I don't know why people trip out about delivery charges, it's so cheap. You're paying for delivery whether there is a formal charge for it or not. At least they are up-front about it. Drivers get paid hourly plus an amount for each delivery, sometimes it's mileage based, sometimes its a flat rate. Some see this as a 'tip,' it's not. A tip is additional money to show gratitude, hence 'gratuity.'
If they didn't get money from the store, their costs would barely be covered by the pathetic $1-2 tips that so many people give and they'd LOSE money when they deliver to people who don't tip.
Overall, a delivery charge makes the most sense. Why should someone who picks up their order subsidize the cost of deliveries?
If you don't want to tip, or think that the delivery charge is a tip, get up off your butt and pick it up yourself.
