This is a major health code violation and it’s how customers get sick and even die. A small basket of chips (fried tortillas) is literally pennies. Why would a restaurant do this?
How are you going to die from nachos? This should be good.
First of all it’s chips not nachos. Nachos implies cheese and other ingredients. Second of all yes communal foods is a big no no especially after Covid.

You declined the chips what the problem??? This was a curtosey while you waited not a freebie.
Then you had them waste the guac and sour cream.

She brought out free chips and salsa while I waited, but I declined. Order was like $72, I left her $80 even. Some items came with sour cream and guac and we did not want those. When I asked the bartender to put the chips and lots of salsas in the bag she said that's an additional $10. Is that a bit petty? She literally just offered me those items for free.
OP, it's like asking for the peanuts or pretzels from the bar to be put in a to go bag.
Also, the tip seems really small.
She was generous for a to-go order.
No, she wasn't. She also sat at the bar and ordered a beer. That should be at least $2 tip. It was a very cheap tip.

Is it really so people drink more? We grabbed margs at the neighborhood taco restaurant last night and when we said we were just drinking, we were not offered the usual free chips and salsa.

Recycling patrons’ chips spreads disease and illness. Are you low IQ?
You really shouldn’t eat out at restaurants

It's this. But also seems silly not to just package up what OP was eating while she waited. It's a waste of food to just dump it.
They won't dump it. It will be reused. At least the chips.
DCUM would never eat out again if they saw what was going on the back of the kitchen.
They recycle those baskets of chips from people’s tables?! Yuck.
Yep! There’s a lot that goes on in kitchens that you probably don’t want to know.
When I waited tables in college, we brought complimentary bread to tables. We were instructed that bread that appeared to be untouched should be served again — even if you knew the guests had eaten a slice from the basket. I refused to do it. The manager would bust you if he saw bread in the trash, so I would mush it up and wrap it in napkins before throwing it out.
Uneaten bread from the basket has been recycled to another table in every restaurant I ever worked at.
Not in any I have worked in. We eat them though if too hungry.
