[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Watch The Bear on Hulu and you’ll see how takeout orders are actually a decent amount of work.  Just tip a few bucks. [/quote]

Then restaurants should just charge a bit more for take out instead of leaving it to some "ethical conundrum" everyone must go through for a simple transaction.  It's a simple exchange of goods for money, and cost of goods should include the "service" of someone packaging it and giving it to us.  Just like cost of everything you buy has labor cost embedded in it.  Are you saying factory workers,  delivery people,  drivers, cleaners don't do decent amount of work, and we should be figuring out how much to tip for everything we consume?

And it's getting worse now and becoming like extra tax on top of your purchase as it gets embedded into the electronic card payment terminals where you are asked to give PERCENTAGE of the cost of what you are buying not simply dropping a buck or some coins into a tip jar. You have to go through more complicated process to enter a custom amount and you feel guilty to enter 1 dollar, which is what you would usually drop into a tip jar (or some coins).  With electronic tipping you don't even know where the tip goes and who collects it and if it is fairly distributed.  Some restaurants still charge pandemic recovery surcharge too even though things are back to normal for a while now and they are packed. It's extra taxation IMHO.  Just be honest about it. [/quote]
