They get a say because those companies were doing everything they can not to let the customer know about that disconnect. Many customers thought the restaurant had agreed to the service, and were holding the restaurant responsible for mistakes the delivery companies made.

I'm not quite willing to call it fraud yet, but it's in that area.

Great. So if you're happy with just a bit of disconnect, I'll get down the dump and pick up some old oil drums and fire up a kitchen in the garage. What do you fancy? KFC? Nandos?

No. If we can pretend to represent someone else without their concent, based on unverified 3rd party data, then we're cooking with tinned worms.

I can understand that aspect of it.
