Am I tipping the cook or the person that Tetris’d that $65 of Moo Goo Gai Pan and 3 fortune cookies because they assumed it was for 3 people in the paper bag?
I’m giving somebody money to put food in a sack for me?
Or do we?
I thought tipping was for being waited on. This is getting expensive.
You don't go to the kitchen and box it up yourself. Someone brings it out to you. By definition that is being waited on. While it isn't like eating in, you are still being waited on. I don't tip as much as I do when dining in, but that to me is worth a couple bucks. The only place I don't tip is a concession stand for the most part. I tip a buck or two at chipotle, subway, jersey mikes, etc.
You should definitely tip to-go orders, but no need to tip like you were dining in. They aren't refilling my drink, bringing me condiments, cleaning up my table, or dealing with my kids.
You think this is the same as someone busting their *** to take care of a table for 45 minutes or an hour? It’s not the same. As others have said it’s good to give something, but these are not equal.
A lot of stadium workers cannot accept tips.
Did you even read my post? I specifically said that it isn't the same as dining in but you said tipping is being waited on. Someone bringing you out a to go order and giving it to you is still being waited on. If you don't want to tip for that, then you shouldn't have phrased your initial post differently. That's on you.
Again, someone is carrying the food to you while you wait either sitting in a car or at a table/bar. That is waiting on you. It is a simple concept. You just can't admit you phrased your initial post wrong. Again, that is on you.
This is nonsense. Do you tip the person at the drive through window? Or the person who carried the food to them to then hand to you? Have you ever? No, because it’s a ludicrously stupid notion. Handing me the food I bought is what they’re paid to do.
Your husband must be happy!
You weren't arguing that it was the same as a waiter. You said they weren't waiting on you and they were. Fast food and to go orders from a restaurant aren't the same thing. Fast food workers make at least minimum wage. Those delivering the to go orders in a sit down restaurant are still waiters. They just happened to be assigned the to go area for that shift. They make a couple bucks an hour because they are waiters regardless of what their assignment is so for that particular reason so they still depend on the tips. You can change your argument all you want but those people are still waiting on you when you continually claim they aren't. I agree it is nonsense. It is nonsense that you can't admit you are wrong in your initial post.
Tip the kid at the drive through, cheapskate. He handed you your food, after all.
If they don't get it in tips employers would have to pay them properly or they wouldn't have anybody to do it. I'm not tipping for pickup. Do you tip the window at fast food restaurants?
