Given the pandemic, I’ve been giving a 20% tip. I know, I know, but everything was shut down and I try to do what I can to help them out.

I don't tip for curbside pickup, but I suppose it would be the same as whatever you tip the person who helps you carry out your groceries when you're in the store? For me, that's nothing as well.

If you want to tip, 10% seems reasonable, imo.

Wal-Mart policies prohibit employees from accepting tips, for whatever that's worth.

The restaurants do not prohibit tips. The servers have had limited hours for months. They are taking orders , packaging the food and delivering it to your car. $ 55 order for 2 people give them $10 they need the income.

Same here.....20%, I hope they share tips with the staff. Paying it forward is not a bad thing.

Really? The Walmart employees delivering groceries to my car have never refused a tip. I don't know if the "shopper" is the same one who delivers the groceries, I doubt it, but I appreciate their hard work, anyway.

I’m curious. When did it become necessary to tip someone for doing their job? I’ve been a server in restaurants. In most if not all cases servers are paid less than minimum wage with the expectation that tips would raise their income to minimum wage. So I understand the concept of tipping. (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.

The day we got our stimulizer checks we picked up our groceries at Walmart and left a fresh new Benjamin under a heavy item in the trunk with a note asking them to give a thumbs up if they took it or to just yell no if they didn't want to take it. It was hot, raining to beat the band and just miserable out. The kid looked like a wet rat. We got the thumbs up and a nice thank you and the feeling about doing something for a person who is literally killing themselves for us was amazing. We used up our entire checks on others except for one trip to Wawa for a Meataball Sangwich and a Culver's trip for a Concrete Mixer.

Maybe you know my husband he posts on here all the time. Take Care Now! Don't forget to not use any first or last names. I think I like this posting stuff.

Tipping under these circumstances is just the correct thing to do. These people have families and expenses. Helping them is a pleasure. If you're like the guy in the wheelchair in It's A Wonderful Life then NOTHING is going to change you.

How much should you tip the McDonald's drive-in window person? Get my point?

I tip 10-20%. I worked those entry level positions when I was putting myself through college. I earned every dime, and deeply appreciated the generosity of others who tipped me.
Now, in life, I can afford to be THAT person. I’ve been blessed...
BTW...I’ve done Walmart pickup for a year and a half. They always refused tips.

And what about those tip jars in convenience stores? Why does the cashier deserve a tip for taking your money?

By all means tip the servers but tipping has gotten out of hand.

They do everything a waitress does, take your order, pack your food and deliver it to you so I believe a tip is in order.

I have been doing 20% because of the pandemic and did 10% before for take out.
