(Actually from what I have read tipping seems to have come about in the US when hotels employed Newley freed slaves but did not pay them any wage and told them that tips were their only income, but I digress.) So, if someone is being paid a fair wage at or above minimum wage why do you feel compelled to tip them? Did they do something above and beyond? Are they making less than minimum wage and I am not aware? Or do you simply have more money than me, or more than you need ? As I said, I’m curious.

Well first of all those delivering your items curbside greatly reduced your chances of getting infected keeping you from paying the ultimate price from contracting COVID. Consider that aspect of the service provided. If it's still not worth tipping in your mind, maybe you should do your own shopping or go inside to pick up your to go order. Curbside service is not something business are required to offer but do to survive and to keep employee working. And do you tip your barber or hairdresser? Aren't they just doing their job too?
