County lawyers say the food delivery company has flouted state laws barring false advertising in promoting meals for less than the amount customers pay.
The price of the turkey on rye half-sandwich from Langer's Delicatessen-Restaurant in Los Angeles, purchased through the delivery app Grubhub, starts around $17. But at checkout, the costs mount. With additional fees and sales tax, the cost of a sandwich delivery can hit over $26.00. Plus tip. L.A. County says it amounts to an illegal “bait-and-switch.
” The attorney general’s office has said that once the law goes into effect, delivery apps cannot tack on miscellaneous fees at the end of the transaction. The county's lawsuit argues the status quo hurts not only Grubhub’s customers, but also the drivers and restaurants who serve them.
