This new restaurant opened up behind my house and the food is amazing according to reviews.
First time we go in, we order at the front, PAY, then wait for our food.
I’ve never been here, why would i tip you BEFORE i get my food? I left no tip on the pinpad and gave them cash when we left. But the whole premise of tipping BEFORE a service is something rich people do to get better treatment at a country club or spa, not when we are buying food.

And even that is bullshit. Just pay your employees a normal salary and employees in turn should give all customers a good service
Local airport has a completely self served kiosk I usually get breakfast in when I travel.
Tips start at 25%
Its on the work card but even then I’d rather hit Custom 0
Pay tip at the bakery for them selling you a bread
Pay a tip at the parking place for the guy sitting there
Pay a tip at a weed store for them selling you weed
Pay a tip at the car dealer shop because your car just received maintenance
All these are tips I have refused to pay
I stand by you on this.
Ugh, I bet you people don’t even tip your landlord.

I never understood these. It’s not like I was provided a service. I feel like I was sold a product.
What, am I supposed to tip Walmart for groceries?

I worked with someone who changed my mind on this. She’d worked the take-out counter at a restaurant and she talked through the kinds of steps she took to ensure the meal was correct, containers were properly sealed, and they had utensils, napkins, sauces, and all the things the customer would need or expect.
Learning about the amount of time and care put in at that restaurant made it clear that it was a service.
I usually give 10% at restaurants with a similar service because of her. With takeaway restaurants where you just order at a counter, though? I generally only tip if the people working were super friendly.
I’d prefer to not have a tipping culture at all. But as long as this is the society we live in, I can afford to pay a couple extra bucks here and there to help people who generally make shit wages.

You just described elements which would meet the bare minimum in delivery of food from the counter.
If the store isn’t paying their workers enough to be able to deliver the bare minimum product being sold why should the customer have to make up the difference with a tip

you literally just described the bare minimum expectation for what the customer is buying from that company

I’m confused. Wouldn’t ordering takeout at the counter also require the worker to ensure that the meal is correct, containers are properly sealed, and extra items like napkins and sauces are included? I’m not necessarily saying that those duties aren’t tip-worthy, but it seems to me that the only difference between ordering online or over the phone vs ordering at the counter is whether they hand you the food directly or put it in a pickup shelf.

Uhhh, so they did their job? I had to make 30+ delivery orders a day, some of them with over 50 items. NO TIPS because it was my job to do that and make sure everything the customer paid for is in the bag.

I’m sure Walmart stock holders would enjoy that.
