This feels like a weird whistleblow without explicitly naming the company, no? What's the point of being coy?

    It's a bit incoherent with both "won't tell you which one, it's a secret confession" and "I'm a developer who handed in notice yesterday". Also, I tried to find anything listing those 2 fees and nothing seems to come up. I'm suspicious about this being real. (I mean this specific case - we do have the proof of similar bad behaviours already)

    (My understanding was) the OPs implication is that every delivery company is doing this and there are no actors not exploiting this.

  Why is any of this legal? This is pretty clearly fraud.
