I don't understand this whatsoever.
In Germany when you order a pizza or whatever online you pay for the food + 2-3€ for the delivery and often the delivery fee is removed once you pass 15-20€ or so. It's common to tip the driver if they bring the food quick and hot, but you're not forced to tip (that's ridiculous).
There are the value added tax and (ostensibly) fees for the use of the online service but they're already included in the price of the meal which is a completely normal price you would pay in any fast food or regular restaurant - a typical pizza costs about 7€ and there's always offers for 'date' and family meals which cost 20-30€ including appetizers and soda.

Yet, the service providers still turn a great profit, even though businesses are taxed way harsher than in the US, and are expanding all the timne.
Therefore, all these fees and expenses are clearly complete and other made-up bullshit. My suspicion: In Germany (and most civilized countries) there are regulations stating that service providers are not allowed to charge fees that aren't connected to any real, tangible expenses in their business operations. Passing such laws would not bankrupt the companies nor hinder their growth and everybody, including the customers, can be happy. The notion that all economic activity is a duality of unhinged exploitation on the one and stalinist state planning on the other hand, is one of the stupidest aspects of American politics.

why does the IRA have such a comfy aesthetic?

Massachusetts/New England obviously.

I swear southern food is overrated as shit. The only southern food I've ever said "fuck I wish we made this" was biscuits and gravy.
