[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1. I don't tip for takeout. We are in Austin, and the prices have risen astronomically, we do mostly take outs only due to the same reason. The madness has to stop. The labor market is tight right now, if the waiters are not making enough, they should consider alternate careers. Look at how many teachers quit in the pandemic. A few teachers in my kids school went to  higher paying corporate learning & development jobs[/quote]

I agree.  I am also tired of the "Support Restaurants/Restaurant Workers" narrative that is all over social media these days.  I just saw something today that was posted by an Influencer I follow on Instagram, where he was imploring people to go out dine in restaurants because January is such a tough month for restaurants/restaurant workers, and they all struggle to make rent in January.  The restaurant industry is a billion dollar industry - if it needs to resort to basically begging for charity diners on social media, the industry is seriously broken and there is a major reckoning coming.   Nobody has any patience for the MLM "Boss Moms" on social media that harass their friends into supporting their "business" by joining their team or buying their leggings/skin care/diet shakes, etc. etc.  How are these restaurant owners and restaurant workers any different?  If you need to resort to harassing your friends or the public into supporting your business, you have a failing business model and you need to go out of business.  [/quote]

This!  I don’t think it’s my job to support a whole industry.  Why stop at industry x and why not industry y?   It’s a slippery slope.[/quote]
