Grocery delivery tipping
OK, so I’ve never done grocery delivery, I just prefer to shop for myself. My elderly parents are at the point where grocery delivery is one of the ways to help keep them living independently. My mom emails me her grocery list and I place the order for her as they live 3 hours away, so going shopping for them is not practical.
My question is what do you all consider a normal tip percentage? I honestly have no idea as I’m guessing they are paid a regular wage unlike restaurant waitstaff, but I could be wrong about that. |

We've been using the delivery from walmart for while. Delivery is free if you are a member at a few bucks per month. Kinda like Amazon Prime.
We tip online when we place the order and I usually throw the delivery person a little green. |

Us as well, a little extra goes a long way with getting your goods on the porch properly.

On a related note, I found out last week I can get glucose monitor batteries delivered by Uber eats, as her monitor died and she had no spares. It’s only been 3 months of adapting to not driving, so some of these things just take time. |

Pretty sure I've read that walmart policy won't allow their curbside people to be tipped, and they can be fired for accepting. |

Aldi goes through instacart, Kroger seems to be Kroger themselves. Either way, both allow tipping as a part of the order.

My third party rule, however, did not include Drizly. It's not legal here in CO (jackwads), but in CA, getting a delivery from BevMo at 2130 after already having been drinking was the bomb. |

The delivery people are not part of a service company. They are local folks. Usually some tattoo'd up single mom with purple hair in a clapped out SUV.

My thoughts too, which is just one of the reasons I don't use the service, but for my elderly parents it is a game changer.

I was being a little sarcastic. The delivery folks are for the most very good and respectful. Purple hair and all.

My wife has done the pickup deal where they shop for you and you drive up and they put it in the car.
Every time, the fresh produce has been shitty... She has to be pretty busy to order online at this point. |
