I'm completely flabbergasted.

Minimum wage is minimum wage, is tipping them a couple bucks really going to hurt the balance?

Delivery people kind of deserve them, if you could have gone to the place yourself and picked up the food you ordered but instead decided to be lazy and opt for delivery, the least you can do is tip the person for allowing you the comfort of being lazy and not having to get dressed.

That's simply why I won't order delivery, all other countries tips are not expected.

I wasn't talking about wait staff, I know they make below minimum. I was talking about the people behind the counter making sandwiches at places like Jimmy Johns or Subway, they make minimum wage.

Oh, I typically don't tip them as I also make minimum and can't accept the tips I'm given, it's not a vendetta, more if I can't give them I can't pay them forward due to lack of funds, hence why I'm eating fast food.
