[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there definite evidence that Peapod charges more for an item than in the store (excluding the delivery charge of course).  I often wondered this, but just assumed they wouldn't dared do that.

I started using them and definitely saw that SOME items were more expensive than others.  i.e. The muffins I buy are $4.79 in store and $5 something at Peapod.  I also had to go to the store for Powerade (sick child) and it was $0.88 on sale.  I went home and checked and it was $1 on Peapod.  My bagels are $3.99 in store and $4 something on Peapod.  So, yes, some of the items are more expensive.  I try to be cautious about the higher priced items.

As for tipping the driver, I'm actually against tipping him.  The first time my husband did and I told him not to next time.  I treat him like a UPS or FedEx guy.  I am sick and tired of tipping for every last thing.  Companies need to pay their employees and quit passing that off to the customer.  I pay for a service and pay a premium on some of the items being delivered.  Why should I also be expected to tip?  Do I also need to tip the personal shopper who collects my order?[/quote]
