I have learned a lot from this thread , and from listening to the experts who have worked in the restaurant , the takeout person makes a higher wage that doesn't rely on tips, therefore you do not tip for takeout. Thank you,. I feel no guilt not tipping for takeout

That’s what I thought…

It’s not exactly a living wage though is it? You prob undertip your bartender as well.

You have “learned” something that is not true, from misinformed cheapskates on the internet. The vast majority of restaurant staff involved in your takeout order work on tips.

And yeah, even if that weren’t the case, you’re still a cheap asshole.

How is working at Mod Pizza any more taxing than working as a cashier in a grocery store? Or working in a dry cleaners? Or working at the drive-thru window at McDonald's for that matter? Why should we tip for takeout at Mod, but not at the grocery store, dry cleaners, and McDonald's?

Yeah. Quentin Tarantino already did this riff 30 years ago. Mr. Pink was a cheap f&ck then, and you are now. Seriously, have a modicum of pride and self respect. You’re this adamant about not giving an hourly worker a few dollars?

Interesting. So you tip the cashier that checks you out at WalMart? And you tip the person who hands you your sandwich at Chik-fil-A (and the one who took your order)? You tip the lifeguard at your community pool? You tip your child's daycare provider at Kindercare? You tip the parking lot attendant? And the ticket taker at the movie theatre? And more? All of the hourly workers you encounter in life you tip them 15-20%?

+1 I am interested in this question as well. Do you also tip the Amazon delivery driver? Or the courier who brings packages to your office?

For all the people repeatedly screaming about the necessity of tipping 15-20% for takeout (at places like Mod Pizza, Cava, Subway, Sweet Frog, etc.), why do you not answer this question?

I don't think they understand that the people who are working the take out counter (in most cases) are being paid at least minimum wage and are not making the same $3 an hour as servers. Unless the restaurant owner is running a shady business, these employees should be making comparable money to the counter service workers at Subway, etc.

But they ask for tips at some of those places too so who knows.

Every place I’ve ever gotten takeout from has some combination of bartender, server, host/hostess handling takeout orders. This requires their time and attention the same as dealing with someone who is dining in.

The lengths you cheapskates will go to to justify not giving 10 bucks to a teenager, or a single mom, or an immigrant likely working twice the number of hours in a week that you do is so pathetic. Lots of these people rely on public transport. You know how hard it is to be punctual, and how much time you lose by taking the bus everywhere? They often lack insurance. Ever been in that situation? They often live very far from their jobs given local housing costs, so they miss a ton of time with family and friends that you and I take for granted.

Just give them a f$cking tip, you selfish prick.

The cook/packer should be paid a salary. The tip is for service - bring food/items to the table and cleaning up.

Right, the “cook/packer” (whatever TF that is) at a restaurant is paid a salary.

I don’t doubt it. Many Americans have fully embraced being trash. You’re so miserable and unfulfilled that the brief surge of adrenaline you get from being an annoyance to other people is the only joy you can find.

I have started ordering take out via Uber eats just to avoid this issue!

Which costs you way more in fees. Brilliant!

There’s no fees. I just ordered and it was no fee, no tip, same price as in store.

That sounds odd, because there is usually a fee plus tip.on Uber eats, since someone is bringing the food to you.

But if you can't even calculate a 10% tip, you may not realize that.

There’s no tip or fee on pick up. Maybe you need help with calculations?

Now it is trashy to not give away your money just because? Tips are for service. The entitlement here is astounding.

Oh that's a great idea. I will start doing that. Thank you.

Why? You can just select no tip/bypass on the screen. If you are too chicken to do that, then I don’t know what to tell you.

I’m not tipping you, sorry hon. You can stop posting.

Im the the PP and I am advocating for not tipping! Just pointing out you shouldn’t be embarrassed to hit the no tip tab and try to skirt around it by carrying cash. As if that makes you feel like they won’t know? I don’t really see the difference

You are really deep into non of your business territory.

You made it everyone's business the moment you posted your inane ramblings on the internet, you nasty thing.

Why do people keep saying this? I have never once in my life tipped on a carryout order. A tip is for the service provided when you sit down and eat a meal. What service is being provided in a takeout order? Having a pleasant cashier?

If that’s the case, then you should tip at literally every business that you ever enter. Checking out at the supermarket, tip them. Buying some paint at Home Depot, tip them for answering your questions. Sorry but this is ridiculous.

Do people at Home Depot and the supermarket make “tipped minimum wage?” No, they do not.

Neither do maids in hotels, baristas, workers at the bakery counter, drive through workers and so on...but everyone wants a tip. The only people making “tipped” wages are restaurant servers serving dine in customers. That is what the tip is for. The dining service. Their employer is wrong is they are having them work a service that does not provide tips (take out) and still paying them the tipped wage. This is not a customer problem, it is an employer problem. Besides, they are legally entitled to minimum wage if they do not make it through tips. They can take that up with their employer.

But they don't have the power to change things. YOU might, if you spoke to the manager at your favorite restaurant and told them you disagree with the tipping system and that you'd simply rather they raised their prices.
