Should I also tip the delivery driver, and the person who made the product?
I don't think $7 is a particularly hefty fee. If it's a grocery store they typically aren't paying employees to do shop for you, it's an extra service for an extra charge. I think I pay $10 per order from my local grocery.
It's $7 more than other stores in my area. And the only grocery store I've ever heard of that asks for tips.
FWIW, Walmart doesn't have a fee for pickup orders and free shipping for orders over $35. They also don't accept tips.
As a consumer, fees upon fees upon tips just seems wrong. It discourages business, IMO.
Walmart's not going to be a good model, there, as while the chance of abuse being the cause might not be 100%, it hangs out near enough 100 to know more than a few intimate things about it.
If you're asking someone to collect your groceries, maybe pay them to do so. Tips are broken as a concept, so whatever there.
It was an example. Other grocery stores have the same pricing structure, but I have less experience with them.
I don't get this. They already get paid to do this, just like a stock clerk or cashier.
The employees are paid hourly to be at work and do what they're told, basically. It's not like asking an employee to pick groceries for an order costs the company extra. The employee is already being paid to be there whether or not they pick your order.
The fee is being charged because they know you will pay it, not because it's an extra cost.
I think they’ve generally started hiring people to only handle online orders, or that’s how it appears at my local stores.
To play devil's advocate:
If they are hiring specifically for picking online orders, they would lose money by not having as many online orders, right?
Well, adding these extra fees is a surefire way to stop or slow people from ordering anything.
Psychologically, someone would be more willing to pay for an item that's $15 with free shipping, than one that's $10 + $5 shipping.
i don't know about this place but i know with a lot of other delivery options the "fee" does not go to the employees, it's just extra money because they can
