It is even worse when you actually pay Walmart a substantial amount per year to make deliveries free notwithstanding the amount of the order and then you get them delivered by DoorDash that you did not order, with an expectation of tipping the delivery driver. It happened to us twice already. The first time I saw that there is a car in our driveway that was not USPS or UPS or FedEx - which is scary since we live in a remote location - and then I was completely embarrassed, because the driver, a nice young man, obviously expected a tip and I did not have a clue, why. He said he was from DoorDash and I told him that we did not order DoorDash, then I walked to where he left the package and it said W+ (Walmart +), meaning free delivery no matter the amount of the order, and we already paid Walmart for this service $98 a year.
DoorDash contractors should realize that people may have already paid Walmart for their "free" deliveries when accepting such orders.
I do not plan using DoorDash in the future, so I may not be affected even if DoorDash drivers label me a "no-tipper", but I was embarrassed that drivers thought bad of me, with none of my fault.
And, we are generous tippers when I go to a restaurant. We don't order food or groceries for delivery.
Another complication is that I do not want to make life difficult for DoorDash drivers who delivered our orders by telling Walmart that I feel embarrassed I did not tip and to stop hiring them - the drivers did not ask for a tip, they just looked as if they expected it. I checked out DoorDash, they do receive some base pay from the merchant that sends the delivery, but it is likely they get more in tips than from the base pay. Will have to find DoorDash forums to address the issue.
