  It’s now expected that you tip even if YOU pick it up. I do not understand

    I don’t understand that one at all. Maybe a dollar or two but not 20%

      Some friends and I ordered 5 pizzas the other day, so our total was going to be about $100. I was going to pick it up and asked what everyone thought I should tip. Several of the people said 20%, but I was God damned if I was gonna pay someone $20 for me to pick up pizza from them.

        I remain confused about what you are tipping for at all for pickup orders? I assume you are under 30? Does purchasing food just equal tip, period? Is it totally detached from a service element and just a kind of bizarre tax for young Americans?

        It use to be a dollar or two per pizza. That was the going rate. Now they expect 20%. Delivery use to be free for pizza.

      Why tip anything if you are picking up? There is no service. Where do you think that money goes?

        It goes to the waitress. Normally I give it out of guilt. During Covid I gave because they were losing tips.

      Curious why a dollar or two? Do you just generally feel that food is underpriced? Is there a scenario where you would just pay the asked price?

        Not sure I understand the question.
