I know of VERY few delivery places that have actually raised their driver wages. all of the large corp chains pay their drivers sub-minimum wage now (see above) and most have actually FROZEN driver wages at that level. the driver is also given a small per run sum to "cover" the drivers expenses such as gas, repairs, maintenance, insurance, depreciation, wear and tear, etc (actually only really barely covers gas money).
The delivery charge is not to discourage people from having delivery it is a convient way to NOT raise prices on the stuff they sell as the price for the basic ingrediants rises over time. plus it may offset some of the costs assiciated with delivery such as a blanket non-owned vehicle insurance policy (which tend to be expensive these days. why I do not know).
