SHOULD I TIP? CHEAT SHEET

Tip is expected, food and service was good: TIP YES
Tip is not expected, food and service was good: TIP YES
Tip is expected, food and service was bad: TIP NO
Tip is not expected, food and service was bad: TIP NO

>>19174515
you've got a good point, but I just rate something based on an average. in conversation I have the ability to say something like "when it's good it's good and when it's bad it's bad" i.e. mcdonalds fries

Franchisees are required to meat certain standards as part of their contract. If an outlet fails, the brand fails.

Simplified

here in America establishments can pay significantly less hourly wage if the staff is considered "tipped" employees

>>19175258
It's really bizarre how it's considered normal to have customers pay employee wages directly instead of the employer. Imagine if you bought some stuff at the grocery store and then had to pay the cashier extra so the corporation that owns him doesn't have to.

>>19175558
It's an outdated pay system that's a holdover from the Great Depression. But a lot of waiters like it because they don't report their cash tips and therefore are taxed less. Which is based, fuck the tax man.
If you wanted to match that with taxable income you'd need to pay waiters a lot more which most places aren't willing to do

Sometimes I wish I could top the kitchen staff at a fast food place that does a good job. I'm not too familiar with other places but preparation makes a huge difference at Taco Bell.
>>19174889
Ayy no tip crew. Based.

>>19175561
They deserve less net income and should be contributing more to the cost of the socieety they're leaning on.

>>19174515
I get takeout from the same place every couple of weeks and I don't tip since they're not serving me. Am I an asshole? For that reason specifically not in general

>>19175579
I do (couple bucks) because it's the local spot and they make the best pizza in town.

>>19174515
because the purpose isnt to rate the food, but trick you into giving permission for a third party to harvest your data.

>>19174842
On the one hand, people should expect that their food will deteriorate in the 30 minute car ride from restaurant to door.

On the other hand, restaurants should understand what is and isn't delivery friendly.

Anything hot and crispy will arrive warm, floppy and damp. Anything cold is going to warm up. I have 0 idea why places offer fried chicken and ice cream on these services, literally 0 chance it'll be satisfactory.

these comics are all so fucking terrible lmao

t. a low iq kid

>>19175791
>all that for $12.95
I want to go back. Even with a coupon that would be $30 today.

>>19175864
I can get a bag of food delivery racket for $8 most weeks. You have to subscribe to the official apps for the good discounts.

i never tipped once in my life and never will

>>19175876
...also black lives matter, and all that jazz.

>>19175791

>>19175875
You can get 2 large pizzas, 4 large drinks (possibly milkshakes), AND a family sized bag of miscellaneous items for $8 including delivery fees?

>>19175894
Please stop taking yourself so seriously. Your opinions and observations aren't that interesting.

>>19175900
I don't remember asking your opinion on the matter.

>>19174842
>>its barerly warm by the time it the driver gets it to me
>dumbfuck has to have it delivered, can't drive 2 minutes to the actual restaurant

>>19174842
it's the restaurant's responsibility to provide adequately insulated packaging so it's the restaurant's fault if the food goes cold. the delivery driver used his insulated delivery bag to shield that package from the elements but it's the restaurant's responsibility to provide the packaging. if it's not insulted for hot food then you suffer the bad reviews.

>>19175744
>Anything hot and crispy will arrive warm, floppy and damp
restaurants know this because one time i had to deliver crispy chicken and the chef cut the corner off the plastic lid on the container to vent the steam so it remained crisp when it arrived to the customer. but the idiot customer gave me a negative review accusing me of damaging the package because the corner of the lid was missing. dumb cunt.

driving is hard when you're drunk

>>19174515
The whole point of eating fast food is consistency, you should be able to get the exact same bean burrito from a Taco Bell in Los Angeles as you do in New York. If I go there expecting to get consistency and don't get it, there would be no better reason for me to give a negative review.

>>19175918
>how DARE you make use of a service we provide!

>>19175944
>The whole point of eating fast food is consistency
but then it would be called consistency food

>>19174856
Tipping is meant to insult people who you feel superior to.
So you should either not tip because you want to do this, or you should not tip because you don't want to do this.

>>19175579
Nah, there's only 2 spots that I do that with. Pizza place by my house that's always been really cool and will give me free stuff sometimes. The other is this Chinese place and I'm pretty sure it's 1 old guy. Foods good, he's nice, seems lonely abd exhausted, I tip him every time even if it's take out.

>>19175965
yup. i know i feel insulted every time someone gives my money (that i worked for) O_o

>>19175864
I was going to order a medium pizza, a garden salad and a 2 liter the other day. $35

>>19175949
Although logical, that doesn't do well in focus group testing.

>>19175999
why should a big mac in paris taste the same as a mexican big mac?

>>19176012
No one said that. LA and NYC are in the same country.

>>19175910
calm down bro he only said the food delivery racket was $8

>>19176036
africa?

>>19175949
goddamn this joke fucking sucks

>>19174515
>restaurant has thousands of 4-5 star reviews
>have a meal there
>food is overpriced and painfully mediocre
>even if I left a 1 star review it wouldn't budge the overall rating

>>19175935
And I'll do it again, queer

i dont mind tipping here but here its like if your total is 13.80 euros you give them 14.
Not fucking 20% or whatever arbitrary percentage americans demand.
