People who tip for take-out orders

[Fists_of_Fury]

Most people do not have issue with dine in tipping but Im specifically talking about take out orders.

It's more about the principle. Why would I pay extra to pick up my own food? lol if they delivered, that's different. But Im not going to pay somebody extra to do their job.

There are countless food spots everywhere so if an establishment want to play petty and leave out a sauce or two just because I didnt tip, I will simply take my business elsewhere. Petty ass businesses do not last anyway.

Those guy who remodels your home or fixes your rooftop under the scorching sun deserve tip yet most of the time, home owners do not tip.

Any monkey can put a food order together for take out and those workers aint getting nothing from me.

Most waitresses and bartenders make way more than they should for the little work they do. I know plenty of women that make $500-1,000 every Friday and Saturday night. I wish tipping was done away with altogether and these workers were paid a set wage by their employer like any sensible country already does. I would rather get my own drinks and food if I could. My order wouldn't get messed up, I would receive my food faster and my drink refills would come as needed along with my check. The damn cook deserves a tip more than the waitress. Most cooks make less than the waitresses after you account for tips.

Fast food workers minimum wage or more.

The person making your takeout in a restaurant typically makes $0 a week on their paycheck.

But by all means, feel free to not tip them. They'll totally understand and be happy to see you next time you come in.

Why do you allow them to not be paid minimum wage?

How can this be allowed?

Restaurants get to skimp on pay and then try and guilt customers into picking up their slack by paying their employee. A lot of these waitresses and bartenders don't claim all their cash tips too. Credit card tips are the ones they can't really do that with. All tips should be forced into being card only due to this. More intelligent countries pay their waiting staff a set wage and there's no tips, the U.S. is retarded for not following suit. I bet if there was more waiters than waitresses it would've been addressed already.

They get paid a minimum wage but since they get tips it's a lower minimum wage than normal minimum wage. Most waitresses and bartenders make way more than normal minimum wage due to tips. Especially since they don't claim most of their cash tips, skirting taxes.

They do make minimum wage or better. If you tip them.

That's complete bullsheeit. You have no clue what you are talking about. Bartenders and waitresses still make a certain wage + tips.

Nah, YOU don't know how it works. At all.

A server or bartender is taxed based on their sales - the tax is an assumption they were tipped x percentage of those sales. So they pay taxes on your tip whether you tipped or not. If you do not tip on your carryout or dine-in experience, the server/bartender is still charged taxes because a tip is assumed.

That tax amount is then deducted from their pay, which is typically below minimum wage.

The tax nearly always outweighs the wage - so the server/bartender gets a paystub for $0 a couple times a month.

I either dine in or have it delivered.

Those who pick up rather than the other 2 don't want to tip and why should they ?
Tipping is for service while dining.
You don't tip because your food was made available to be picked up.

True story:

The only fried chicken place close to where I live always served me mediocre food, so, understandably, I never once tipped them. I started tipping them after COVID because I felt sorry about small businesses closing down. Ever since I started tipping, my food quality improved and so has the customer service.

Moral of the story: tipping increases staff morale and improves food quality.

It should be the other way around.
Give your best product and hope to get tipped. They're lucky they didn't lose you as a customer.
TBF, if the pay is so shltty, why do they stay doing it for so long ?

It takes time to box up your order and put all the extras in. An extra 5$ if it's a place I go to infrequently. 15% if it's a place I like and go to regularly.

The people boxing your order make minimum wage+. The person taking your order, keeping your table in order, keeping your drinks filled and bringing you your food makes like $2.62 an hour.

Try living off of that...............Rockin'
