Ordered 9 cases of water, a pile of groceries, drinks, detergent, and who knows what else... all going to a 4th floor apartment with no elevator. 😭🛒 Then came the part that really got me: the tip was $0.00. Not a dollar. Not a couple bucks. Zero. At that point it's not even a grocery delivery anymore, it's a stair-climbing competition with extra weight attached. 😅 Nine cases of water alone is a workout, and that's before carrying all the bags, boxes, and other heavy items up four flights of stairs. I know tipping is technically optional, but when someone orders what feels like half the store and expects a driver to haul it all the way to their door for nothing extra, it's hard not to feel a little defeated. Drivers are using their own vehicles, paying for their own gas, and doing all the lifting themselves. Orders like this take serious time and effort.
Would you take an order like this with no tip? If you lived on the 4th floor and ordered 9 cases of water, how much would you tip? Do you think the delivery fee should cover all that work, or should heavy upstairs orders be treated differently? 🤔
