I would not feel guilty by providing employment to a delivery person.

Albert Long

Don’t personally use delivery services for my groceries or food but I wouldn’t feel guilty if I did. 

I mean, I get it but don’t they have a choice to work as a delivery person? And if all felt guilty enough not to use the service they wouldn’t have the job as an option anyway.

Joe Rigby

I wouldn't feel bad but knowing that the restaurant only gets a fraction of the final bill kinda makes me look for restaurants that directly deliver

Nope, they get paid for the work, and gets business to restraunts that might not have gotten as much business without.

Derrick McQuinn

Why not? Everyone has a gig--nobody forces someone into a field. This is not Communist China. No guilt!

Bob Rauch

What is guilt really?  Is it innate?  Is it learned?

Exactly, my wife does this some to make a little extra cash while her main job is on hold and actually really enjoys the grocery delivery part.

This is why most don't read any major newspapers anymore.

Yeah that part can suck, but on the other hand if it was not financially sounds I don't think they'd be doing it. From what I've seen some restraunts will come on for a short while to see if it works and if it doesn't they leave.
