Yea you should tip. But the workers are choosing this job knowing they may not get 20% from every client. So if you can't afford to tip 20% why shouldn't you be able to use the service and only tip 10% which the app allows?

You mean Lakewood. Because Lakewood doesn’t tip otherwise.

I guess based on the responses in this thread, the restaurants have to make tips mandatory or else the cheapskates wouldn’t tip at all because after all, in their opinion, tips are optional LOL

The waiters are choosing to work without being guaranteed tips and why should I tip a waiter when I can use thst money for something else 🤷‍♀️🤣

In “civilized” parts of the USA, tips aren’t automatically added because the clientele tips appropriately

I don’t know why I continue to be surprised at the cheapness of some imamother when threads discuss greedy cleaning ladies, morahs, sheitl makers, school administrators and anyone else who provides services and expects fair compensation.

That’s true.

There is a mehalach ha’olam. If you can afford to tip, the non Jewish shopper will look upon us more favorably.

That having been said, if you cannot, let GOD look at you favorably because you chose to spend your money taking care of what is important.

MHO.

They will not look at you more favorably. A tip is expected if you’re using any of these services. I know someone who used to do Uber Eats/Instacart etc and they said that they knew exactly who was frum Jewish and who wasn’t, because pretty much everyone tipped an appropriate amount except the religious Jews who didn’t tip at all. He said that in the rare case that they tipped, it was way less than the norm. The frum Jews (at least in Lakewood and Deal) have a terrible reputation with these drivers. Just saying.

On the button. Most people in [location removed] think they’re above treating service workers like equal humans. (And we’re now talking about necessary services. We’re talking about luxuries.)

IT IS NOT CHEATING THE WORKER TO NOT TIP.

As most people above said, yes it is. If you don’t think you need to tip, just don’t use any luxury service because you are making a massive chillul Hashem. End of story.

I don’t use instacart but I don’t do my own shopping either. I get orders delivered from different stores. They (the stores) have a delivery fee which has gotten quite high so very often I don’t tip anymore. I used to always tip when delivery was free but if I’m already paying anywhere between $5-$10 for delivery then I’m really not inclined to tip as well.
Also about making a chilul Hashem, I’m not sure that the delivery people from instacart know how much each person tips at the time of delivery.

They absolutely do.

As I posted, all the delivery people know exactly who tipped and what amount.

And they have their own forums and chat groups in which they discuss terrible customers including people who tip $2 or some other ridiculously low amount.

I am not on their chats since I don’t work for Instacart but I would imagine they do discuss the lack of tips in certain zip codes or neighborhoods. Just saying. 🤷‍♀️

Many of them aren’t. The ones for 08701 and surrounding areas are justified though. You can give whatever excuses you want about why you don’t have to tip, but at the end of the day, YOU (I mean the Jews) are the only one giving the excuses. Everyone else figures it out somehow, even if they’re not rich.

Why do we need to fill in for stingy companies?
Why don’t we expect them TO PAY THEIR WORKERS ?

I pay my workers, why am I paying workers at restaurants or instacart?

(I always tip nicely, but I think it’s a disgusting expectation that it should be mandatory.)

I agree that companies should pay their workers properly. However if they did the price for the service would increase to cover that cost.

If you can't afford to pay for the labor--be it instacart or a restaurant--you can't really afford the service.

I’m always confused at the percentage system. (Makes a bit more sense to me at a restaurant)

I did not tip my shopper 30$ for shopping / delivering an expensive electronic (one item). But I also didn’t tip the one who worked for ten minutes collecting detailed school supplies and half were out of stock 3$.

I tip around 6-10 usually, it’s often 20% but not always if it’s big ticket items, those are usually expensive orders with few things- e.g 2 packages of diapers.. I don’t do full grocery orders but I can imagine that being more.
