what to tip grocery delivery

When it comes to tipping for grocery delivery, the general rule of thumb is to tip at least 10% of your shopping bill or $5, whichever is higher. However, if you have a larger order, if the driver is driving in dangerous conditions, or if they have to climb a lot of stairs to deliver your food, its recommended to tip higher. Some grocery delivery services allow you to tip a precalculated amount, usually between 5-25% . If the service was exceptional or poor, you can adjust your tip after delivery online or by calling customer service. You can also tip using cash, but keep in mind that your delivery driver won’t necessarily know you’re planning on tipping them unless you leave a note online, so they might not be as motivated to get your order to you quickly. Proper tipping manners haven’t been established yet since grocery delivery is a relatively new thing, but a 10% tip or a couple of dollars is a general rate for the person who delivered your grocery items and favorite snacks to your doorstep. However, many grocery stores don’t allow delivery people to accept tips.
