I used the safeway equivalent of instacart once when I was sick. I tried to google tipping rates and their website explicitly said not to tip. So sometimes the BS comes from your employer.

My kid works for a major chain restaurant and delivers food on a bike. My kid says lots of people don't tip.

I don’t get why people work as Uber drivers, DoorDash etc. I live close-in, in a dense neighborhood & don’t own a car. I would have to buy a car to be an Uber driver for example. I wouldn’t even begin to break even

I’ll set my own hours and know never to deliver to cheapskates like you!

Did a $454 two cart order for Instacart on Wednesday and zero tip!

We have a local forum list of non tippers where we no to not take or decline the order.

GOOD!

There’s a catch though for people if they pay with WIC or EBT for example they cannot tip with that card on file. Cash is also rare for some to have on hand.

About $15 but I’ve also filled my car up three times in a week.

I’m new to Dashing and just learning the busiest areas as well as the easiest to get in and out of due to a massive multi year long project.

Maybe I should delete this and do an AMA.

People are horrid. Selfish.

Been earning some extra gelt as a shopper and food Dasher.

You wouldn’t believe the number of people who don’t tip ever for this SERVICE.

I could go on and on about not leaving lights on in the dark and not having a properly marked address either on the house, curb or mailbox. Not only does it make your food late, it also could be life threatening!
