I am guessing he is referring to Amazon Prime Now where you are expected to tip. But generally I do not tip because I think Amazon should pay their drivers. And most of the time they didn't even come to my door, so they don't deserve any tip. Though, I don't use that service as much.
Though thinking back, I did leave $1 or $2 tips here and there, depending on their service.
Tipping in general is a big deal to me. I usually overdo it because I'm just pro-labor.
But, at a certain point you do start to feel a little scammed by the companies simply underpaying their workers and expecting you to make up the difference.
More recently, this trend of tip jars for people just ringing you up and other minimal things is downright annoying. Extra money for <20 seconds of minimal effort wherein the service quality level is relatively unimprovable? C'mon.
If you think Amazon doesn't pay well, I think it's a better practice to just mentally add $1 or $2 to the price of what your ordering and call it the tip, rather than stiffing the drivers. If you can't afford it with tip, you can't afford it.
I think I'd be less annoyed if Amazon wouldn't just fill out the tip field automatically. I ordered a GPU last time for $400 and they wanted me to provide $30 tip. I changed it to $2 or $3.
