Even for pick up when you’re not a regular?

Good on ya!

(I’m a firm 20% when I’m sitting down but I decline to tip when picking something up at least half the time. Definitely tipped 2020-2 though.)

I usually do 10% on pickups, the cooks still deserve something for their work

How about a fair wage?

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

It makes me feel a little better that all of them here in California are making at least minimum (as opposed to the sketchy “tipped minimum“). Buttttt minimum usually sucks (maybe $20’s OK living with parents?), so 10% is great man.

at the restaurant i work at, we pool tips, and just cause you aren't eating in doesn't mean us in the kitchen worked any less hard on it. in fact, it's more work for me to do to-go orders, but folks seldom tip on them. it is very frustrating to me. had somebody place a $1200 order a couple weeks back, and even split 5 ways, a 15% tip on that order alone would've made it a good day, but i don't think they tipped a single cent.

Look at your boss and be angry, not the customers. You should not be in a tipped position as a cook.

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

nobody should be in a tipped position as anything, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tip when you know people depend on it to put food on their own table. if i can't afford to tip, i don't eat out. simple as.

i can hate my boss, and the whole system he's a symptom of, and be disappointed at the customers for not showing a bit of solidarity, don't worry.

Have you considered different job?

Tip is an appreciation for the good service and it is entirely optional. Your basic wage should be sufficient to live on.

Haha, yeah I do it out of fear of restaurant workers and you all should too if you know what's good for you! Like, they literally have time alone with the food you're going to eat!

The vast majority of food service workers won't mess with your food because they're decent people who are used to the abuse and slander (or libel in this case) that customers throw at them. There are other food service workers who won't do it because they care about food safety. There are still others who won't mess with your food because they'll be fired if they're caught doing it. These three groups will talk shit about you if they think you're out of earshot.

Then there are the rare cases where the person is too vindictive and too short-sighted and might mess with your food (but will likely be caught by someone who will fix or remake it before it gets to you). These people never last long in the industry as the rest of us hate them more than customers and will drive them out.

🙂

I remember the general attitude of folks who’d post on reddit claiming to be food service workers was very upset that people joked about them messing with food. So I hope that means it's exceedingly rare.

I think they said they would bad mouth people out of earshot or something though!
