As a former Pizza Hut/Papa John's/Marco's/Hungry Howie's driver, totally fine with this. Food delivery drivers are typically underpaid, especially considering how expensive cars are.

I kinda want to say that delivery services are charging what delivery should cost to compensate drivers fairly, but I don't know how much of the customer pays go to the drivers and how much the delivery service keeps. I wouldn't mind the upcharge on menu items if the driver got paid well.
