[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3953132, member: 26737"] There's big money in it. DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart, and the like saw their business boom during the Rona times, and they got people used to the idea of getting pretty much anything delivered (it's not just pizza for college kids pulling an all-nighter anymore). The Walmarts and Sam's have gotten into it, too, though I don't know if they're sending out employees or contracting through one of the other services. Amazon is contracting out a lot, if not most, of their delivery. Heck, we don't have any Krogers, but we have Kroger Delivery. As best I can tell, they have a logistics center in OKC, but I've seen their delivery vans as far south as Lexington. As for tipping, I don't know about Sam's, but most of the delivery services have a place for you to put in a tip when you're checking out. When I order stuff delivered (except for places like Amazon), I do include a tip for the driver. The one that gets me is apps asking if I want to add a tip when I'm ordering take-out. Umm, I'm providing the service on that deal, so why would I leave a tip for my work? [/QUOTE]
