9. Maybe
I don't know, this just got me going. Lately, with discussion on DU about minimum wage, and how companies are cutting costs and cutting quality simply to inflate their "earnings," that just sort of pissed me off. Why charge a delivery fee, under the impression that it is due to high gas prices and the need to reimburse the drivers, if you don't even pay for their gas?

I just hate stuff like that so much. Everyday, you hear some juggernaut of a company pulling crap like this to make even more money than they already are making. It isn't like every employee around gets $20 bucks added to their check every week to make up for the high gasoline prices. But I suppose it's ok for a huge company to raise prices under the guise of helping its workers, just to add more money in the coffers. What a crock. The free market, ain't it great? :sarcasm:
