Instacart and DoorDash’s Tip Policies Are Deliveri...
I would guess that the ratio of the number of tips to the number of deliveries for UPS/FedEx/USPS is orders of magnitude lower than for Instacart/DoorDash/etc.

And those delivery drivers are paid a wage, unlike the $0.80 per hour w/o tips from instacart.

Isn't there a minimum wage even for tipped workers at like 2$ something?

These types of "gig workers" aren't employees, they are independent contractors so minimum wage doesn't apply to them.

there is a term for that in German "Scheinselbstständigkeit" basically "pretend independence", seems more like a loophole than anything else

The UPS guy doesn't have to push a cart around the store to fill your order, either
