I'll never "win" this discussion and truly am sorry I ever brought it up. Lesson learned again. The only reason I did was to illustrate that I would rather hand out any money instead of joining another company to do so in my behalf. I surrender. A Benjamin isn't $20.
Pretty sure the instacart folks accept tips. If you are getting delivery service, by all means tip the delivery person!

Just don't try and slip a store employee a bill of any kind in the store or parking lot. They watch, and they see, and people DO get fired for it.

Edited to add: I worked for Stop & Shop years ago too so I totally get the other end of the spectrum. A bunch of corporate ogres with a barbaric union that sucked the money from its members for very little benefit in return. After dues, I earned LESS than minimum wage. But, Stop & Shop didn't have any kind of no-tipping policy. Publix does and their ******* (the word is b.a.g.g.e.r.s. for crying out loud) even have pins they wear on their vests that instruct customers to NOT tip them.
