If these companies are doing this at scale, there may be a possibility of class-action lawsuits, or small-claims court cases with added damages. Willfully misrepresenting someone else's pricing surely falls afoul of the law somehow.

it’s unclear to me what delivery customers are being charged, and for me the companies tried to leverage the “look how much business we’re sending you” into signing contracts. i refused and they took the listings down. so i didn’t really get a chance to find out where the customers are getting angry...

to be clear, i don’t think i’ve ever had a problem with payment - the couriers generally just paid whatever amount we rang up and asked for a receipt. i assume that gets passed to the customer.

would if i could look into the legality of things. i’m usually so swamped with life and i’m such small fry i get left alone fairly easily.

They are just disrupting the food delivery industry /s
