This. People buy hardware and use whatever comes with it.
This is why and how ChromeOS became used. Google didn't just put it on a website, they got manufacturers to make products with it.

You are right.

If they have eggs, get a dozen.
I think I'm done explaining things. You're not trying to understand, you're trying to argue. Sorry to say but your confusion is never ending. And you're weirdly argumentative over something when you clearly have no idea about business or accounting. Like did a handling fee rape your mother or something? No need to answer, ciao.
You are confusing direct payment and general revenue/fees from which the store pays employees. You are correct Handling fee is not directly transferred to the employee. Handling fee is revenue collected by the store. Now that they have a big pool of revenue, they pay their employees from it (the minimum wage you referred to). Read that in context of the next two paragraphs.
WRT cashiers and stockers that was part of the existing business model. The general profit from groceries covered those expenses.
The general profit from groceries does not cover the expense of a different business model of hiring additional employees whose sole job would be to walk around filling orders. Those additional jobs require additional revenue, which the store gets from handling fee.
The next question may be "why a Handling fee" instead of paying those employees from general profit from groceries. The answer is because online orders have a new direct cost, which the store wants to put on those customers that are creating that cost. That's the short of it.
Tipping is an entirely different part of this.
Other chains might be trying it without charging yet. Or the orders aren't so high yet. Who knows.
And their pay should come from their employer.
...It is. Via the handling fee. Let's put it this way: If the store hires people whose sole job is to walk up and down the aisles filling orders, the store has to get money to pay those people. The store gets that money by charging people the handling fee.
Yes.
