Remember when you could do this at no charge?

Amazon started a program that you could tip delivery drivers $5 through your Alexa!  Just tell Alexa to thank your driver and voila – they get $5 in their pocket.

The last person to deliver an Amazon package to your doorstep will be notified of your appreciation and receive the tip.

Unfortunately, Amazon has ended a promotion allowing customers to give their drivers a $5 tip by saying “Alexa, thank my driver,” to their Alexa-enabled device.

The incentive was only available to the first 1 million delivery drivers.

This temporary incentive came on the heels of reports that the D.C. attorney general is suing Amazon on behalf of its delivery drivers.

The suit claims the company improperly used customer tips to reduce what it owed in drivers’ wages.
