Hey y'all, genuine question here!

I have a toddler, infant, and ppd. Taking both of them to the store is a really daunting task, not to mention the limited cart space with my infants car seat. So I typically will just do a Walmart+ grocery delivery about once a week. I usually have about a $150 order. At the end it asks for us to leave a tip for the driver,I usually tip $5-$10 depending on if it's a "payday week" or not.

My question is: how do the delivery drivers get paid? Is it like waiters/waitresses where you get paid less than minimum wage per hour and rely on tips? Or is the tip just an extra courtesy? When I tip at restaurants I always do 20% or $20 (whichever is more), and I'd like to make sure I'm not shorting my driver's since I get grocery delivery frequently!

I live 0.4 miles from the store
