Places that used to not ask for tip now asking for tip(when I'm just picking up my order) and I know that shit isn't going to the workers.

Yeah, I will ask workers what the tip-out policy is at questionable places (i.e. Fast Food Service), most of the places that put in these tip screens do not actually tip-out or have some insane policy to make sure workers never claim the money and/or only a small percentage. Like if a tip jar would seem out of place and/or wasn’t there before a store’s POS upgrade I generally assume the management is pocketing the tip (i.e. Five Guys Burgers, cash goes to employees but I’ve been told by a few cashiers that credit card tips seem to vanish into thin air)

tip cash right to the person

Isn't this straight up wage theft?

however, now that Walmart has pickup for groceries, I often am, "oops I left a wad of money back there, you can put it in your pocket" just to avoid the Walmart tip process online. Who knows who is getting it. If they workers want tips they should fight to be the "bring the food to the car" people or have an honest collaboration with the "pick the food from the shelves for my order people", I just assume they rotate around.

Anyhow, sometimes it is even pouring rain, and I said, damn! -- then the guy said that unless there was thunder or lightning they had to go into the rain.
