The difference being the time you don't see the delivery driver as he is taking care of your needs; he is spending gas and wear on his vehicle to provide you that service?
I get your point, you see it as if a restaurant added a 15% service fee, then also wanted you to tip the waitress as well. However as I've mentioned before you have always paid the delivery charge, but now places are working it out of the price instead of making carry-out customers also pay into it.
I can't tell you the number of times when I worked in the pizza business that people would call in and ask for a discount on pickup; justifying it that it cost me money to deliver the pizza. The market asked for it to be seperate; and now it is.
