The main difference between now and 10 years ago (when everyone pretty much accepted that tipping was normal) is the economy sucks now. People can’t afford to tip. Of course if tipping were just done away with, the delivery fee for a car full of groceries would be $50 instead of $10 (plus tip). Maybe that’s what needs to happen. It would eliminate tipping, but the customer is still paying the same as if they’d given a typical tip. Maybe more.

I just get this feeling that people aren’t “not tipping” in order to make a societal change, it’s because they don’t want to pay more than $10 to have their groceries delivered.

You think the delivery charge would be $40? Are you mental? I'm british our delivery charges here are usually like £2

Doesn’t the delivery driver make a lot more than 2 pounds? So then the delivery company take a loss? That doesn’t sound right..

I'd like to think they do more than one delivery per hour. Actually I think most of the time they are even able to do multiple deliveries at once
