This really probably doesn't add up to fraud. There's a difference between being scummy and crime. This should be illegal of course, but it really probably isn't. Restaurants illegally take tips from their employees all the time, which would be a fraud against customers in the same way as this case. However, they don't get into trouble for fraud against customers, but wage theft. That of course doesn't apply to Instacart.
- TheCoelacanth 8y agoWould customers give the money if it were not labeled a "tip"? No. Is it a tip? No. Does Instacart gain something of value from this deception? Yes. That is textbook fraud.
- lenticular 8y agoNo, that really doesn't follow.
