Amazon grocery delivery service briefly as it turned out, lowered their
minimum order for free delivery to $50 from multiple hundreds. So I tried
it a couple weeks ago and they not only added on a seven dollar delivery
fee but they added on a five dollar tip neither of which they told you
about until you got the receipt after you got the groceries. They then
raised the minimum order up to 100 bucks.
 
I contested the delivery fee and got it refunded, but I let the tip slide
because I figured it wasn’t the delivery person‘s fault
 

Good on you for contesting the delivery fee. Free means free so the idea
of them charging you $7 for free delivery is ridiculous.

As for letting the tip slide, I agree, it wasn't the delivery person's
fault. (I'm assuming it was a human making the delivery, not some kind
of robot.)

That assumes the tip is going to the delivery person. Something I
would have believed a few decades ago but now I wouldn't trust.
