Can you blame the drivers? If the driver is there on time the restaurant should be held totally liable, maybe $5 per minute while the driver’s waiting.
The driver is getting totally hosed.
BS
You assume a degree of perfection and precision that is not possible.
The delivery service is agent, not boss
How are drivers paid? By the hour; are they getting docked for down time waiting for orders?
Yes, I can blame the driver. His reaction is totally out of line.
The guy clocked the lady with a tip jar..!!
Yeah...that is assault.
Or did you forget your /s
That is an insane and ridiculous comment. Just plain dumb.
You’re kidding, right?
“Can you blame the drivers? If the driver is there on time the restaurant should be held totally liable, maybe $5 per minute while the driver’s waiting.

ROTFLMAO at your post.
so that justifies hitting another worker?
So now a driver gets to walk in and expect the order to be ready ahead of all the dine-in customers who have been waiting?
What is it about a driver who thinks that the world of commerce must conform to HIS timetable?

Yes, I can blame the drivers. They made a bad business decision, signing on with a service that has an unworkable business model.
What if the driver is late?
I do deliveries as a licensed Independent Contractor.
I am at the age where I can pick and choose and do what I want.
I checked into one of the Uber type ‘services’ called ‘Roadie’ and the bids put out I wouldn’t touch with a ten foot pole because the prices are terribly low, and it turns out that what they basically do is hire (after signing up etc) whoever is going in that direction.
A good example is a job was offered from near Front Royal VA to Denver CO and even though a week was given, the pay was about 800 bucks for a 1700 mi(orso) job.
I have seen others that are paying less per mi.
On one hand they tell you that if you make a delivery, chances are pretty good you can get one to carry you back BUT the setup is basically for ‘joe citizen’ to delivery your piano 2000 miles because he is going that way.
All I can really see this doing is slicing into an already ‘slow’ business.
I would NEVER do food (MAYBE if I personally know the owner..but doubtful) and I can imagine this pizza delivery guy gets the app, is told to be xxxxx at 6PM - he is ‘fined’ if late and the customer (on both ends) writes a report on him/her so if the pickup isn’t ready when you get there, eventually you will be late for the delivery so they will be mad at you and there goes YOUR TIP...and you really have no one to be able to get ‘mad’ at.
