I do for certain local mom and pop places because then they remember me and give me extra fries/rice/extras and orders seem to go a little faster. With a chain, nah.

Rules (interactive)

That's it.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

As a service industry worker, I wouldn't bother. We generally treat it as a "cool they left money for some reason".
NO
Me, a non-american:
Low tip for takeout. Usually 10ish%. I'm also a high tipper at restaurants in general, food service in particular is shit work where you're treated badly and paid garbage. "It's not my responsibility to pay their employees" always sounded cheap to me. Either you can't afford it or you're cheap, if you claim to have any sympathy for minimum wage employees, you tip well. If you don't like tipping (because you're cheap or can't afford it, neither of which is wrong), you push for legal change and don't punish the fellow worker in front of you.
Same. Helping to trickle down, unlike actual rich people.
Only during COViD. They put extra service by risking their health. Some sullen teenager standing behind the register while I pick up my bag has provided no service
I used to tip everytime when I got food to-go but recently I've completely stopped on to-go orders for 2 reasons.
-
It was getting annoying how much money it just keeps adding onto what should be a smallish purchase
-
I didn't realize until recently that if you tip through the card scanner or online or whatever the company that made the scanner or online processing takes a part of the tip. I didn't tip for you card processor I tipped for the employee.
Zero tips for takeout.
New York City.
The delivery guy is probably not making very much money. Looks like minimum wage for food service is $10, $15 for everyone else. They have to go out in the rain and snow, too.
I make a modest shitload of money. I am not going to notice the extra $7 tip I give the driver. They might.
I can understand if you're tight on money not wanting to tip extra. Fine. Make your own decisions. But people pulling in mid six figures can afford to share the wealth.
I tip for delivery as well. OP is taking about takeout, where I have to drive to the place and pick it up myself.
I realized some time after writing my post that I had misread the op. Woops.
I put money in the tip jar at a lot of places, like the pizza place on the corner.
The lady at the burrito place I used to go to told me not to bother tipping with my credit card, because they didn't actually get that money. I had to tip in cash.
Fuck no, they're paid to prepare food. There's no service, why am I tipping? People who tip like this are the reason why we have a terrible time ordering every time we go out.
Could you speak up so those in the back can hear you?
“Fuck no”
Ok great, thank you for your service.
I tip around 1-2€ depending how much change I've flying around. Never tipped through the app because I don't think this reaches the driver.
None. I just pay in the app and choose a 0% tip. The thing is expensive already and I don't wanna waste money uselessly
More annoying than just asking for a tip on in delivery or takeout, is asking for the tip first. At this point it is just a fee.
$0.00
That's €0.00, for my fellow Europeans.
Now we're discussing tipping for takeout? What's next tipping in drive thru? I'm so tired of the tipping culture in the US, so very tired.
I went to a Sonic recently because I was constipated and sure enough, they were asking for tips at the checkout screen. Same thing at a liquor store I went to.
Have you not been tipping the machine for taking your tip? I was told we should leave 2% next to the machine because VISA/MasterCard will go out of business if we don't afford the life we have to sacrifice to it every day?
I checked with Futurama by the way, we can sacrifice the embryos for 1.76 days of extension.
We don't tip here nor do we have takeout.
I don't, unless something extraordinary happened.
They aren't $3/hr servers.
0-8%
Absolutely not, I only tip waitors / waitresses or delivery people.
US here, before COVID I would tip delivery drivers but not if I was picking it up. Now I tip 10-15% for takeout and 20%-25% for table service. I've also come to understand that checking your order, packing the bag, and including condiments or extras all take time and I've decided I'm ok tipping for that if it helps them earn a more decent living.
No, they did nothing but their job.
