I’ll pay whatever the market will bear. If someone will clean for $8/hour, that’s their prerogative.
this is so bad, it's reminds me of like indentured servitude. $8?? I'm not sure that covers gas to get there. You are rotten

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.
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.
I'm sorry but people on welfare should not be wasting it on a luxury service - I would hope it is banned entirely
Or maybe they should have delivery fees waived.
No need to punish people because they are struggling financially.
Why would grocery stores, which are in the private sector, do that? Why would apps like UberEats do that? They aren’t charities. They have zero incentive to.
Could be subsidized by govt.
I hope not. The SNAP benefit is already too high—it should be lower with the rest of the current amount going toward housing programs.
Too high?
You sound clueless. Go buy groceries for a family of four for a year and let us know how that goes.![]()

You mean when a family of 4 gets $939/month in SNAP benefits?
Yeah. That is a very “thrifty” amount for a family of four.
No need to punish people who are struggling.
No it isn’t. We have a record labor shortage and people want $12,000/year in free food.

These are the people who accept no tip.
1. Prices have gone up for everyone, not just non-tippers. Restaurants are trying to stay afloat.
2. Nobody shifty has come to house.
3. How hard is dropping off food? When someone messes up an order or gives me a wrong order, I eat the food they delivered and still get a full refund.
4. OP is the one complaining about not becoming a millionaire from DoorDash. Talk to them.
What else ya got?
They can choose to pay their counter staff well and lose some business or to make them reliant on tips and keep that business. Every place around here has chosen to the latter
