Tipping Your Walmart Delivery Driver: A Guide for the Generous (and Slightly Forgetful)
Let's face it, sometimes the hero wears a blue vest and lugs a mountain of groceries to your doorstep. That hero, my friends, is your Walmart delivery driver. They deserve a tip, just like any unsung champion. But fear not, for adding a tip to your Walmart delivery is easier than wrestling a rogue pool noodle (although that is an impressive feat in itself).
The Pre-meditated Tipster: Tipping Before Delivery
You're on top of things this week! You've planned your meals, remembered to buy birthday wrapping paper for your niece's hamster (judgement-free zone here), and tipping your delivery driver is a mere formality. Here's how to be a tipping pro-active:
-
During Checkout: Walmart's got your back. There's a handy dandy tipping option right there on the checkout page. Slide that virtual tip bar to your desired level of generosity and bam! Instant hero status achieved.
-
The App is Your Friend: Placing your order through the Walmart app? No problem! Just navigate to your order details and find the glorious "Add Tip" button. It's like finding a hidden level in a video game, but way more rewarding (and less likely to involve pixelated chickens).
Tip-tastic Tidbit: While tipping is entirely optional, consider this: delivery drivers are basically pack mules with superpowers. A little something extra shows your appreciation for their Tetris-like skills in cramming groceries into your car (or lack thereof).
The Forgetful Few (We've All Been There): Tipping After Delivery
We've all been there. The doorbell rings, you snag your haul of paper towels and passionfruit (because who doesn't love a bit of variety?), and then... the horror! You completely forgot to tip! Don't fret, friend, for Walmart allows post-delivery tipping too!
- Account to the Rescue: Head over to your Walmart account and find the "Purchase History" section. Locate your specific delivery order and look for the "Add Tip" button. It's like finding a twenty-dollar bill in your laundry, only better (because it doesn't involve questionable stains).
Important Note: You have 14 days to add a tip after your delivery. Don't let your hero driver become a forgotten legend!
Tipping Like a Rockstar: How Much is Enough?
There's no tipping police (unless you count your overly-judgmental neighbor, in which case, move!), but a general rule of thumb is 10-20% of your order total. If your delivery driver climbed Mount Everest to get your groceries to you (unlikely, but hey, anything's possible with Walmart delivery!), feel free to be even more generous.
Remember: Every penny counts! Even a small tip shows your appreciation for their hard work.
So there you have it! The next time you order from Walmart, remember your friendly neighborhood delivery driver. With these tips in mind, you can ensure they leave with a smile (and maybe a little jingle in their pocket). Now, go forth and conquer your grocery needs, knowing you've done your part to make the retail world a more hero-filled place.
