The restaurant owners are extremely wealthy and not only did they collect on the pandemic funds (utilized correctly), they also raised food prices and changed their menu to cut on costs. I find it very odd that now that most older wait staff is making $15, considered a living wage, and with tips it is higher, but the owners keep getting richer and richer.
Why am I subsidizing the owner's extravagant lifestyle so his employees can eat? why are teenagers making more than adults working in retail, education, or other professional jobs?
I don’t know what you are trying to say.
Me either. Sounds like the menu and prices changed due to inflation, yet waiters are still making $16-$20/hour, which is decent for a high schooler.

Never served food for pay in my life. I just tip because it is the right thing to do.
For doing their job?

DP - A lot of people who have been receiving the CTC for the previous six months woke up to a different world on January 15th. Have some pity of them (not too much since the rest of us have been talking about this since summer) - they were getting $900/mo if they had 3 kids and an endless amount depending on the number of children. Knew of someone with 11 kids taking in $3,000+ a month.
So yeah, even if it was 'just' $900 - who cares if you're tipping a little extra at your favorite restaurants. The price wasn't hurting your bank account before.

And if that makes you happy, you should continue. Don't preach though.

WHAT?! If you take-out from a place you normally eat-in, the same person is taking time away from tables (with tipping customers) to wrap up your food. TIP THEM.
It's a pandemic. Be as generous as you possibly can, especially if you have not lost employment, enjoyed flexible work from home options, and your retirement remains intact.

Remember this line from True Grit? "Ground's too hard. If them men wanted a decent burial, they should have gotten themselves killed in summer." This thread reminds of that line. If you want more money, you should have stayed in school"... LOL

I get one every year. What do you want to know?
I want to know if you tip for carry out.
Nope
That makes you a cheap bastard.
They probably believe in trickle down economics too. 🤦♀️
And are Ayn Rand disciples.
