    Yes we did. There was a delivery fee when I started delivering pizzas and Chinese food in the 1990s. I don’t know what it was for, since we, the drivers, didn’t get the entire fee. IIRC when I started the fee was either $1 or $1.50. Us drivers got $0.75 of that fee.

      Hmm, I don’t ever remember having to pay delivery fees back in the late 90s. I recall most places making a big point about “free delivery” in the advertising.

        I started delivering in '96, when I went to college. All the big chains had fees by then, maybe some local places were holding out on free delivery, but even the mom and pop Chinese places had a delivery fee, they did actually give the whole thing to the driver though since we were paid under the table.
