Remember Tony Xu stole tips directly from his poverty wage delivery workers.

I can’t think of a lower piece of garbage in this world. And when dealing with someone that low they will stop at nothing to get their way.

I hope the courts humble Xu someday because the lesson he teaches the valley is to just steal and rob the weakest and call yourself a genius.

This may be controversial but the cost it would require for a restaurant to replicate what DoorDash/Grubhub provide is less than the fee they are charged by these companies.

Advocating to cap the fee they are charged for a service is restaurants having their cake and eating it too.

Overall, DoorDash/Grubhub have been a net positive for these businesses.

To hire a manage a delivery driver workforce, staff enough drivers to ensure reasonable service levels, manage an online ecommerce storefront, and market their business is very expensive.

If the fee is too high, they can just turn off the service. There’s a reason why they don’t simply turn it off. The value is reciprocated.
