Seeing 15-20% price increases at my favorite restaurants , not tipping will just carry out

[Anonymous]

I can't do it, I am just going to not tip and carry out , it's not worth it to me.

I didn't notice the inflation until this week but it really was shocking

Same. we have cut way back on dining out and even on carry out we only tip a couple dollars.

We quit going to full service restaurants. Just not worth it anymore. Too expensive!

I stopped dining in, too, and never tip on takeout.

It's really tough because I often want to patronize the restaurant specifically because I have such a good, long history with them, and care about both the business and the staff. But we honestly cannot afford it. We used to go out to eat once a week as a treat, but now we do other things instead, or splurge on expensive food to cook at home. We can make steak from our favorite butcher and a few sides and chocolate cake for a quarter what we'd pay at a restaurant that will likely be understaffed. It's worth the effort.

You really need to tip on takeout too. Don’t be cheap.

We have been tripping 15-20% on takeout but I am so close to stopping with the price increases. But I don’t want them to spit in my food.

Um, my weekly groceries went from $275/week to $400/week maybe 3 months ago. Roughly 50% increase. So 20% increase at a restaurant is forgiving.

Are you getting a 20% raise? Who's fault is this. Why isn't this problem ba priority

Yeah, screw the workers

Don’t be surprised when your favorite restaurants are gone.

D.C. Some restaurants are charging as much as 22% of a service fee, and in some cases they are doing away with tips.

Ok. Karma will get you, but ok.

Same

You still need to tip on carryout. If it’s too expensive to eat restaurant food then make your own meals. The workers shouldn’t have to pay the price.
