Comment on This grocery store charges a hefty handling fee and asks for a tip when using online ordering.

FWIW, Walmart doesn’t have a fee for pickup orders and free shipping for orders over $35. They also don’t accept tips.
As a consumer, fees upon fees upon tips just seems wrong. It discourages business, IMO.

Walmart’s not going to be a good model, there, as while the chance of abuse being the cause might not be 100%, it hangs out near enough 100 to know more than a few intimate things about it.
If you’re asking someone to collect your groceries, maybe pay them to do so. Tips are broken as a concept, so whatever there.

It was an example. Other grocery stores have the same pricing structure, but I have less experience with them.
I don’t get this. They already get paid to do this, just like a stock clerk or cashier.
