WTH did it become expected to tip for TAKEOUT?? no way, ain't happening!! Do these companies think that they don't have to pay their employees at all anymore? I understand dining in I understand delivery but I ain't tipping if I have to drive to your place and buy your food. What's everyone's thoughts??
OT: tipping...

Big nope. I just picked up food at Davinci's and they have the tip part on the receipt. Sit down restaurants yes. Deliveries. Very good tipper. Picking up. Hell no. Just doing your job.

Even fast food drive thrus and lemonade stands have tip jars these days.
I tipped carry out when the pandemic was in full swing but not since then

i don’t tip for takeout ever. Why? At least because here in CA I know a full time minimum wage worker makes at least 32k per year by law. And for places like Panda Express and others, they start people at 18.50 an hour.
I mean, that isn’t necessarily easy work but it isn’t that skilled.
I do tip at sit down restaurants because there’s a whole slew of people that also get part of the tips like bussers, dishwashers, etc. But even they are at 32k+ minimum
Can’t imagine the folks in states that still are at $7.25 an hour. Those folks I’d tip

Do like Matt and Trey did at Casa Bonita. Pay your employees a fair wage they can live on and you don't need to worry about tipping.
Days before opening, though, the restaurant asked employees to sign new contracts that offered hourly wages for servers and bartenders of $30 an hour, according to Axios Denver. The new contract said they would no longer receive tips to supplement their wages, Axios reported — the minimum wage in Colorado is $13.65, according to the state's labor department.

And another thing that annoys the F out of me is this ‘buy our staff a six-pack for ten bucks’ ******** I've been seeing lately.
1. How about you show appreciation to your own staff and pay them enough so that they can buy their own six-packs?
B. Ten bucks for a six-pack? Then why are you charging me six bucks for one?

Many also figured out that a bidet is the best and cleanest way to bathroom but many here still smear away.
Dude. $18.50 is barely getting by here in Texas. You know how much rent is in Cali? Have a heart, guy.
It will get you a nice tent that comes complete with needles and feces. **** California.
Servers and bartenders typically make more with tips than without.. just saying
I still usually do 10% on most carry out orders. I guess I’ve been blessed and am not going to miss that 10$ tip on a carry out order. People in low wage jobs are really struggling to pay their bills.
Everyone is struggling in this economy right now. But I won't mention the name on here.
I do my part by avoiding all bars, restaurants and delivery services. That **** costs too much even before the tip so it works itself out.
Whatcha taking about .. a certain someone was bragging how great the economy is under his watch..Everyone is struggling in this economy right now. But I won't mention the name on here.
Personally I think tipping is an outdated practice. IMO, places of business should pay their employees a regular wage and just add the cost to the food and/or service.
Restaurants have tried.. servers don’t work there because they make less… it’s baked into going out to eat
Trey and Matt also charge A LOT for the privilege of eating at Casa Bonita now....so much there is quite a backlash against what CB has become. Used to be a kitschy and affordable place to grab a bite, now its priced like a 5 star restaurant....those $30 hr employees all of the sudden arent getting the hrs they once did.
They also saved the place. Last I heard it was rundown and the food was crap. Supposed to be decent food now to go along with the experience.
I'll sometimes toss a couple buck tip on takeout orders, but it depends on the place. If we're traveling and just hit takeout to take back to the hotel room, nope.
But we have a bar in our tiny town we regularly get takeout from, and one a town over that's the same deal. Those I'll toss a couple bucks on because we know the bartenders/servers personally.

Truckstop off I29 down by Neb City. In the restroom theres a a wall slot to tip if you think the restrooms are clean.
Better servers get bigger tips from me. The first summer of COVID my daughter waited tables at a bar grill near a state park that gets over 1.5 million visitors/year. She averaged over 30% on her tips. Her internship with the State Department that summer got cancelled because the candy asses in DC were all working from home. She got paid the server minimum wage in addition. Why the H would you want to disincentivize wait staff to hustle by fixing they’re wage?
I "tipped" at a bowling alley the other day...I got a soda...I could not figure out that "no tip" option...so I tipped 10% on a 3 dollar fountain drink!
I was not mad about the tip...I was mad that I could not figure out how to NOT tip!
I was not mad about the tip...I was mad that I could not figure out how to NOT tip!
Ugggg, it totally depends!
I have gotten SOOOO lazy with carrying cash.
And in that instance...I had exactly 3 dollars! The tab was like 3.07

I don’t like to tip carry out, but I will do 10 or 15%, if the person is friendly and helpful. If they don’t smile and greet, I don’t write 0 on the tip line of the receipt, I write ZERO with a smiley face.
Its BS. A tip is a gratuity for good service rendered, not just a hand out because you’re adequate enough to run the cash register.

We've usually done 10% as well, alot of the time and usually get takeout once a month. I swear only 2x this year, did they even get the order correct. Wrong topping or forgot a side. I open the trunk and go through it now, before I head home.
I'm bout ready get off the tipping train
unless it's sit down.

I have a friend who just retired as the HR head of a fairly large manufacturing plant. She needed a customer service rep. The only applicant she got was a gamer who couldn’t stay awake during a 1 hour training session. 20$+/hour plus health insurance and a retirement plan no experience required answering phones. One crappy applicant.
Well I think the incentive these days doesn't have a lot of effect. Most of the wait staff expect a generous tip as a mandatory rule and are very angry if they don't get it even if their service was so so. It's not needed in some countries because expectations are that workers should always do a good job without having to be bribed. I'm NOT for stiffing the help, I just want the restaurant to pay them a fair wage like is the practice for other jobs and add it into the price. The tipping game is obsolete IMO.
And like all help in other jobs, in the event they don't do a decent job they should be fired.
