Another tipping thread.

[BR0 MONTANA]

I'm curious, are y'all tipping during COVID-19 for takeout?

Typically I only tip for dine-in..but now that is impossible. Quite the conundrum

I still only tip for dine in service. Since everything is take out only I don’t see the need to add more to my bill. What extra service am I paying for if I’m just taking my food to go?

Similar to what I posted when I started this thread... but what is the call for tipping when ordering take out and itʻs clear the person didnʻt do much to get the meal bagged up?

Stop feeling bad.

Take out gets nothing from me.

But if you are feeling charitable, do your thing.

They don't "deserve" anything though.

I usually tip cash and give it directly to the server.

Man today is not the day.
If I dine in and eat, you can ask for a tip.
If I roll through SONIC, you can ask for a tip.
If I roll through a damn Drive Through where I’m doing all the work and you’re just taking my money that I give you for food, don’t give me a God Damn receipt with a tip line and look at me like I owe you a ****ing tip.
I just paid you 8bucks for a Burger, and 3.19 for a small fry, and 2.99 for an Iced Tea, a tip line for ****ing what?!
Johnnie Charcoal Burger, you ****** is wilding.
FOH

Fast food spots near you have Tip Lines man?

Here’s What Happened After Compass Coffee Eliminated Tips | DCist

Many employees say that their overall wages decreased, even though management coupled the elimination of tips with an hourly pay increase.

dcist.com

The messaging around the eradication of tips also made some current and former baristas feel as though they were misleading customers. Six Compass employees at different locations say they were trained to tell customers who asked about tipping that Compass raised its drink prices so that tips weren’t necessary. Compass co-owner Michael Haft says that messaging isn’t a part of the official training documents.

A memo that went out to Compass employees before the change went into effect on March 1, 2020, stated that the decision was based on a comprehensive customer survey and evaluation of their tipping rates. (The memo was sent before the pandemic began to impact D.C.)

“We have determined that the majority of our customers tip out of a sense of obligation rather than genuine individual desire,” the memo said. “We have decided that, going forward, the price on the menu will be inclusive of customer service.”

I'd rather everyone do this. Raise the price of items on the menu and pay your workers.

A lot of people who work in these type of jobs prefer tipping because of the higher than average pay

Oh I know, my gripe is when they complain when they get no tip or a small one. You can't have it both ways.

I tip btw every time I eat out unless my service is egregious.

I went to eat the other day. Service was decent, nothing special, but they were understaffed and I could tell my server was doing the best she could do juggling a bunch of tables.

When I paid, I offered to tip via zelle, cash up, PayPal directly to her if she had any of those and was cool with that since I wanted everything to go to her rather than having to potentially share it with the other employees if that’s how they did things. I legit made this ladies day lol. She took a few things off my bill and told me to ask for her whenever I come back and I’ll be well taken care of.

Wasn’t trying to get a hookup or anything like that. But ima start doing this more often when the waiter/waitress is fine with it. If the service is good, I rather them get all the $$. F the cooks and the other servers lol.

He’s right.

Every shop has a d*** tip screen.

This shot drives me insane.
I think I’m overly generous with tips, and specifically the type of person FastFood Joints are looking to exploit. It’s super uncomfortable.

 

[a-friend]

I really feel like they will spit in my food for 0 tip, FastFood or not.
Stopped at the TACO SHOP today for some Asada Fries,……"give me card", $11.29 total…she of course says “can you sign this for me please” which ALWAYS MEANS that there is a tip line.
Drive Through Taco Shop that charges 10.99 for Steak Fries, and you want a tip? FOH

You need to add some vertical and diagonal lines on that tip line.

You also need to lower your horizontal line down some because you left them space to write in some numbers
