Keeping that same energy for the people cooking and getting your food during a pandemic.
Well it's not. Cause your food doesn't magically appear in front of you. There is a team prepping and handling your food that is given to you. Generally (not 100% of the time) pickup tips are spread out to the team. I can understand not tipping on takeout orders normally, but during this crisis it's basic kindness imo.
you should tip everyone who is working retail right now, including cashiers at grocery stores. They're vulnerable in a way most of the world isn't at the moment, putting themselves in more danger. Their job makes them come into the most contact with other people. All essential workers should get more pay right now. If these people were to quit working, the world would collapse right now.
All the stores essential items people need don't magically appear on the shelves and you don't see people tipping the stickers. I have yet to get a tip. Only people calling you a hero and coughing on you.
Oh, I'm aware of that. I think people who are working groceries should get tipped rn as well. The system in place makes it a more complicated process. Pickup orders are a complicated one, but I do believe we should be tipping people out if we can at this time because companies are surely slacking on paying decent wages. I don't think tipping on takeout is usually a necessity but these are different times.
Buying food is essential and many people cannot afford to tip when they're buying food, that's not a reasonable position to take.
Then have the employer compensate them more than depend on us for tips. The system is broken the way it is if they can't make a livable wage.
Facts.
I drastically cut back on takeout when I found out that on top of a service fee and tip they usually overprice the menu items on services grubhub and ubereats. It's just a big waste of money. It's I'm not even like a few cents I saw items for $5 more at this restaurant.
