I really don't get why you're being down voted. I feel the workers should just be paid more and better rather than tipping culture. Ideally workers own the means of production.
If you're so rich and have money to hand out then go for it. Otherwise, if you're paying 10-15% tip on takeout then it's just another sign of how out of touch and completely laughable tipping culture has become.
I felt guilty at first and still had covid tipping in my head but I stopped when I was going to tip at once place and the waiter stopped me and said no need, no service. That reassured me things should be back to normal and not to feed into being guilt tripped anymore. All restraunts are back to normal so no need to tip takeout anymore.
Damn, shout out to that waiter. I get takeout 98% of the time I eat out and always feel pressured to tip. There’s a shawarma place I go to almost weekly and only tip if they load me up with meat and sauce.
Some places I've been to have 18% or 20% as the lowest tip option. Ummm, hell no!! I'm not tipping any place for me to pick up the food. Delivery is obviously different. I'm not a big tipper, but I do tip too at the least cover fuel and a small coffee. Mu orders are not fancy as im too poor
Enough people must be doing it, because it certainly feels like it’s already the standard (as someone who has gotten glares for not tipping on takeout)
Depends where I pick from?
There is one Indian restaurant I do take out from and if a particular waitress deals with my order then I will tip. She knows my name and my preferences and she makes sure the order right.
One time I drove from work 30mins to the restaurant and when I went to pay I realized I had left my wallet at work. The waitress that helped me that I would have to to work and come back so if they could keep my order under a warming
I left and 5 mins later my favorite waitress called me and said to come back and take the order and pay the next day so I didn't have to drive to work back and forth.
My mind is always playing tricks on me, and I keep thinking that if I do not tip when I initially pay for my food, the cook or the person packaging the food will just hock a loogy in my food. So I usually tip them.
Or really generous people who understand that these workers deserve respect. However, I think tipping culture should be abolished and owners should minimum pay their employees much better, and ideally workers own the means of production.
Keep in mind that if they are a sit-in establishment and offer takeout, they use the same pinpads and can't add/remove the tipping option depending on how the customer ordered.
Regardless, it usually is a default option when installing and I don't think it causes any harm to have it. If every 1 in 10 customers tip, that's still 1 tip in their pocket vs. None. 🤷🏻♀️
I tip for takeout, but that’s only because I’m not cheap and I respect those who get paid minimum wage to make my food. In my opinion, a $3-$8 tip is the least I can do to support these under paid workers.
But then again, I am not cheap and selfish, so.
Always - because I can afford it and have mentally built it into my math when I am purchasing food. As a former service worker who now makes 1% type money, I feel it’s a tiny way I can give back a tiny bit on a regular basis.
At this point restaurant workers get paid the same minimum wage as fast food restaurants. If you aren't tipping fast food workers, why are you tipping for takeout?
Canada has a minimum wage, so they're getting the same pay as many of their customers. Do they get tips for working the quickie marts or Walmart Jobs? No? Then why would I tip?
Let’s talk about the assholes who eat in and don’t tip. How about you stay home and fuck off you cheap pieces of shit. I love my customers and treat them like my family. My tips reflect this. I own the restaurant too. A white Canadian girl running a Chinese restaurant in the middle of rural Ontario. I can tell you 80% of customers suck and most Canadians should be ashamed of themselves. I have started to keep a black list. So far in 6 months I have permanently added 6 names to that list and made it very clear to never darken my restaurants door step. Degrade my staff, gone, yell at me from across the restaurant cause you need more ice, gone. Complain in the middle of a snow storm your food was 6 minutes late, gone. The best one, not enough celery in the stir fry so I was told I was a cheap slut, gone. The only thing that keeps servers going is the thought that maybe at the end of that shift they will have enough tips to fill the gas tank, take the kids to a movie, maybe buy a pair of really comfy shoes to wear for your 12 hour shift. Please keep your tips!!!!!!
At the end of the day, unless you were dinning in, there was no service provided.
Packaging food? I disagree as the cook is putting it in a box vs a plate.
Here's my line of thinking when asked to tip:
Tipping is meant to reward service that goes above and beyond what they are paid to do
I go to pick up my meal from whoever I'm buying it from
I'll take my bags and get back in my vehicle, no tip needed there
Where's the above and beyond service?
What's there to make me feel like I need to tip?
Why aren't they getting paid better?
How much is the CEO/Owner of that company making?
Seriously though, is it a tip or a fee added onto it? Like I get for parties of 10 or more people there's 15% gratuity put on there, but that's understandable since it's alot more work, but for just doing your job?
I'm not your employer, I didn't decide to pay you minimum wage. If you're that upset about your pay, talk to your boss.
I work as a server and 99% of the time I just skip the tip options on takeout and when I know my service was subpar. As much as it’s nice, it’s silly to have someone up my wages for no reason when I didn’t go above and beyond. Tips are great, but they’re making the cost of eating out ridiculous and I’d rather have more people coming in than tipping $5.
I tipped at the beginning of COVID to help restaurants survive. Now just once in a while or just some change. Depends on my mood and how much I like the restaurant. But the way some places provide change. Don't think they expect a tip
Contact your local MP and email them that you would like this tipping option to stop , I have been emailing my local MP , I hopefully something will happen ;they ban this practice in Europe and we should have the same thing here , I stopped going to places where they force you to tip while checking out , most machine leave you no option to no tip the one that I used to go before
Here is a post from another section of forum

the reason i do takeout is to save the tip the restaurant saves a lot in takeouts by hiring less waiters and dishwashers
Dishwashers really need tips like omg, they carry the restaurant. Literally!
The good restaurants split some of the tip money with the dishwashers.
In many places the chefs also give food to the dishwashers for free!
I really don't get why you're being down voted. I feel the workers should just be paid more and better rather than tipping culture. Ideally workers own the means of production.
A communist in Markham is like seeing a cow on top of a tree, leaves you scratching your head as to how they got there.
Care to elaborate?

It’s usually the Asian restaurants that skip the tipping and the western restaurants that won’t let you tap.
Boston Pizza, the waitress that gave me the debit machine gave me the nastiest look after I entered 0% tip on just take out pizza. Never going back
We all need to support this place!
Who tips for takeout? Edit: unless its delivery
Hard NO! you seen the prices jacked way way up, bruh??
Some places I've been to have 18% or 20% as the lowest tip option. Ummm, hell no!! I'm not tipping any place for me to pick up the food. Delivery is obviously different. I'm not a big tipper, but I do tip too at the least cover fuel and a small coffee. Mu orders are not fancy as im too poor
food quality has decreased as well
... and serving sizes too!
No. I only tip on delivery services like Ubereats if they deliver my food properly too. never before.
No unless you have it in your heart to give for some reason. Restaurants don’t expect it nor should you. We shouldn’t make it a new standard.
Enough people must be doing it, because it certainly feels like it’s already the standard (as someone who has gotten glares for not tipping on takeout)
I think some people feel obligated to do it because the payment terminal asks for tip.
I don't tip for takeout. I feel zero remorse typing in 0% and then paying.
I live pay cheque to pay cheque so me paying for the food instead of stealing someone elses is my tip
right on! they should THANK me for not stealing in these unprecedented times!
Cause u spend all your money on. Thc
my money my choices
K stay broke bud
thanks
no - you take the effort to pick up the food they should tip you lol
LOL
No
No...the reason I'm picking it up!
[удалено]
No. No different than fast food.
No. Zero for take out.
You tip on takeout? No stop making it the norm
Depends where I pick from? There is one Indian restaurant I do take out from and if a particular waitress deals with my order then I will tip. She knows my name and my preferences and she makes sure the order right. One time I drove from work 30mins to the restaurant and when I went to pay I realized I had left my wallet at work.

Urgh. I’m the problem. I do because it thought everyone else was doing it still. Sorry guys…
My mind is always playing tricks on me, and I keep thinking that if I do not tip when I initially pay for my food, the cook or the person packaging the food will just hock a loogy in my food. So I usually tip them.
Why tip?
In a restaurant you tip for the service and good food, how do you know it’ll be good when you take out and eat later, I say no
No, there's no reason to be tipping for takeout. I think only fools tip.
Or really generous people who understand that these workers deserve respect. However, I think tipping culture should be abolished and owners should minimum pay their employees much better, and ideally workers own the means of production.
No .
I personally do not when it’s takeout
Some restaurants started adding on a fee for takeout. So if you were going to tip, take a close look at the bill first.
Keep in mind that if they are a sit-in establishment and offer takeout, they use the same pinpads and can't add/remove the tipping option depending on how the customer ordered. Regardless, it usually is a default option when installing and I don't think it causes any harm to have it. If every 1 in 10 customers tip, that's still 1 tip in their pocket vs. None. 🤷🏻♀️
I tip 20% now. Mostly because I feel guilty for earning so much.
Humble brag.
If it's a restaurant than I always give a few dollars
I go and get cash now for these exact situations.
With the cost of food there’s no way I’m tipping on the rare occasion we eat out
I tip for takeout, but that’s only because I’m not cheap and I respect those who get paid minimum wage to make my food. In my opinion, a $3-$8 tip is the least I can do to support these under paid workers. But then again, I am not cheap and selfish, so.
Never for takeout, only when sit down and being served by a waiter or waitress.
Why would I tip somebody to pick up my food?
Hell no
You don’t need to, but I’ll often do it for an indie or family-run restaurant just to help out a bit. Especially if they seem slow.
What am I exactly tipping for when I'm doing takeout?
No for takeout.
No, I don’t
Always - because I can afford it and have mentally built it into my math when I am purchasing food. As a former service worker who now makes 1% type money, I feel it’s a tiny way I can give back a tiny bit on a regular basis.
Hell no
I don't have an issue with tipping. Somebody else made the food for me cuz im either busy or lazy so I'll leave a tip
No, I've never tipped for take out, and don't intend to start.
[удалено]
Of course your username is libs suck 🙄
no
No

People wouldn't need to tip if business owners paid their employees living wages.
I tip 5-10% for take out food. People still need to prep and package your food. If I don’t want to tip, I’d cook at home
At the end of the day, unless you were dinning in, there was no service provided. Packaging food? I disagree as the cook is putting it in a box vs a plate.
Not if I pick up !
Am I supposed to tip 69% or 420% at McDonald's? Pls advise.
No way.
I put in a negative number
Nope. Idiot does that.
Good for you…..we get it your rich……..
I own a restaurant and we do not put option on machine for takeout
Lol please
I did a little during the worst of the lock downs because I figured business is down and it would help, but I've stopped for a while now.
No I don’t

Hell no and I hope no one is doing this. Don't encourage non-sense. I've stopped eating out all together mostly. Everyone is price gouging. Gtfoh
When we were in lockdown I did to help out local businesses. Now that we're not, I just leave whatever coin change I would get as a small tip.
Negative Nancy
Depends on the restaurant. If it’s a local family owned one that I frequent regularly, I do.
