[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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

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.  [b]They can take that up with their employer[/b].  [/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.  [/quote]

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

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.[/quote]
