PeaPod users - Tipping the driver?

So on average, what do you tip the driver? Do you base it on the cost/amount of groceries you ordered? Or do you always just tip one set dollar amount regardless?

TIA! Chat Icon


(I'm sure this has been asked before. I did a search, but couldn't find anything regarding tip.)

I asked my cousin what she did, she gives them 2-3 dollars so that is what I do. My dh thinks I am being cheap and should give them more.Chat Icon

I use it here and there and pretty much always tip $5. If I order a huge amount - maybe a $1-3 more.

I am such a cheapskate! I tip $3, no matter how big the order. It's always over $150 too.

I asked this about 2 hours ago and then deleted...Chat Icon

I tip from $4 to $6 dollars. Today, it was $5. From what I've read, it's on the higher side. I know around the holidays (like the order before Thanksgiving or Christmas), it will be higher.

Re: PeaPod users - Tipping the driver?

I tip 5.

The lowest I've given is 4 - and that's only bc I didn't have any more cash on me.

Re: PeaPod users - Tipping the driver?

I'm one of those that gets annoyed with tipping everyone in life, but I tip the Peapod man at least $5, sometimes more. He carries the stuff IN my house so I feel he deserves it.

Re: PeaPod users - Tipping the driver?

I don't order from Peapod but I would certainly give anywhere from 3-5 depending on how large my order was.

I always have huge orders (over $200), and I feel bad for them lugging in the groceries. I try to give at least $7, and sometimes if it's really a lot of groceries I'll give $10.

Re: PeaPod users - Tipping the driver?

I tip $4-$5 dollars, usually my order is no more than $120. If it's closer to $100 I will give $4.

Or it could depend on what cash I have on me.

I'm actually waiting for my delivery now! Chat Icon

Re: PeaPod users - Tipping the driver?

I tip $5 just about everytime.

If I order a ton of groceries - where he has to go back to the truck even when he is using those little bag holder thingies.. then I tip more. No more than 10 though.
