This is arguably true in a pre-pandemic world. Post-pandemic restaurants have far less choice, especially since delivery apps have an exploitative advantage over smaller shops that can’t create their own mobile phone apps. So the delivery companies jacked up their fees to take advantage of companies whose only alternative was no business whatsoever.
Saying it isn’t coercive is just Lochner-style dismissal of the facts on the ground.
- BurningFrog 6y agoHaving few choices is entirely different from being coerced. This is a common intellectual mistake, and source of much confusion. Also, note that the companies "taking advantage" of this are losing tons of money doing it.
