My pharmacy boasts free delivery no matter what you buy. We once ordered a couple of items that a Mexican dropped off, it was one shopping bag. We gave him a dollar. He threw it on the floor and said “I don’t accept one dollar.”
So now we’ve established that there are deliverymen out there who are rude. How does this impact the discussion on tipping? “
You pick up the dollar, and resolve not to tip this delivery person ever again, or pick up your own pharmacy items. If I give a dollar to the guy who checked my oil and put air in my tires, he says a very polite thank you with a smile that tells me he does not often get ANY type of a tip. A dollar is a dollar. Put enough of them together and you eventually have a nice pile of dollars. This reminds me of the meshulach who did the same thing to me. He actually flung the dollar back in my face and said, “Here! It’s obvious you need this more than I do!” To which I replied, “You’re right, but I nevertheless still wanted to give you SOMEthing!”
