Does anyone know what an appropriate tip is for one of these shoppers? And is it on a
sliding scale of some sort when the amount of items rises?

(862 posts)for an order for 1-2 weeks of groceries for a single person. I live in a semi-rural area, though, not some place like NYC and not on an upper floor. They can also park like two minutes from my door.

... a vacation and the manager filled in and was amazed at all the confused customers who
tried to tip him -- "because Billy took my tips".

Zero tolerance. Good job GONE on return.

Nice guy, the driver. Incredible system for keeping cold/frozen stuff separate from groceries
and keeping groceries separate from non-food items.
.
Asked him to place everything on the floor in the kitchen, cold stuff near the fridge.

Great job. I'll definitely be using this service again. They only have one store here and it's
about 1-2 miles from my house (though they deliver all over town).
.
They've provided this online service since 2006 and now keep 10 delivery trucks busy every
day (he did say that, other than a big daycare center, my order was by far the largest -- my
future orders will be about 20-25% of what todays was).
.
Orders have to be a minimum of $49.
