Why does it matter though? it doesn't matter if the burger cost $1 + $9 fee or $9 + $1 fee, from my perspective the burger cost $10.
But more I think people want their money to support the businesses that are making the food. Restaurants are very difficult businesses, and people that like them want to support them vs the VC backed startups.
It’s not much more extreme from what your comment said to say if you value a burger $10 it doesn’t matter if the $10 went to someone who involuntarily coerced the restaurant and $0 went to the restaurant. What is the name for workers who do work without pay?
Most people have some sense of moral rightness in their supply chain when an injustice is visible. That is why the apps hide their exorbitant fees.
If I'm the customer: yes. If I'm the restaurant: no, I would not agree to give out food if I'm getting paid zero.
> What is the name for workers who do work without pay?
Same thing if I'm the worker, it doesn't matter if the pay is $10 - $9 deduction or $1 - $0 deduction, in both case it really is $1. I then decide whether it worth my effort to do it for $1.
Well of you enjoy that restaurant you shouldn't be ok with it, because with price margins like you describe, that restaurant's not going to exist for very long.
That's only true in a vacuum though. There's so much more variable that makes it absurd to happen, except if we live in some kind of tv show.
Let say Uber eat charge too much and it kill their customer, will they keep doing it? Why would they? Theses customers are the one bringiner them this cash.
Why would no competitor see that and decide to charge 1% less? That would be absurd for the restaurant not to consider that one instead. That strategy would be incredibly easy to apply locally too.
Let's not forget that restaurant still can have their own delivery drivers too, like in the article we are talking about right now. That also means that you will have to pay for the marketing too that the delivery service provided for you beforehands... but that's normal business.
No one else is going to object if you consider whether a wallet vote is pretty blatantly encouraging and rewarding exploitive behavior.
It’s very hard to pretend the relationship is not exploitative.
Limited scope? Sure, its for my benefit and my convinience.
My point is if restaurant A sell burger for $1+$9 fee, restaurant B sell burger for $9+$1 fee, I would judge the quality of these 2 the same way.
Just because restaurant A burger cost $1 (for the restaurant), doesn't mean I have to judge them lightly.
