Either way they get the money from the customer. If they pay waiters $20 an hour, then the food and drink prices go up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have no issue changing to it. Some restaurants have tried but it is difficult because of the ways each government works with health care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shooter McGavin 589 Posted October 28, 2022 4 hours ago, WhiteWonder said: well that's different. I don't really order from chain pizza places and would view them like I view McDonalds. I was talking about local pizza places where I know who I spoke to when I placed my order... and again, all that person is doing is taking my order when I call and ringing me up when I pay. Someone else is cooking the pizza, who I would also not be tipping if I was dining in. My tip would be for my server. Maybe they pool the tips, maybe not.. that's not my concern. Either tip or don't tip, but all this rationalization or questioning about how much they make or who gets it is stupid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,772 Posted October 28, 2022 I only tip Americans. Unless they have nose rings, lots of tattoos and green/pink/blue hair/frosted hair and all that other crap. I donate food to the local food bank though. This is America. We don’t let anyone go hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rationalization is part of life we rationalize everything we do. I started the topic because I was curious how other geeks handled it and their reasons why 2. I’m not questioning how much anyone makes. Just a simple observation that delivery drivers and waiters/waitresses count on tips, which I give because I am being served. Those people are not serving me when I pick up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 991 Posted October 28, 2022 I tipped 10% ahead of time while placing my order for curbside pickup (last weekend) and they forgot to include the French fries. So I had to go in, find her, tell her she forgot the fries and wait. No more pre-tip, or probably no tip at all for curbside pickup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Correct, there was a time when every bartender was better off than I was. Why would I give them my rent money. tipping is an American thing, I don’t get it but I guess It makes some people feel good.
