[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started using grocery delivery about five years ago and have always been conflicted about the proper tip amount.

I usually order about $250 worth of groceries at a time and I normally tip about $10-15 if the service is competent (person is polite and delivers the food up one flight of stairs to my apartment).  I will tip more if I order significantly more food.  I tip in cash, as I am always suspicious that the "tip" amount put in the online ordering system might not make it to the actual person who delivers my food.

Is this a normal and/or appropriate amount?  I have no idea.  It would be low by restaurant standards, but, if the driver is able to make two deliveries per hour, $20-30/hour seems like a substantial amount to be making in tips, assuming that others tip the same or similar amounts.  I would feel uncomfortable not tipping, though, since the practice is common for restaurant food delivery (a similar service).[/quote]

Someone will be along shortly to yell at you for not tipping $50.  :lol: [/quote]
