Do you tip 20% on grocery delivery, even when your groceries are $300+?

They are paid a salary. Why are you tipping at all?!

To carry them from their car to your front door? Why do much?

No, I don’t tip an automatic 20%. $300 at the grocery store isn’t even that much anymore.

Their job is to deliver to you and this means bringing into house! Do you crazy people also top Fed Ex and USPS drivers?

Those functions are not done by the guy who delivers. The driver, however, gets to keep all the tip

You positive?

I do the default $10 but up to $15 if I ordered heavy liquid items. Easy house delivery with no stairs and flat walk.

I tip $40-$50 on every WF delivery.

That’s more than double a substitute teacher’s hourly pay.

Maybe they should deliver my groceries. I started that in pandemic, since it was putting them in harms way. I usually do $40 now, and don’t do it every week.

+1. I tip $10 at most, sometimes $5. The delivery is the easiest part of the job. The pickers are the one doing the work.

That amount made sense in the first year of the pandemic for that reason.

Subs now face much higher odds of contracting something in the classroom than they would delivering groceries. And seems like the overall pay might be lower. No wonder we have a shortage.

Gosh no! We do 7%.

I tip $20 on grocery delivery. It is going to the driver, not the shoppers.

I tipped more in the peak of COVID but that stuff should be normalizing now.

I also almost always spend more than $300 a week (family of 5, kids 6/5/2). I buy high quality protein and I buy easy lunch snack pack stuff, both of which are more expensive. And these days EVERYTHING is more expensive and I have crossed $400 not infrequently.

We don't eat out or order out much and I don't like making beans/rice/casseroles. I spend more on food than almost anything else but I don't regret it.

Not necessarily true. Door-dash drivers do "shop and deliver" . Grub hub drivers also "shop and deliver"

Per my observation at Whole foods, this is 100 percent correct. The folks here tipping 20% to the delivery guy are being duped by themselves. The delivery person only picks up the bags that were packed in the store, and drives it to your house. You can see it for yourself, they drive the blue amazon vans. At whole foods, they open the back and fill it up with many many brown bags and then take off.

This is why I love my Harris Teeter pickup. Zero fees and no tipping. I tried to tip once when it was an absolute downpour and the guy wouldn't accept it.

That is Instacart. Go ahead and tip 20%, that's fine because they did everything. WF is a different story.
