[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just so you know...all you people tipping are enabling the problem of low wages. Sorry to burst your bubble but the only reason low wage jobs can stay low wage jobs is that people keep buying into the myth that it's their responsibility to make up for what the workers aren't being paid in the first place. The only way to make people earn honest wages is to stop tipping because as long as people make enough money through tips they will not ever fight for making enough money through fair wages. It's just the easy way put but it's not the solution to the problem.

If it says "delivery to your doorstep" and they deliver to your doorstep - don't tip.
If it says "delivery to your doorstep" and you ask them to bring it into your kitchen and they do - tip for the extra service.

Don't tip for services you pay for with the initial charge. Tipping is for exceptional service and if you truly want fair wages you should stick to that.[/quote]

Are you referring to just Peapod or any delivery service that tipping is the norm?[/quote]

I am referring to everything actually. Any kind of service imaginable. [/quote]

That is just plain stupid.  So, you don't believe in tipping at restaurants either when you know they are not paid min. wage?[/quote]

I tip for exceptional service. So yes, usually I don't tip at restaurants. And it's not stupid. It's sad that that's what people in the US commonly think these days because it means that the industry is actually succeeding in putting THEIR responsibilities on the customers. Tipping is optional, not mandatory.
If you actually read up on what I wrote before you would realize it's the truth. There is no secondary truth with tipping unlike many other subjects. Tipping people to make up for low wages is the worst thing anyone can do who actually wants the problem to be solved. And yes I have worked in the service industry so I do know how it can be. Still I am not content with band aids.[/quote]

You would be one of those people that would find their receipt online for a cheap person. [/quote]
