Do you tip for takeout orders?

[picasso swerve]

If I pay cash then I usually tip any coins I get back just cause I dont like loose change, sometimes on my mood ill give a dollar but other than that no.

There’s no service being provided, beyond the restaurant making the food that you paid for and giving it to you.

...how about you?

99.8% of the time ……….. No

If I did then it’s $1

For takeout, just a couple bucks.

Back when I was ordering takeout (pre-pandemic), I wouldn’t tip. I saw no reason as I was getting dressed and walking to the establishment to pick up my food. It would be no different than if I was walking by, thought it looked good then decided to pop in and make an order for takeout. Or going to Sam’s Club and getting a slice of pizza. Should I tip for that?

Nowadays, if I’m eating outside food at home then it’s something I ordered through UberEats, GrubHub, DoorDash, etc. Hell, half the time I get booze now I use Drizly I always tip but it’s crazy looking at the receipt afterwards because of all the added fees on top of the tip. And I know with Drizly most of the liquor stores around me have a minimum so I end up getting more than I want/need

Whenever tipping is the topic of conversation on NT things always get interesting

I’ve only done it to places I frequent

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Honestly, never thought about doing IT.

 

[shogun]

Nope.

 

[WASHED KING]

If you can afford to get takeout then you can tip a few bucks.

That’s wild.

What’s the tip for? I came and picked up my own food.

 

[jape]

Yeah I usually tip like 5%

When I use grubhub the tip is always there but I ordered Dominoes the other night and didn't tip, driver was like are you gonna leave a dollar for tip I said no and kept it moving

 

[blastercombo]

**** no

 

[blastercombo]

Plenty of places nowadays have the tip option on the iPad. Unless you provide exemplary service, I'm not tipping if it's not a sit down restaurant.

They have that everywhere now that takes card. Trying to make me feel bad lol.

Are the tips going to the cooks?

What are you tipping for?

 

[getback]

Yes.

 

[niceshoes247]

It’s damn near hilarious how openly cheap folk be

Cats get angry

 

[timelessflight]

I never tip for takeout orders

 

[TrafficLightBully]

So I’m picking up the food and you think I’m tipping ?

When I was a kid, I know for sure I definitely didn't tip and definitely would have repeat service. Hopefully no one tainted my orders, but there were definitely a good amount of drivers that would get mad about me not tipping.

 

[brendasdeadbaby]

Not for take out. Delivery is mandatory $5-$10 seeping how far the restaurant is from me

 

[cosmiccoffee9]

system's obviously broken and tipping is just another way for the capital class to externalize the true costs of doing business but until the means of production are seized my beliefs dictate I must tithe to the workers around me because they'll die otherwise so yes.

I’ll tip takeout but not the traditional 15-25%. I’ll throw a few bucks

I actually got called out for this. I tipped 50 cents on a to go package brewery buy (I did the waiting in line for a hyped release for an hour and tipped/rounded up). Come to find out, they changed the tip amount on me. I went to the bank right away. Everyone still sides with the brewery and calls me a cheap donkey. Never mind the fact the bartender illegally altered the tab $5-6.

I came across a Twitter post where they were discussing tipping regardless of how bad the services was. Had folks saying they're still tipping up to 30% for bad service. WTF?
