We need a federal tipping handbook in the USA. I'm totally confused.
If the person putting together the order makes under minimum wage you should tip.
So if you're picking up from Dominos no tip.
If you're picking up from an actual restaurant tip.
Otherwise everyone else is subsidizing your meals.
People that want tiping gone wouldnt be able to afford to go out to eat. Prices would go up big time, and many of your favorite restaurants would go under. Its really not that bad.. If i like the service i tip well, ive been in their shoes. Waiting tables fuckin blows.
Ok..I don't generally tip much for takeout....but over $700?
If you order $700 from a restaurant, yeah, you fucking tip.
That's a lot of food , a lot of money, give a tip.
Not rocket science. Just common sense.
So many places do it now if you pay with a card. Then they look at you funny when you leave the tip line blank. Why the fuck would I tip?? You didn't serve me shit or do anything.
No tipping works in Korea and Japan and China. And service on average is on par with or better than USA. Make portion seizes smaller, pay servers more perhaps?$700 is alot of food. Multiple trips to the car, bagging up that much food is a pain in the ass.
She likely had tables that needed her attention, but had to spend time dealong with this huge call in order
Shes directing her anger at the wrong people though. Managment should have been dealing with that shit not a server. Shes dumb for bitching on facebook, im sure she finds a better restaurant to work for
I wouldnt have tipped on the same scale as if i sat down at ate, but i would have at the very fucking least tipped $10 to $20. These servers dont make money hourly. (i know $2.15 an hour, but after you tip out the bar and your expos and runners you make negative money if nobody tips correctly)

FWIW, where I live (South Florida) there are so many Europeans that a lot of places, especially in coastal touristy locations, just add 15% to the bill.As mentioned throughout the years of tipping threads, America should stop this tipping crap to avoid stupid incidents like this.
Add a mandatory 10%+- service charges on receipts like most Asia countries. And some of you call us third world countries with our metrics and all.
In the US at least, most places will specify that the delivery fee doesn't go to the drivers. Considering that, I tip the drivers, although not as much as servers, closer to 10% than 20%. Whether the establishment has a delivery fee or not doesn't really effect what I tip. If I knew that drivers were already getting a delivery fee, I would tip less or perhaps not at all. I don't typically tip Uber Eats drivers for instance.I tip the drivers in the uk if the takeaway dont charge a delivery fee. If they do why should I then give the delivery guy a tip when im already paying for delivery.
She should have realized there wasn't going to be a tip when no other servers were fighting her to take the food to them instead.
