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.
