Do you tip when you buy stuff at the supermarket?

Does the labor of countless cashiers, inventory workers, stockers, butchers, and other staff mean nothing to you?

Of course it doesn't because you are the customer. You pay for the price of the product you are buying. The employer sets the price of the product and that should cover whatever wages they pay their employees.

This is how it works in every single country in every single industry, except for food and cosmetic service in the US.

We're the customers, not the employers. We don't decide wages.

I categorically refuse to tip for carry out or fast casual sit-down dining.

So, a Thip tip, if you will..

^(I'll see myself out)

its the closeest on to my house from job.

That’s the way it works in the industry, tho 🤷🏽‍♀️.

FOH makes an absurdly low hourly wage (I think $5/hr) that is supplemented by tips. BOH receives a significantly higher wage that isn’t supplemented by tips.

As long as it isn’t a surprise. I get that pick ups are more frequent, and may not have been a part of the business plan pre-pandemic, so something needs to be done. But sneaking fees onto the check is cutting corners, and if they are doing that god only knows what corners they’re cutting with the food.

Yes, their 1 minute of labor is worth less than the 4-15 minutes of labor that go into serving a table for a sit down meal. Should you get paid the same amount for significantly less work time?

I usually tip for takeout because typically, a server has to sacrifice tables to take care of takeout orders. But it's usually around 10%.

Yes, I’m paid by service industry workers out of their 20% mandatory tips to be an advocate for the practice generally. You got me.

20% to the person at the take out counter and then 20% to the Uber eats driver then right? What ru even saying

No. Vulcan is a moron. He doesn’t represent us. At this point I think he’s a paid bot regurgitating the same exact talking point over and over again

I think he’s a paid troll. He just repeats the same thing over and over again from thread to thread regardless of whether he’s getting reasoned with, insulted, proven wrong. It’s like a broken recording

I thought they charged more for items on those apps to offset the fees?

FWIW I call in my order to Red Light directly to pick up and they still tack on that 20%.

Huh so your whole position is arbitrary. Neat

It’s about 15 minutes drive. Takoma borders NE.

Those jobs aren’t tipped. Restaurant jobs are. It is what it is.

Can’t do drugs in a shelter.

Tipping 20% on takeout is downright laughable.

Just 3 low payments of 9.99 for S&H

You know that most people have to perform labor right? Often for minimum wage?

Is the labor of the check out attendants at Trader Joe's dealing with hordes of bags of groceries worth nothing to you?

It is better, but shelters have rules like no doing hard drugs.

? What the freak are you always on about??? Why does the restaurant owner not have to pay a fair wage in this scenario? Or what about that the core feature of tipped positions is that it’s variable???? I don’t get it

I’ll look into it! I looked up Catholic University, looks it’s NE DC. Is Takoma near NE? I don’t know the dc area that well.
