Being overwhelmed with tip prompts has broken my tipping guilt. I feel like half the time people work don't get or see those tips.
Sit down restaurants absolutely. Delivery yeah.
Pick up nah, you walk something 2 feet to me nah. Fuck tipping culture, pay your people right and charge accordingly don't keep tacking on shit, tip charge, service charge, every other fucking sneak at the bill only charge now a days.
I was at a sit down recently where the lowest tip selectable without entering a dollar amount was 18%. 10% used to be the standard for competent service, 15%-20% for outstanding service. Now the quality of service is worse because they're underataffed, and they expect me to tip more?? Get real.
The lowest "suggested" option has crept up to 20% in many places. A 15% tip is already adjusted for inflation. Now you want 20?
My take on tipping: If I can't get the product without further employee assistance, I'm not tipping. Take a sandwich shop, for example. You're not going to let me behind the counter to assemble my sandwich, so I'm not going to tip you for doing it for me because I can't get the sandwich otherwise.
My only exception to this is a bar because I'm usually there for more than 1 drink, and it's nice not to be the last one to get served when it gets crowded.
I'm confused. At a sit down restaurant you can't just walk into the kitchen and make your meal, yet that is a standard place to tip.
I would absolutely tip at a sit-down place. But not if I were ordering take out from the same place.
