Re: Tipping for Grocery Delivery...

I would say it depends on how much you order, and how far he has to bring in your groceries from the truck.

It depends on how much the order is & how carrying is involved.

I tipped $5 last time.

I usually do $3. They only plop it inside my front door.

Just so that you know they are not SUPPOSED to accept tips. My sister works for the parent company and the drivers are apparently paid more than the industry standard and are told that they are NEVER to accept tips.

That said.. I usually give $5 and only once has the guy declined by letting me know that he wasn't supposed to accept tips. He was so nice about it that I put 10 in his truck when he was chatting with my husband.

Really? I always tip $5.

ETA: I just checked the peapod website and it said this abut tipping

Tipping is Optional It is not expected but always appreciated

Maybe your sister works for a different company.

Nope. She works as a trainer for Stop & Shop. I guess the policy has changed since the service began. Maybe that's why only one guy declined my tip!
