Come to think of it, it was so bad one time she called to cancel the tip, because she couldn't remove it herself.
When that is said, tipping has gone haywire these days, at times on top of an extra fee labeled as say operational fee or inflation adjustment. And of course taxes.
Are tip requests getting out of hand? Many consumers say yes.

'It makes you feel bad': People are getting sick of being asked for tips everywhere they go

I'm told they use services like Instacart and Doordash for local deliveries instead of their own employees like Amazon does, and those company drivers depend on tips. I understand they depend on tips and that's why for stuff that is done throughI delveriy service, that I avoid Walmart and use Amazon. I'm not home to tip the driver anyway and they leave the stuff in the package room and if I'm going to be tipping on top of a delivery fee, I may as well just pick it up at the store.
Also not sure if they rate customers like Uber does and if drivers will end up refusing to get my deliveries for not tipping either. I know someone that drives for Uber and he said if passengers don't tip, a lot of drivers will rate them one star and a lot of drivers won't pick up a low rated driver since it probvably means no tip.
