I made the mistake of not including a tip when helping my aging mother with her Walmart same-day delivery, and now, of course, the order is now delayed.

As far as I know, Walmart uses Instacart, so naturally, an order without a tip is being avoided as if it were the plague. I dislike our tipping culture because Instacart should pay people enough, as should Walmart, and the driver — who is paying nearly six dollars a gallon for gas — is likely struggling as much as everyone else, myself included, which we should all blame on Donald Trump.

But that struggle is why tipping can hurt some people so much, and not receiving a tip can hurt as well. It is a vicious cycle that we should not be facing, and yet here we are.

Finally got the Walmart order, but am getting a refund for a good size of it. The comment I left, for example for the frozen diced chicken breast was: " Not frozen, warm, partly defrosted and leaking. Order was placed around 11:30 AM and was supposed to be delivered between 3-5 PM, was delivered around 10 PM. Store did not refrigerate. I also left similar comments for the frozen pizza, refrigerated turkey slices, refrigerated bologna slices, and a few other items.

I do not fault Walmart for the delayed delivery. They cannot help it if a driver is not available, but they are responsible for being sure the food is kept at a safe temperature while they hold my order.
