So how many lemmy users are going to stop using food delivery to avoid being complicit?

I generally avoid food delivery apps because of the extra cost either way...but if you have a problem with the wages, just tip more. Tip cash if you have it -- there's no way for the app to get its hands on that money!

I either pick up the food myself or eat there and highly tip the server, because that's how the system works right now - but long term it would be better if they got more wages and didn't need to rely on generosity.

Definitely. I wish we'd ban tipping in North America.

And also put the taxes into the sticker/menu prices. No more of this price jumping at the register.

Someone using the service is already an en·abler (i-ˈnā-b(ə-)lər).

Tipping well enables the drivers to pay their bills, at least.
