself. You can’t pretend to take the high road on this one.
Modern extortion.
Yes, vastly underpaid workers are stealing your money.
Seems like whoever’s underpaying them is the culprit, huh?

The solution is to not work for people that won’t even pay minimum wage.

I really did, if it made even one person get out of being exploited like that. It’s not my responsibility to pay their wages.
