[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure this has already been pointed out, but servers and bartenders (who are tipped employees) give the food runners, bussers, and sometimes hostesses a % of their tips based on food sales. When you don’t tip on takeout, you are taking money out of their pockets.[/quote]
This. It took a long time for someone to say it.We need to fix this at my restaurant. I'm usually the one who is in the front while others are who knows where. I get caught by the to-go order crowd. At the end of the night, it's $100-$200 of sale I have to tip out to 3 people.
I don't have that money. It comes from the tip I made at the tables. At minimum, go to the bar and order, because our bartender doesn't tip anyone out. He/she is more of a service bartender.
I know it's hard to know and not customers problem, but yes, she probably had to use money from other tables. Tip enough to cover her loss.
She was extremely rude though by pointing it out. I have seen it done only 5 times in my 25 year career. All people who did that were somehow strange in other ways- just the way they think and things they say.
We went out yesterday and the tip was already entered for us at a Mexican restaurant and it was 22%. Service wasn't worth that and I don't even remember when we got good service last time.[/quote]

Who wants to sit around the bar, place a new to go order and wait for it?

If you’re picking up at a place with a hostess, would you tip? How about at a place with no front of the house (like Panera)?

In addition to the screen asking for a tip (as the employee is watching to see what you do), [b]another detested thing is when you order a pick up order online and it’s impossible to complete the transaction without entering some tip.[/b] [/quote]

Most of us want to tip and don't mind.[/quote]

Do you think so after reading these answers? Seems pretty split, no![/quote]

I do mind particularly at places where they aren't actually servers. [/quote]
