Do delivery persons have a harder job?

They're putting themselves at greater risk
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Got Shipt groceries from Target, tipped more than usual. Delivery people don't get paid much to begin with, and now they have to weigh the added risks vs low rewards. I'd like to encourage them to continue to allow me to keep my family as safe as possible.

I made sure to tip the gas attendant. I sometimes do and sometimes don’t. He was very appreciative.

So tip all employees working now. Tip your cashier, tip your mailman, tip your mechanic, tip your wine store.
I'm not who you think I am.

Do they actually get the tip?
Or are you tipping cash?

I sure hope they are getting it. I had them leave the order at the door.
Next time I will just put in an envelope for them. Thanks for reminding me. Can't trust companies. I know DD drivers didn't get it. That they said has been changed.

Envelope at the door is definitely the way to go if you're looking to maximize what they get. There are complicated formulas with these apps and tipping.

I always tipped DD in cash.
Some day we will have to compare how many DD credits we earned.  ;)

It says clearly on Uber eats that 100% of the tip goes to the driver. You can see it on the information icon near the tip for driver. Obviously it can be minus the processing fees but that’s standard.

Doordash said that too, when it didn't.

My cleaning lady finally came back to work after missing  month.  She'd been sick and so had I, so I decided is was safe enough to have her.
I gave her 2 weeks extra pay as 'sick leave'. (But I think I forgot to give her this year's New Year's gift.)

A nicer gift would be a life insurance policy for both of you
