[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I asked this question on Tom Siestema's weekly WaPo chat a few years ago and he explained it -- basically, it's usually packaged up by people like the bar tender or someone else that would be making tips and is taking time out from that to package your food and ring it up.  I think he recommended something like a 10% tip on takeout at a regular restaurant (not at a coffee shop or fast food restaurant).  That is what I was doing until the pandemic.

With the pandemic, I think those people are entitled to sort of hazard pay tipping, so I am tipping more like 18-20% on takeout orders at a regular restaurant, and now doing something like 10-15% at a coffee shop.  [/quote]
Weird
Just because a business is giving you what you ordered

Can that be compared to a cashier' packing your food at a grocery store?

Either way, how much time is that? It is not like the waiter will provide you with extra sauce because you asked or refill your drinks or wipe the table[/quote]
