  That's an appeal to emotion, not a rational argument. Restaurant owners should know the maximum fee that the delivery apps are charging (since they are signing the contract) and adjust prices accordingly. If they are "an elderly Thai couple" (because as we know old people and Thais are idiots) that has managed to reach old age without bankrupting their restaurant, surely they can calculate the impact of the fees of the contracts that they sign on their business.

    How about this then? Many restaurant owners, including the ones I mentioned, are unaware of the existence of these unofficial ordering channels (websites, phone numbers). They claim that they did not sign up for any of this. My wife recently was tricked into calling one of these fake numbers on a fake, but official-looking restaurant website. The person on the other end pretended to be the restaurant that we wanted to order from. But my wife grew suspicious when the person knew nothing about the menu. You keep talking about contracts. But simply saying that 'you signed a contract' does not make it true.

      Are you saying that these restaurants are selling food at 30% discount without even knowing what they are doing? That makes absolutely no sense.

    To deny the impact of emotional circumstance on decisionmaking is itself highly irrational.
