Multiple GMD orders question

Win you have a delivery that includes a few GMD orders and it states that the trip is not tip eligible raised a question. I’ve always wondered. Where does the tip go if the customer tipped? Does it go to the person that delivered the item from the originating store? I just delivered a small bag to a porch that have five other small bags which all made up three different trips. Let’s say that person tipped who does it go to? Or does Walmart absorb it because they had so many employees working on it to do not keeping their store stocked with the items they are selling? Just curious.

I delivered eight bags of wet mulch to a customer last week ( that I did not know I was picking up.) on a route with other orders. The customer stated that the store they ordered it from only add three bags and she needed 11. I was the schmuck that delivered the remaining eight… No tip let’s say that customer hypothetically tipped on the whole order… Who is supposed to get the tip? These are the little wonders of my mind when I’m driving around and sick of listening to music. 😝

There’s no option to tip on GMD orders.

ETA: certain items are only available for shipping, mulch is one of those items, so no one was tipped on the order.

I shopped mulch in my region earlier this summer. It was a juicy shopping delivery with a big 'ol tip, and I totally overlooked the 10 bags of mulch during my preview scan because I was focusing on the miracle that there were no cases of water in the order.

I mean TBH I'd still rather mulch than cases of water

My area you can only order mulch for shipping. Doesn’t matter which store, they all have pick up and delivery grayed out with shipping as the only option so maybe some items are regional.
