How to Properly Tip Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic

How to Properly Tip Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic When it comes to tipping essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a few things to take into consideration.

On one hand, it's important to remember that these workers are risking their own health to provide services to us.

On the other hand, many people, including customers, are experiencing COVID-19 caused financial difficulties.

Tipping is dependent on who you’re tipping and what your financial situation is.

For grocery deliverers, customers tips are a large portion of their income.

If you can afford to, tipping 15% to 20% on an order helps make the trip worthwhile for them.

When it comes to home delivery drivers, most employees aren’t allowed to accept cash or cash equivalents as a tip.

Instead, you could set out mini hand sanitizers, bottled waters or individually packaged snacks as a “thank you” for their hard work.

If you didn’t before, it’s strongly recommended that you start tipping on restaurant takeout orders and curbside services.

You don’t have to overtip, but remember that these workers are in a tough spot as well.

Although healthcare workers aren’t the type of essential workers you leave a tip for, it would be kind to show your appreciation in other ways.

Consider leaving a positive online review or even publicly expressing how much you appreciate their work.
