1st online shop. How much to tip?

[Isausernameavailable]

Hi, just that really. I've never had a supermarket delivery before but at home with Covid so its a godsend.
How much do you tip the driver? The only similar deliveries i get are takeaways where i tip around £3, but my shop is a lot more so would i look tight?

I'd never consider tipping a supermarket delivery driver. Do you tip your postman?

Erm, none?

I’ve never tipped either a takeaway or a supermarket delivery driver

Are you using the supermarkets online service or something like Uber eats to get it delivered?

If it is directly through the supermarket, a lot of drivers won't accept it/have rules about accepting it. So I don't tip them. If its uber eats or something then give what you usually would through the app.

I don’t tip the supermarket delivery drivers.

All supermarket delivery drivers I know gladly accept tips which range from £2 to £10 on/off all year.

Christmas tips are usually pretty good and postmen get a lot more in tips that time of year.

I don’t tip them. Would never consider it.

I have never thought to tip them.

Nothing

Only had delivery once during covid and didn't tip as we paid a delivery fee.

Never tip.

The only place I ever tip is in a restaurant and that's not 100% of the time.

Have never even thought of tipping supermarket drivers. I do always say a big thank you and wish them a lovely day.

We get almost everything delivered. I have never tipped delivery drivers unless it’s Christmas time, or it’s an especially massive heavy delivery and they carry it inside for me. Then I hand over a £5 or £10.

It’s really not accepted or normal to tip on a normal grocery delivery.

I do offer them a bottle of water on hot days but that’s it!

Never tip

I don't tip for anything in this country.

When I started online food shopping years ago I used to tip £2.00 but then stopped as the delivery men themselves were telling me it wasn’t expected and nobody else ever did. What I do now near Christmas or on a particular heavy shop is buy an extra item like a posh box of biscuits or chocs and write a note in the box provided they are for the picker/deliverer.

If I’ve baked that morning they might be offered a cupcake or cookie. I always offer a small bottle of water on hot days.

They are employees doing their job, you don't tip them. I've never had a takeaway delivered but if I did I wouldn't tip the driver, is that the norm?

This has never crossed my mind and I tip cab drivers, hairdressers, restaurants and also the bin men and my cleaner at Christmas so I am not anti tipping!

Tipping supermarket deliver drivers isn’t a thing!

I tip hairdressers, waiters and takeaway delivery people. I do not tip supermarket delivery drivers. They are employed on a very different basis to takeaway deliveries people and it would feel odd to tip them.

It is potentially putting them in a difficult position, so no you don't tip.

We have the same drivers most of the time. If that continues I’d give them something at Christmas but that’s it.

I've never tipped either. I don't know anyone who does. I am someone who always tips for other services (hairdresser, taxis, restaurants etc) but it doesn't seem appropriate to tip the groceries delivery driver.
