[quote=Anonymous]Tipping is discretionary. You SHOULD always tip for table service and bar service. Tips for servers and bartenders are how they make their living. But take-out is totally optional in my opinion. I feel like it was something that started with COVID when servers were trying to make ends meet and has just gotten totally out of control. Servers and bartenders make tipped employee wages. Hostesses and counter-service employees make minimum wage. I will often tip $2-3 for take-out but I will not leave 15-25% for someone who didn't give me the same level of service as a server would for the same amount. That's just stupid on my part. If I want to pay 20% more, I'll sit down and let someone else take care of the work. Handing me a bag is not worth 20% of the bill. It's just not.

But it is NEVER ok to tell a customer that they need to tip you. I have worked in at least 6 different restaurants ranging from national chains to mom and pop to fine dining. Every single one of them would have fired me on the spot if I did that.
