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.

Sure they do. What they don't have is courage to speak up.

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.

First, kudos for posting in the wrong place! I can see I'm dealing with a real Mensa candidate. Second, un-unionized laborers are usually not successful at enacting change by requesting it from their employers. How do you think this convo will go?

Server: I think I deserve to be paid minimum wage.

Restaurant owner: No

End scene.

Or they can quit and get a job where they feel fairly compensated. I don’t feel morally obligated to give extra dollars to someone for nothing. I already paid for the goods and services.

This, at the bottom rungs of the economy, there has never been more opportunity to move on to a better situation. I don't see why we should be expected to subsidize restraunts paying workers manning takeout windows (hello Chilis) tipped minimum wages

Absolutely no tip on carry outs. So sick of this tip culture.

But you're not sticking it to the restaurants. If you're mad at their compensation model, stop going there AND TELL THEM WHY. All you're doing is penalizing the people at the "bottom rungs", as you yourself put it.

No, if you are mad about compensation, you QUIT. It is a free market. Owners will start increasing wages when people refuse to work for them for lower.

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

So this was never about the inflation and restaurants and it’s just a way to start a tipping rant fest? Wow. You do know your audience. Food prices will continue to go up regardless of tipping or not. This entire thread is inane.

I'm over it. I'm only leaving $1 each time moving forward. The kids at the local cafes we go to frequently are not paid less than min wage, why is that tip default on the screen 15%, 20% and 25% (!!!!) to bag a freaking $50 order? These kids must be making hundreds of dollars each shift to essentially be cashiers?

You know the cashiers have no control over what’s on the screen, right? Your anger is misplaced.

We tip over 20% on carryout because we only order from favorite neighborhood restaurants and want them to survive these times. We can afford it. Hopefully this helps balance out the people who can't afford to tip as much.

If you do not tip, people don't eat. Is their salary. Please tio.

If people stop eating out, those jobs go away.

We've scaled back on dining out to effectively never. We get a takeaway once every two weeks. We do get bakery goods every weekend. And no, I don't tip at the bakery.

Dining out is really very expensive these days. But with inflation everywhere, rising gas costs and the utilities bill going through the roof, and supermarket bills getting bigger every week, we have to cut out eating out as much as possible. And to be frank, I've come to realize I don't miss it.

Is there any better gig in food service than the to-go clerk? They must make hundreds of dollars per shift for basically nothing. While the people in the back actually slaving over the stoves, with actual talent, make peanuts. It's totally unfair.

Ok then - You can field the call and take the order with all modifications and then once the kitchen makes the dishes you can box it all up nicely so that the food transports without getting gross and soggy and be sure to put and package all sauces drinks etc in secure non spill containers and the take payment with customers and make sure their correct order is handed to them. By all means. Or just take the dishes away from the kitchen and hope for the best. Cheap ass.
