On certain items, Sam’s Club requires a $8-$12 delivery fee. This is problematic enough given some items are free delivery.

At the end of the order process, I’m then asked to tip the driver. It seems to me that Sam’s Club could put together a big enough delivery route to be able to pay a driver well and maintain the delivery van at that delivery fee per each stop.

I feel over-charged paying tip on top of that. However, I never dick over delivery drivers. Is Sam’s Club paying them? How much? What is that delivery fee going towards?

So I end up tipping.

More frequently, I just avoid ordering items with a delivery fee. (Not a good option for people stuck at home for good reasons like age, disability, lack of transportation, etc.)

Oddly, customers are not asked to tip on the free delivery items.

    Yeah, will be great when we move past gun culture too, but neither of those things will happen in the next two generations. These kinds of things are actively getting worse not better and are so deeply rooted there is no way we are just going to “move past them”

        If you take a contract out on yourself, then I disagree – the shooter should be pre-tipped.

      For some of us at least, the solution was just… to move on to another country. If there had been problems with guns and socioeconomic divide in Canada, I would have exited even earlier! (I actually left for the fairly boring reason of career progression)

      Although spoiler alert: immigration is difficult, miserable, and a pretty massive commitment overall.
