Does annybody worry about sabotage if you don’t tip? Eg the cashier does something to your food? “Nice muffin you got there, I’d hate for it to get accidentally sneezed on.”

I recently bought my mom flowers for her birthday. Despite the price showing no delivery fee, the final price included $15 delivery charge, $8 service charge, taxes, and then asked me for a tip.

I chose no tip, expecting the delivery and service charge should cover everything.

The flowers were left on her front porch in below-freezing weather, they didn’t even knock or ring the doorbell. Luckily my mom happened to open the door and saw them before they completely froze.

So was the delivery person incompetent, or acting out because I didn’t add additional tip?

I don't call those tips, they are bribes or bids. I avoid all delivery services personally as much as possible and I'm fortunate to have a car.

I would expect/hope that the deliver person does not know the tips for individual orders.
