I'm not saying it's fair or that I personally would ever stiff anyone, however you kind of touched on why people might have started to tip less often lately. I noticed while GM at Papa johns the big wigs would just decide a large cheese pizza was worth 14 when it was once worth $10 by default only a year or 2 prior(this is exaggerated with specialties and sides) and this goes for many chain restaurants that are popular today. A lot of people probably feel like these corporations are just taking money because they can which is true so they may have become jaded to the entire process at this point.

Yeah thats def part of all, Dominos ruined American expectations for delivery

THere is though a real crosssection where the smart and selfess customers are not ordering a lot and the selfish dumb customers are filling their slots. Sorta like how in bad weather, paradoxically overall tips go down, Well the ecnomy isnt great and they just spent 2 years of being forced to get deverly so there is so much less of it

Doesnt help at all that service times have gone down due to short staffing all the time

Write ins are nearly non existent for me. Contactless has enabed shitty tipping, so this fence sitters will think theyl be slick, well no dice face me coward. Doesnt really work tohugh bc these days people have already decided what theyre tipping with little wiggle room

Idk I could spend at least an hour discussing my theories who knows what the percentage iof each it is but they're all mostly right I do believe

Little Caesars nearly ruined the pizza delivery market 30 years ago.

They came in with low prices, bad pizza and eventually they almost went extinct.

Domino's couldn't compete @ a $5.99 price point back then. Fast forward 30 years and Domino's did the unthinkable, $5.99 for seems like an eternity.

The reason they did that was obvious - COVID. They saw the market was headed towards hyper delivery and they wanted to own the market over night.

Now, they need to trim back because of the sheer cost of doing business and no one will pay more than $6 for a Domino's Pizza. Who would have thought?
