The person was actually paid $10.80 - $10 of which was tip, and $0.80 was from Instacart.

Yes? That doesn't meet my expectations. I'd expect them to paid whatever reasonable wage ($12/hr? $15/hr?) and then get the $10 on top of that.

It doesn't meet my expectations either, but your phrasing made me worry that you thought their total compensation was $0.80.
