So they want us to tip people for doing their job.

I tried grub hub once and found pubes in one of the sauces. Never order anything delivery anymore..doesn't cut all the risk but at least cuts some of the chances

This is where I'm driving at, I'll tip well for waitstaff/someone, but to expect gratuity automatically on a carryout is beyond insane

Tipping is over rated

But yet, they've gotten orders wrong, I don't hold their feet to the fire but damn, do you tip McDonald's workers?

McDonald's is cheap and streamlined, it's not the same thing.

When it comes to waiting tables in a restaurant, it's actually easier to have a table in the dining room than it is to put a to go order together.

The to go person is doing almost all the steps the server is doing, less some, but some steps are added in a to go order.

The to go person is managing your order. They still have to work with the kitchen, and they typically are responsible for boxing your stuff up or at least some of it. They have to fill the little plastic cups of sauces, etc, put in the plastic ware and napkins, try to keep it somewhat warm until you show up and they have to deal with your payment.

OTOH, if you're the server waiting on a table, you just grab the plates out of the window and put them on the table. No complicated packaging. You go back once to check on them and maybe refill drinks. When they leave, you or the busboy put the dishes into the bus tub.

But putting a to go order together and managing it from start to finish is almost more work.

Personally, I tip 10-15% on to go orders I pick up. Like I said, you will pay one way or another. If they can't make tips then they will build the cost into the menu.

The restaurant is procuring the food, dealing with inventory, storage, transportation....then you have all the prep that goes into it initially, then the cooks that work with the prepped food. It's a lot, and that's why it costs more than if you go to the market, buy it, transport it and prepare it yourself.

Don't tip at your own risk - but I wouldn't order from the same place twice.

I can understand this perspective. I do also understand the difference between Mcdumpers and other places thigh to be it's the expectancy. You sit down and dine you pay for the experience. You order food to pick up the foods good bud not above food truck fare. RR is a far cry from fine dining

Clearly, you’ve never managed a business.

Nor will you.

Only for the last 30 years.

Must be part of that wonderful education you acquired to think that adding middle men to the equation is how you operate a successful business.
Now go back to writing threads bitching about how much your wife spent on a honey baked ham.

Retards, both of you.

No, 'they' want to pay people peanuts to work making them rich and you to pay high prices and subsidse the low wages/manager's pools etc.

Cant tip.... cook ur own food loser

Tipping is rude in China. Its like throwing change at the poor..

this aignt china

I ordered from Texas roadhouse and used curbside service. Got charged 10% tip automatically on the bill. So, it's automatic tip for any food you order now? It's bullshit , pay these restaurant workers a living wage. Tipping is for good services. NOT just another automatic charge for ordering food for pick up? If I sit down to eat I generally tip 20% unless the service is awful..not it's required?
