Safeway is a national grocery store chain that offers grocery delivery in many areas. So, do you tip Safeway grocery delivery?
According to Customers Who Tip, the answer is yes. They say that Safeway delivery drivers are “just like any other service worker” and should be tipped for their trouble. They recommend a standard 15-20% tip for grocery delivery.
However, Not Everyone Tips. Some people feel that they shouldn’t have to tip for a service that they’re already paying for.
After all, the delivery fee is supposed to cover the driver’s time and gas. Others simply don’t have the extra cash to spare.
The Bottom Line
Whether or not you choose to tip your Safeway delivery driver is up to you. If you can afford it and you feel the driver has done a good job, then a tip is always appreciated. However, you shouldn’t feel obligated to do so if you can’t afford it or if you don’t think the driver deserves it.
