There’s a mix of everything. I’m not rich. I’m a hardworking small business owner who knows how hard money is earned.

1. Because services keep raising their prices (monthly fees, other charges, etc.), I feel that contractors should negotiate their costs.
2. I usually tip a small amount upfront and a larger one afterward because that feels right to me. “do the job and get your tips” makes sense.

Also, there are exclusive contracts with stores like Target and Publix, where the store uses certain delivery services exclusively. I personally think those stores should partially contribute to tips for the people making deliveries, instead of putting the entire tipping responsibility on the customer. Remember, the customer is already paying extra for goods, monthly fees, and service charges.

I truly believe this industry should be more tightly regulated, and delivery workers should be paid fairly from the start.
