Sam's Club Tips on Paid Deliveries (lem.clinicians-exchange.org)

On certain items, Sam's Club requires a $8-$12 delivery fee. This is problematic enough given some items are free delivery.

At the end of the order process, I'm then asked to tip the driver. It seems to me that Sam's Club could put together a big enough delivery route to be able to pay a driver well and maintain the delivery van at that delivery fee per each stop.

I feel over-charged paying tip on top of that. However, I never dick over delivery drivers. Is Sam's Club paying them? How much? What is that delivery fee going towards?

So I end up tipping.

More frequently, I just avoid ordering items with a delivery fee. (Not a good option for people stuck at home for good reasons like age, disability, lack of transportation, etc.)

Oddly, customers are not asked to tip on the free delivery items.

Guilt is a hell of a thing in capitalism. Speak with your wallet and stop ordering from them.

Well sure, Teft -- you are not wrong. But let's say I'm working 10 hours per day to live in this capitalist system (I am), and need to outsource shopping. There are only so many mom and pop shops I can get delivery from, and only so much time I want to spend going to the store myself.

I'm mostly not lazy -- I'm stressed in other ways.
