Given today's gas prices, I'd rather pay the delivery charge than waste the gas (and my time) to go pick up food. Unfortunately not all the places I order from offer delivery.
I've never been as bent out of shape on a tip or delivery line item to cancel an order like It'sHip did. Life's too short. BTW - my guess is more people are ok w/ the charges than not, so I don't think It'sHip's not finishing the online order "taught them"
Cheers.
thanks for saying very astutely what I would have said with a clearer head.
