Should I also tip the delivery driver, and the person who made the product?

    It’s $7 more than other stores in my area. And the only grocery store I’ve ever heard of that asks for tips.

    FWIW, Walmart doesn’t have a fee for pickup orders and free shipping for orders over $35. They also don’t accept tips.

    As a consumer, fees upon fees upon tips just seems wrong. It discourages business, IMO.

      Walmart’s not going to be a good model, there, as while the chance of abuse being the cause might not be 100%, it hangs out near enough 100 to know more than a few intimate things about it.

      If you’re asking someone to collect your groceries, maybe pay them to do so. Tips are broken as a concept, so whatever there.

        It was an example. Other grocery stores have the same pricing structure, but I have less experience with them.

        If you’re asking someone to collect your groceries, maybe pay them to do so.

        I don’t get this. They already get paid to do this, just like a stock clerk or cashier.
