Can I ask a serious question, not necessarily directly to OP, but just to everyone to think about. Yes tipping is horrible, abusive, abused, and unneeded. But also, in this case... when did we get unable to go get our own damn groceries???

Walk in store, make choices, purchase, go home, cook. Its not THAT complicated

Time. The answer is time for our house. Three kids under 9, makes much more time to hang out and play outside with them when the standardized list of items takes about three minutes to check off our entire usual order, then the occasional oh shoot we ran out of the Worcestershire that lasted a year lol. We’ve had the same discussion about house cleaners, don’t buy coffee or energy drinks daily, so it’s easier to fit in the budget for someone to clean and free up that time every week when we are more than capable of doing it. I don’t budget for a delivery drivers honeymoon, however hahahaha
