A local restaurant started doing this down the street from me a couple months ago. How the absolute FUCK is this acceptable? (And no, I will never be going back there and will tell everyone I know that they undercook their burgers and have roaches.)

You know, I understand that this board is suppose to be about all food and not just cooking itself...

But do people really like to talk about the fucking takeout process enough to make an entire thread for it? Is there any more boring subject on this board?

I went to a restaurant that had an auto gratuity and then when I went to pay I had to press like 5 buttons to NOT add an ADDITIONAL tip, which of course defaulted to 20%

>Just raise your God damn prices and pay your employees more
Its the exact same thing
I can raise my prices by 15% or I can charge you a 15 % fee
Its the same goddamn thing
But if I do the service fee, customers feel like they are helping the staff and they feel better about the transaction
The only people that complain are zoomers and low income millennials that are only a small fraction of my business anyway

>> No.19515604

>>19515585
It's not about "zoomers" or low income millennials, it's about not wanting to be ripped off by restaurant scumbuckets. If I go to a restaurant just charge me the price and dont expect tips, I don't want to pay your fucking employees.

Imagine just complaining about the "tip" and making a scene. Pretty sure they'll remove it. If not, they wasted labor and food and it wouldn't be a sustainable business model

>> No.19515622

>>19515585
I am a chronic overtipper and if you're adding a mandatory gratuity to takeout I'm not ordering takeout from you. It doesn't make me feel like I'm helping the staff, it makes me feel like the restaurant is poorly managed.
On the other hand if you just raise your price by 15%, I'm not thinking about that. I may or may not order at that price point but it's solely a question of value for money at that point.

It's like when supermarkets want you to round up your change so they can give it to charity. Sounds like a nice gesture, right?
Well, say every customer of the hundreds said supermarket has everyday all round up and the average was about 33c. Pulling a number out of the air here, but let's say there were 300 customers on a given day. 300 x .33 = $99 x 31 days in the month they're doing this charity schtick = $3069 x the 200 locations this supermarket has = $613,800.
Sounds great. A charity is getting $600k. Except... the supermarket chain reaps the benefits of the tax deduction on a $600k charitable "donation" of money that's not theirs IE what you also donated was a tax loophole for the owners of the chain. They're not collecting money for charity. They couldn't give less of a tap-dancing fuck about chihuahuas with cleft palate in Madagascar. They're using you and your goodhearted nature to enrich themselves, first and foremost. The "charitable" side of it is entirely an afterthought.
This is the biggest /ck/-related scam ever, IMO
If they really gave a shit, they'd donate their own $$$ anonymously and not benefit at all not your $$$ and benefit from it.

I thought this was true too but did some research and it's actually not. They don't get the tax break. It's almost harder to believe it's not a grift than it being one. It's just done for publicity purposes

>What happens to the money you donate at the cash register?

>This is where you round up your bill to give to a charity designated by the retailer, and the donation amount appears on your receipt. The store serves only as a collection agent for your gift. Assuming the business is following the law, it will not include your donation as part of its business receipts, or income, nor will it claim the charitable gift as an expense.

>In other words, your gift has zero impact on the store’s income taxes.

#1 if tipping is supposed to subsidize underpaid and impoverished waitstaff
-BUT the tips dont go directly to the waitstaff/delivery and instead the companies for "reporting income" purposes
I FEEL like tips should count as tax write offs since restaurants and tipping places operate like nom profit corps solisiting donations, and those tips go to supporting disadvantaged and impiverished people.
#2 companies that use "reported tips" cannot claim tax write offs for employing people on welfare, excons, etc....
#3 companies that ask for tips as a part of service must prpvide their employees with health insurence

Idk but I wish more restaurants would do away with tipping entirely and simply pay their staff more. That'd weed out the ones who don't tip (blacks Jews and Indians) due to raised prices and I don't have to see shit about tipping everywhere anymore
