Yep, unfortunately with the minimum wage mandate in CA pushing wages for pizza delivery drivers up to $20/hr led to over a thousand Pizza Hut drivers being laid off.

Unfortunately the existence of the (less-good) delivery options through DD and IC likely facilitated that decision.

but then you have states coming back around to place minimum wage on gig workers too, so the whole "we're laying them off so you can pay gig workers less" ends up completely pointless

so now you have delivery services paid at a similar wage anyway, but a whole third party organization that needs to extract its rent from the system
