For the first time this year I’ve begun seeing tip requests on run-of-the-mill e-commerce sites. The premise is that you’re tipping the person packing the order. But I’m
deeply skeptical.
I suppose it takes minutes to code it up on their order form; so why not? But it leaves me with a negative impression of the site when I see it.

What if they failed to pack fragile item properly? I could understand asking it for later, but before I have seen result of the work is pure insanity...
