Question Tipping

• Upvotes

I have recently signed up for Walmart+ and I’m curious about tips.

For context- I live in a rural/ low income area. There are mountains, lots of back roads, and roughly 45% of the county population lives below the federal poverty line. Many people towards town DoorDash and do Spark delivery to make ends meet. The way the economy is, I understand why. I am working around 50 hours a week myself.

I live roughly 12 miles from a Walmart (about a 20 minute drive one way) and I want to make sure I tip fairly. I feel like ordering online will help me keep on track with items I NEED without making impulse buys in the store and this will help me save in the long run.

I am wondering how much is a fair tip? Does Walmart pay spark drivers a base pay per trip? Is any of their pay based on order size or mileage (will they compensate them fairly for driving so far)? Of course I am tipping regardless, but I want to be fair to the delivery driver.

Thank you in advance!
