How is this OK? Don't give me your "don't order there if you don't like it bullshit." How is it OK for a restaurant to charge you extra for non-service? You're picking it up yourself, obviously they have to put it in some kind of container so it's not a "service" as they're trying to twist it to seem. In case you're wondering, no I will never order from this restaurant again, but it seems that they now seem justified in doing this. So how is it OK?

we let tipping culture come to life. and the employees themselves will defend it because they make way more money under this nationwide shaming campaign than with an actual wage

AFAIK some places require restaurant owners to pay waiters up to a minimum Salary if they don't make enough through tips. So short answer is the Manager/Owner is a Kike.

it's not ok. don't order from there if you don't want to pay it.

I'm an incel. I am a NEET. I have no friends. I have never had a romantic relationship. I have never had sex. I am prospectless. All I have is the validation I get from other anti-social and resentment-fueled losers online when I post nigger and woman hate threads. Society failed me. I should've had a fulfilling career, friends, sexual conquests, romantic love,and valuable social experiences yet I was given nothing.

Why should I tip a society that owes me so much? When I see a waitress or employed people I am brought close to tears. They are probably sexually active. They probably have friends. They are employable. They don't spend most of their waking hours blaming others for their misfortune. What do I have in common with them? I start shaking with anger.
They might as well be aliens. I tell myself they are robots, NPCs, devoid of an internal monologue, devoid of depth, devoid of a rich inner life. That makes me feel better momentarily, even if I know it's a lie. What do I owe them?

I will never tip. Not until society gives me what I am entitled to.

I could understand some sort of surcharge for waitresses to have to interrupt their waitressing to handle a takeout order, but 15% is way tf too high. Them taking care of you might have cost them timely service for a sit-in customer. Takeout notwithstanding, every restaurant is sit-in first.

>> No.18956607

>>18956532
Perhaps they really don't want to deal with takeout and are actively trying to disincentivize it while boosting their tip pool for staff.
As an aside I could get away with not interacting with door dash/uber eats I would, but unfortunately I can't so I just set the menu prices higher to recoup some of the losses from the cut uber takes and the occasional remakes when delivery drivers just take food.

Why? The price charged is the price you pay for something you buy. A tip is a bonus a customer decides to give for a job well done. Calling it gratuity doesn't change the essence of a tip.

I sometimes tip my butcher, fishmonger or fruit and veg guy at the farmer's market. I never tip someone working in a pub because pub owners earn more than enough to pay proper wages and they blatantly exploit their staff. That's my prerogative alone. Pub owners can fuck right off.

Again, a restaurant is for sit-in dining; takeout is an added convenience. 15% is certainly too high, but it's not unfair to charge something for pulling someone from table waiting to hand you a bag.

They're taking the time to bag the food as well, then intertupting their routine to give immediate service to someone that walks in the door, so you're not really getting that much less. You could always fill out a waitress application and lend a hand.

Everyone in this thread that is pro tipping or shitting on OP is a shill or someone who works at or owns one of these fucked up restaurants. There is no reason to eat out.

I think what rubs be wrong way here is calling non-optional 15% price hike "gratuity" and then "thanking" for it - because it sounds entitled and like they are mocking you.

If they called it "packing services fee" or something, it would still be high, but less grating.

The fact of the matter is, if you're almost breaking the bank because you're ordering food from expensive burger restaurants, you shouldn't be ordering food period.

Learning to cook hamburgers is fairly cheap, and very easy. Ordering such food from a restaurant is something intended for people who have the money to throw around, that's what restaurants are, paying extra money for convenience and servitude because you can.

Anon, restaurants are all overpriced. If you get something as simple as bacon and eggs at a restaurant, you're overpaying for it. As I've repeated, restaurants are only for people who have the money to spend flippantly in the first place. If you want to be frugal, restaurants are not for you, cooking is.

Yeah but what you're not undertanding is that everyone is not right by their home or kitchen so sometimes one has to go out to buy some stuff, and sometimes it's not about being "frugal" it's not about about that every second of the day.

It's not to guilt people. But they fear an empty tip jar shows ppl that "well, noone's tipping; place must suck;" so they prime it with a few bucks. You can tell it's an obvious plant if you're the first customer of the day or it's packed with 5s and 10s.
