I have been spoiled with Kroger Booster where there is no tipping allowed on Kroger deliveries. I was told Walmart+ was the same and switched to have more options for items that can be delivered (before the snarky comments start, I have spinal damage so I can't "just go to the store"). The first delivery went great, but now I'm trying to set up a second delivery, and it's asking for a tip when the first order did not show any options for tipping.

Now, that's no big deal for the occassional emergency order, but I have a very limited income and I avoid places that ask for tips because that can easily eat away at my budget. Before I cancel, I'd like to better understand Walmart+'s system. Was my initial order with no tipping options shown deceptive? Are the drivers Walmart employees who are being paid their hourly rate or are these Instacart shoppers? Is there a minimum purchase amount that waives the tip?…
