Local officials have said that delivery workers receive approximately $11 hourly after tips, given their out-of-pocket expenses – which is $4 less than New York City’s minimum wage of $15

That wage is insulting, both to the workers and the city. Kick the business’ out of town - someone other will fill the vacuum and do it better.
