If I'm on the Amazon delivery trucks route it's because I paid money to be when I bought something from them. If I buy something delivered from AutoZone, I've already paid for the delivery service as part of my purchase. I'm for paying higher prices, within reason, if it directly translates to higher base pay for employees. I am 100% against subsidizing cheap ass employers who short-change their workers and decide it's the customers job to make up the difference. And if the customer doesn't then the problem is the customer. Yeah, that's B.S. no question.
Tipping "culture" here is insulting and ridiculous. I see tip jars/cups absolutely everywhere now, in many places they have no business being. Tips are supposed to be gratitude for providing service above and beyond. A person simply doing their job isn't justification. In the US you don't even need a job anymore. Just stand by the stop light and ask for free money. In fact, you don't even have to ask. Just hold a sign and stare at people stuck at the red light until they fork over their cash.
Btw, I find it interesting how quick people are to tip a person delivering something they've already paid for, or for pouring a cup of coffee, or making food you paid to be prepared for you... Yet teachers, who play a far more important role in society, make shit wages and I don't see anyone rushing to tip them. I can say the same for the healthcare workers in long-term care facilities too, taking care of our most senior members people can't be bothered with. But I'm supposed to feel bad for the guy delivering an AutoZone order? Bad news, I don't.
Tipping is always optional. Do you tip Amazon drivers when they deliver items you ordered? I don't see any difference between that and AutoZone delivery.
I think its worse when the credit card processors ask you to choose a tip at fast food restaurants. You feel if you decline they will give less attention to your food.
The Amazon truck is probably in your area every day anyway so i understand not tipping since you are "on the route" so to speak. In my area however AutoZone deliveries are handled by third party like door dash, so someone is leaving their house and using their car to bring you your stuff.
If it is like that, I will throw them a couple of bucks because their pay is really shitty without tips in most cases.
Is it the fault of the business and third party company using these people, trying to pay them peanuts for doing these deliveries and wearing out their vehicles? Absolutely, but I don't see anything changing ever- it's a model as old as pizza delivery, so I just try to help them a bit.

I saw a news article[apnews.com] about this a couple days ago. When I see a tip jar at a fast food restaurant, I don't even want to go back there. The fact that the management allows employees to engage in panhandling while working tells me they must be too cheap to pay their employees a living wage.

I agree. That's like having the tip jar rattled in your face.

How we got on the issue of tipping, I have no idea, but it's not relevant to this deal. If you feel like talking more about it, please take it to The Lounge. Thanks!
The entitlement of you people is wild. If you don't like tipping culture that's fine but then don't use same day delivery which goes through services like door dash, take your broke ass to the store and pick it up or better yet don't support the business at all. You do all this whining and moaning but then still give the company your money. If you're really so against tipping culture you would vote with your wallet and not use the service at all. Good job sticking it to tipping culture by hurting the lowest person on the totem pole.
Entitlement? How the hell is it entitlement to buy something WITH delivery included and expect it to be delivered for the purchase price? That's the sale agreement and it's no different for companies that use DoorDash, which is why DD orders are always priced higher than non-DD.
Now, fighting for the lowest person on the totem pole is the lowest person on the totem poles job. It's up to them to petition for better pay, or seek better paying employment. It's not my responsibility to supplement their income with endless tax-free donations. Sorry, I mean "tips", for doing what they're already paid to do.
I do vote with my wallet, by not getting suckered into tipping everyone for everything, sending a message to companies that I'm not going to approve their behavior by subsidizing their low wages. It's your job to pay your workers, not mine. Workers need to take up their money problems with their employer and/or their life choices.
The entitled people are the ones who think they deserve tips simply for doing their job and the fools are the ones who feel obligated to do so no matter what because they've been programmed that way. I work hard for my money and I suggest everyone else do the same. Like I said, I don't mind tipping when a person goes above & beyond. Wanting free pity-payments doesn't cut it.
