[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL. A lot of angry food servers here. [/quote]
I’d say there are a lot of entitled princes here who never served food, and it shows. [/quote]

I waited tables for 15 years on and off. I grew up in the restaurant industry and my parents ran a franchise of a deli that is popular in the South. Customer were nevvvvvvverrrr expected to tip, there was not even a tip jar. Every single person working there made minimum wage or more. Sometimes customers would leave a few dollars because of food being delivered and the tables being cleaned but it wasnt expected because it isnt being served and the restaurant bore the cost of paying their employees (what a novel idea!).

I do not tip 20% for takeout but we only takeout at places like MOD, Chipotle, Nandos,BGR. Those employees are paid minimum wage. I would not tip if I walked into the listed restaurants and was never expected to. It is not the same as say getting takeout from Outback, which traditionally has their own takeout person who makes a wage between server and minimum. If it is a restaurant that has serving staff, you need to tip any staff that serve you because restaurants love to play with positions and pay to get the most out of their employees with the least money.

I do tip at places like First Watch, local restaurants that have sit down service, etc.

If there are less restaurants the ones that exist will be busier. [/quote]
