For service …. But just taking your order and money and handing u the food that is what your employer pays you to do. My daughter gets paid $12 an hour to take ur order and hand the food . As a former waitress I got paid $2 per hour and had to bring ur food to the table along with additional items throughout your meal. That is a server and deserves a tip. Even then sometimes the small tip would barely get me to minimum wage. That’s the difference. You get at least minimum to hand me my food which takes all of 3 min versus me serving you for 30 min to an hour.

Because it meant a restaurant might have to pay unemployment wages to every unskilled POS that walked through their door.

Ok and? Just don't tip and go on with your day.

Sometimes, it really pays to tip! During one vacation I was wandering around the swanky hotel shops in the lobby. In one shop I found the large bars of the fantastic soap we got, in the 1/4 sized version, in our room. It was priced at $60! I surely wasn’t going to pay that for a bar of soap no matter how good! I always tip housekeeping staff, and really wanted to take some of that soap home so I left a note for the housekeeper asking if she could leave a couple extra bars for us. I left the note, my standard tip, and an extra $20 on the note. When we returned to the room later that day I was shocked! Not only did she leave a thank-you note on my note and extra towels she literally filled the entire bathroom sink with those very expensive soaps! Wow, there was easily over 100 bars in that sink! Wonderful!

I was the general manager at a cookie shop couple years ago. Our employees were pretty much all college students who got paid between 17 and $20 an hour. A lot of the stores around us were starting to implement those cash registers with the tip screen on the other side and we did not have it But We did have a tip jar. almost had a mutiny at my store because of it. It’s just amazing to me the entitlement of some of these people when they’re getting paid $20 an hour and feel like they also deserve getting all these tips as well. You know when you hit zero on those stupid screens For tip you almost feel like they’re gonna not put as much care in preparing your stuff. It’s truly sad.

This all started with Covid, during the shutdowns. People felt bad for businesses and waitstaff that weren't making money. So we tipped generously on take out. But like most things, once they're in place, they're not going away.

I wrapped soup/sauce in plastic wrap so they wouldn't leak. I tucked mints in each order and gave them a genuine smile and thank you when the customers came to get their order.

She originally responded by saying that she charged me for 3 pancakes. I then informed her that I'd been there the past two days and was only charged $6.57. It was only then that she informed me that she added a 90 cent gratuity even though I drove to pick up the order. She was so surprised that I caught on to what she did and was sweating profusely even though there was only one table in the entire restaurant. Ugh, I felt so violated.

Tips are for when a service is performed, and the tip is after their service (not before) so you can consider the quality of the person's service on the tip amount. I don't tip when I am already paying for a service, such as a haircut UNLESS they went above and beyond. For instance, a few months ago the guy who cuts my hair took me in even though it was about to be closing time. Most certainly getting a tip there.

BTW don't ever add the tip on your card or To the bill, always separate the two because most times Tips are factored into that persons wages.

I've been in the restaurant field for 31 years, let me tell you my perspective: Fast food: drive-through or online ordering, don't tip... The employees are making above minimum wage and aren't doing anything extra for this service. If you order takeout from a sitdown restaurant, In most cases the servers who make less than minimum wage are the ones packing your food, gathering your condiments and drinks together for your order... and most importantly taking their time away from their tipping tables within the restaurant to get your order ready, they deserve no less than a 10% tip. The pandemic drove to-go orders up significantly, restaurants were the 2nd hardest hit after manufacturing for employees, and 4 years later, they still have major issues finding qualified employees.

Problem I have with tipping valets is that I want to self park, but they don’t even give that option. And most of the time I’m on a job there. (Independent Contractor). So if you don’t give me any other option I don’t want to give you extra money.

This might be the new norm for some people, but not me. If they didnt deliver the food to my house and I didnt eat the food in their restaurant, then I do not owe anyone a tip. In fact, im cheap so thats why I usually pick up my own pizzas. Because I dont wanna pay the ever increasing delivery fees and then a 20% tip on top of that. What was supposed to be a 14 dollar pizza somehow turns into nearly a 30 dollar pizza when its all said and done. Its ridiculous..

Exactly!!!!! Spot on. I am the same way. It's not being cheap it's called being financially wise. All these 'add ons' makes the cost of things ridiculous. We don't have money to throw around. I ALWAYS tip well for delivery and restaurants, but I rarely get delivery anymore because of the 'delivery fees' that get added on in addition to the tip.

I’ve been not even halfway done with my meal, and had American waiters drop the bill on my table and say “no rush.”

Went to a restaurant to pick up a to go order, I paid with a large bill. And after taking four steps to hand me my order she asked if I wanted my change. I said no and never went back.

When asked to donate to a charity at the checkout stand my answer is always, "no, not today." Don't they take that money and donate it and take the corporate tax deduction? It seems illegal that they donate other people's money and get a tax credit.

@@privettoli - it makes a bit of difference at tax time but not in the day-to-day for most employees in the restaurant industry as most don't receive a paycheck due to the very low hourly wage... I bartended when making $2.13 and at $4.26 per hour in the same place--all paychecks were ZERO dollars and ZERO cents. Again, it helped when filing taxes but not significantly unless a homeowner or having other big deductions which aren't very common for people working in that industry. The reward employers can, and do, give are better shifts and better sections... it's a raise based on merit but it doesn't come out of the employer's pocket. Still a win-win-win.

Agree other than 'leaving a tip on the bed" for "that" nice person to pick it up. Who will pick it up? All those who know how the system works and manage to sneak into the room the moment the guest leaves. Always give a tip directly to the one who deserves it and actually did the service.

I use to be a server and yes, always tip something on to go orders, especially in regular restaurants. Believe it or not, your servers, even for to gos, put more work than you think into it. They take the order, put the order in, bag it up, sometimes they are the ones preparing the salads, they make sure nothing is forgotten, that you have your condiments. So yes, always tip on to goes.

Tipping did not become an issue until the pandemic arrived. During those 2 years I tipped like crazy to help businesses stay afloat. But after the pandemic, those businesses got used to that extra income that customers provided for their employees. Most businesses still don't have competitive pay to keep up with inflation caused by the pandemic.
