Peapod Delivery Guy Wants a Tip

[Anonymous]

The problem is that customers make Peapod drivers their own personal slaves. "Put the 20 packs of bottled water here" "Separate my perishables from non-perishables" "Bring my groceries up these flights of steps" and so on.

It's not just the stiffing that upsets the drivers, it's the nasty, demanding attitude that some customers give to the drivers to add insult to injury. If you have the audacity to make such demands and not tip anything as you bark such demands in your multimillion dollar house, I'm sorry, but you're a scrooge.

Old thread. What gives? Are you a disgruntled driver?

You can add it on the paper you sign.

And yeah, you don't have to tip if you don't want to.

I live on the second floor.I have been battling cancer & my husband has had a triple bypass. I don't have a lot of money but I am more than happy to tip at least $10 for a $100 (average order)!!

I have the distinct impression that most of these messages are left by PeaPod drivers.

This tipping culture is getting out of hand. No one tips me for doing my job!!!

I don’t tip ups. I don’t tip usps. I don’t tip fedex. Why is grocery delivery worthy of a tip?

This thread dates back to 2012 !!! Let it go people.

I’be used Peapod since about 2010 or so, and i’ve Always tipped! Just gave a 5-20$ bill to the driver as I signed my receipt or added to order for unattended delivery depending on my order and time of year (more for larger orders and around holidays). So it’s not new, it’s his way of telling you to tip.

That's ridiculous. That's like how Uber started rolling out tips a couple years ago so they could start paying drivers less. This is so Giant can pay delivery people less. Ridiculous.

I don't tip my amazon delivery driver because sometimes a different person shops for the food than delivers it. I'm not tipping someone for bringing four bags from the trunk of their car to my porch.

Those who do not tip are generally foreigners. They were not raised in the US in a tipping culture.

So with the whole virus pandemic, if i use peapod at Giant for pickup (because they have no delivery times open) then how do I tip them because it is a contactless pickup where they put the groceries on the ground and then leave. I cant put a tip on the site itself. I want to tip but how am i able to with the situation?

Why the F#CK would you rehash a zombie thread from 2012 just to ask that question?

Stop being so lazy and create a new post!

I'm from here but have lived in Australia and Germany - where tipping is not expected - and is much lower than ours when given. If a server is good, they should just be paid a decent wage. The price should just be the price. As an engineer, I don't get tips from our customers if I perform well, I just get repeat customers. I think tipping is a stupid, annoying idea. We don't tip fast food workers (I don't), so why do we need to tip a delivery driver? Personally, I'd rather be a delivery driver than a fast food worker. If we are concerned about these people making enough money to survive, then we should be more interested in raising the minimum wage - not tipping for every stupid thing.

I tip, but agree with this. Just pay everyone a living wage.

I tip but can't stand the evolution to having to tip everyone. I don't use this service so it doesn't affect me. But, I hate the tip jars everywhere and the expectation we have to tip everyone for everything. You're already being paid.
