They really should have "pandemic tip jars" for the service workers. They could even expand on it such that if somebody can't afford all their groceries they can use money from the jar. Sort of like the thing stores used to do with pennies. So if you contribute to the jar you are both giving to the worker or somebody who has suffered financially because of the pandemic. Problem is, just like the Salvation Army has learned... most people don't have a lot of cash or change anymore because so much purchasing is done with plastic.
In Mexico it's customary to tip the kid who bags your groceries (somebody explained they work for tips only but I don't know for a fact that is true) but I didn't realize it the first time I bought there because there was no jar. So basically I stiffed the kid and felt like an ass when somebody explained the custom to me.
