Did the Hy-Vee grocery delivery. Ordered $175 do you tip and if so how much? I was thinking $10 or does that make me a poor. Service is free so no delivery fee. Saves about 2 hours of time for me.

Is this free to the general public?
This is a tough one for me. I'm a 20% guy unless the provider is obviously slacking, but you can rack up a $200 grocery bill pretty fast. $30- $40 is a lot of money. OTOH, if that same kid has to go around the store being your personal shopper, that is a lot of work. Hmmmm... not sure.

If it's a kid, $15 or so; if it's an adult, I'd tip more on the assumption he has a family, particularly if they are using a personal vehicle - say $15-20.
They use a Hy-Vee delivery vehicle here in CF. I actually like getting groceries...you know, this being a college town and such.
It's free if you spend above a certain amount. Otherwise delivery is $5. The people I've seen who are doing the personal shopping are adults, but of course that doesn't mean only adults do the personal shopping.
It seems odd to adjust tips for an adult vs a kid. A tip isn't charity.
$10 seems fair. My previous career as a pizza boy taught me deliveries don't generally follow the 20% rule. Standard tip was $2 or whatever the change that was left.

Yeah free over $100 order. Getting it delivered tomorrow probably do around $15. If it's a hot girl do I invite her in and proposition the wife?
How much am I supposed to tip the UPS or Fedex guy? Do we know that the person driving the Hy-Vee van is the same person that picked out the items?
^^^^^Agree with this guy.
Tipping is stupid and they're just doing their job. He'd be lucky to get 5 bucks out of me.
Of course, I'm also not fat and lazy enough that I can't do my own shopping.

My wife uses this service often. Very convenient with 4 kids at home. It certainly saves us time and likely saves us money too. No more impulse buys. I still like grocery shopping in person but we take advantage of this often. We tip, but usually only 5 bucks or so. May need to up it to ten.
We eat a fair amount of fresh produce and meat......I want to be able to pick out what I buy......not take what they choose to unload on me.
I actually kind of go the opposite way on this, marginally. Most of the kids working at hyvee are saving or paying for college...working over breaks and weekends while their friends are playing beer pong and sleeping all day. Those are the ones that end up defaulting on student loans or dropping out, the ones working their way through school appreciate it a lot more.
Exactly this. No way do I want someone else picking out my fresh products. And the grocery store we go to has a world class beer and wine section that I love to peruse.
OP, where do you live that going to the grocery store is such a hassle? Rural Iowa?
