Should You Tip Your Grocery Delivery Driver?
Etiquette expert Jo Hayes says that first, you must consider location.
Tipping is a common part of American culture, unlike in countries like Australia or Japan.
Hayes says American service workers typically have lower wages, so they’re likely more reliant on tips.
She also notes that not all delivery services divide the work the same way.
Its a big job," Hayes says.
She says that this person most likely does everything on their own.
“Remember, we tip to show our appreciation for a job done well.
Let us remember in life we all reap what we sow.
Some call this karma or manifestation.
I call it the rewards of being a decent human.”
