But I want that bagel...
It's a matter of principle.
If you leave a tip, the terrorists win.
Honestly that's kind of what they are
They set up a system so they can pay less to their workers, AND get their customers and workers to blame each other for it. They're scammers, not terrorists.
Intimidation free bagels taste better though
*240dB alarm triggers*
This kills everyone near by, and might bring down the building.
pressuring me THAT HARD to give you free money when i already bought your stuff is a sure way to make me cancel the purchase and never return.
I always tip well, but in this case my love of loud alarms would win out
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?
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.
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!

Love it 🙂
You reminded me of this guy:
Canned immediately!
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.
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.
I’m okay with punishing everyone else with that deafening alarm.
Definitely hitting the alarm and walking out of there ... I'll let them deal with the noise
slowly puts ear buds in and sets noise canceling to 100% as the cashier slowly realizes what I’m about to do
They never asked for this. Give 'em the disposable foamies and make eye contact while pushing no.
I don't mind tipping but I it is my choice not yours
Fine by me, Im leaving anyway.
The lowest tip value should be higher to reflect current tip pressuring tactics.
The tipping system in America is so broken.... It's no more than “we don't pay our employees, feel bad for it”.
Employees, on the other hand, should be upset at their employer for such practices, not at every customer who doesn't tip.
I'm gonna trigger that alarm and cheer.
“Cancel”
I would press "no tip" just to see if that claim is true.

I wonder if we can find a way to either hit it multiple times, or break it so it won't stop ringing.

The system would be fair if it was both positive and negative tips. Then at least I would consider tipping. It’s a but rude otherwise.
Omg, so many opportunities for evil:
- retrieve earplugs from purse, put them in, press the button, hand the staff a $5 cash tip and a pair of earplugs.
- loiter outside offering pairs of earplugs to anyone entering the business
- call the business, pose as a vendor so I get transferred to the manager, and play a recording of the sound.
- leave fake reviews claiming the employees are on a covert malicious compliance strike and to show solidarity everyone should push no-tip.
- before hitting the button ask to speak to the manager and push no tip while making eye contact with them.
The real problem is the employee who didn't create the policy would generally be the person subjected to any mischief so it'd lose its fun about the time the manager barred me from coming back the fourth time I no-tip stared them down.
mutes phone, proceeds.
Press "no tip" and sue them for hearing damage....
Seriously though, as a non American I only tip when the service or food was exceptionally good for the given establishment. People do however get paid a decent salary here, so tipping is optional.
