It is. Via the handling fee.

No, they get at least minimum wage. The handling fee is an added fee that goes to the company. Only the tip goes “100%” to the employee, as it states.

If the store hires people whose sole job is to walk up and down the aisles filling orders, the store has to get money to pay those people. The store gets that money by charging people the handling fee.

Nonsense. The store pays cashiers, too, and they don’t charge a cashier fee. Or a stocking clerk fee.

To prove it even further, they don’t offer a discount when using self-checkout.

When I worked in a grocery store, we wouldn’t dream of asking for an additional fee or tip, even when we bagged and walked out someone’s groceries to their car. It was part of the job we were being paid to do.
