Am Canadian, can confirm...

I do wish there was a way to tip the drivers who deliver my Amazon Prime stuff, though.

I don't want to tip someone who presses a few buttons on a screen to take my food order, that they usually mess up and sometimes add on a free side of bad attitude.

I would like an easy way to tip the guy who is trudging through the snow to deliver my 2KG jar of peanut butter at 9:30pm in January. I like this guy...

Wouldn't that just continue to expand a bad practice? If drivers got tips, Amazon would lower their wages, and we'd just have another domain where we have to make extra decisions.

This may be true, but my calculus in this situation was limited to "Guy came through deep snow at 9:30pm to deliver peanut butter...he deserves some money, I have some money, I would like a simple and effective way to transfer it to him."

(Note: I was not home when the delivery was made...)

If you know when an order is coming, you could copy some of the older folks I doordashed for. They often left money for the drivers in an envelope on the door.

You already transferred money to "him". The problem is the employer is not forwarding it on.

You want to tip without Amazon finding out.

Aka, cash, or venmo

People used to give money at Christmas to the postman

We still do

Found this after a quick google but can't vouch for it: https://www.kiplinger.com/personal-finance/shopping/you-can-...

EDIT: seems like a limited program. But a more permanent one would be good

At least in the US, that would be drivr.

A bowl of hand warmers set outside, similar to a bowl of candy on Halloween, would be one way. In the summer, swap for a cooler with waters on ice.

Amazon Fresh has a tip system in place.
