    I think you should definitely tip. I sure do it’s a service that they provide. He doesn’t matter if it’s their job or not they are using their own cars using their own gas driving to and from the store doing all your shopping for you so yeah, I think they deserve a tip.

    I was taught that you tip in the US for any service that is personalized to you, as opposed to a service that one person simultaneously gives to everyone. So, waitors get a tip, but a guy behind a cafeteria counter does not. Bell hops yes, front desk workers not so much. Delivery people, personal drivers like Uber, yes. Bus drivers, no. That sort of logic. As for amount, I was taught to stay at or above 15% of my order. That's a chunk of change for a $300 grocery haul, but I still do it because that haul also requires more of the delivery people. I also do it for a large restaurant order although that's closer to the line for me because there's less of a difference in driver effort between one and three bags of burgers lol.

    Always tip for delivery. It’s part of the deal, whether we like it or not. The employers should be paying a living wage so that we don’t have to have this surcharge but in the meantime I think you have to always tip for delivery

    In the United States, tipping is a byproduct of slavery. During reconstruction, many black workers did not earn wages, only tips. Gradually, it became normalized in service industries for everyone.
