As a customer who really appreciates these services in these times, I think these demands are super reasonable. I recently tried to give a tip to an Amazon carryout person, but they said they couldn't take it.

Same. We just end up giving our amazon delivery guy two bottles of hand sanitizer and a face mask.

Completely reasonable. I got an Instacart order yesterday, and paid 15% tip. That worked out to about $2 per item on average. I think that if I can't afford to pay an extra ~25% for my groceries then I have no business ordering them.

Yep, I figure I'm easily saving that money anyway by not going out to eat, not going out for beer with friends, hardly any driving, and so on. So I figure it's the right thing to share generously as long as I'm in a position to do so.

Talk about yourself vs. generalizing it for everyone

They did talk about themselves. The whole post is written only in the first person.
