In other countries those people are simply paid more. That’s why foreigners hate American tipping culture.
In foreign land: delivery person gets $10
In america: service pays delivery person $6. Client must device whether to give delivery person $3-$5.
Big uncertainty about which situations call for a tip, and which don’t, and how much.
In restaurants you can at least say “I pay to reward good service”. But with delivery, I am getting an undifferentiated bag of food at my door. Nothing differentiates service quality level. Deciding what amount to pay absent any interaction is confusing. And why is it based on a percentage of food?
Your argument is based in the assumption the worker has little pay. In america this is true, the worker gets little because tips are expected to make up for it.
In other countries, no tips are expected, so salary makes up for it.
