I'm generally with you, but... this is just a crazy situation, with a lot of people out of work. I've been happy to tip Instacart people generously the times we've used it in the past few weeks.

I’m all for the tip I just want us to keep our semantics clean and encourage/require companies to keep the base pay worked directly into the cost of services.

I see some people have different definitions than me but defining tips as discretionary and optional. Required costs are fees and should be called such. It’s pedantic nitpicking based on a goal of explicitly paying workers and not hiding it in mandatory tipping. I hope they get what they want.
