> Tipped generously. You shouldn't tip delivery drivers, it's literally their job.

  While I would love to agree with you, in America restaurants of all sizes (and personal transportation companies) seemingly often rely on tips from customers to supplement the wages of their workers instead of just paying them fairly.

    Yeah so you shouldn't help them do that if you disagree with the practice

      It's a collective action problem: it can't be solved by individuals like this. All you'll achieve is complicity in wage theft. A viable approach might be to prefer doing business with companies who promise their workers a good wage, but this requires that your local businesses actually make that commitment. To get that, you'll have to go outside the abstraction of the market, and actually talk to decisionmakers within the businesses. (This is sometimes called "activism".)

        No, I disagree that other peoples ethical failures spread to you if you don't participate in the ethical failure. If you disagree on ethical grounds with something, just don't do it. To the extent that you could simply not frequent those places.

  Have fun when no one wants to deliver food to you.

    The army of faceless delivery gig workers can’t exactly pick and choose. They deliver the food or they get banned from the platform and replaced by the next guy.

      >replaced by the next guy. There is a loser born every minute. (The loser has no choice in been born, though)

    Do you also tip Amazon drivers? If not, then I don't see why food should be different.

      Because they don't have a car full of 100 people's meals like Amazon drivers do with deliveries? You're ordering a personal taxi for your burrito.
