Don’t have that problem directly, only on items being delivered, and then of course it is added as a delivery chg, and into the price of almost everything we buy.

we do all our own driving…pick up and deliveries. Its family owned and operated and we use our own vehicles. We live in Jersey and gas is $3.76 per gallon today

Depending on the distance from our facility, we charge the customer an additional fee and reimburse the drivers accordingly

the companies have added a “fuel surcharge” to every iinvoice so I have neither control nor choice about the issue!

I belive its a losing batle and gettin into the delivery game is not a good move. Seems liek more restarants are making curbside pick easier and this should be considered as a better choise.
