It only ever starts at 18% now

I have seen some non-table ones start at 10% for counter service.

Tipping is stupid and we should just pay servers and all other underpaid workers a living wage instead.

Can I get a sanity check here? This came up last night. If I'm picking up a dozen wings at Wingstop, is a tip expected? If so, how much?

When I used to make pizzas back in college, tips were for delivery drivers. So I never tip if I'm walking into a fast food place and picking up food. Am I being a dick?

As someone who has worked in hospitality within the last few years; nope!

Servers expect tips (they shouldn’t), bartenders expect tips (they shouldn’t), sushi chefs (counter service style, where they basically are your server) and other “show” workers expect tips (they shouldn’t).

To-go orders, regardless of the source, including counter service, are not ever expected to tip, and the people working host stand or to-go are making more hourly because nobody is expected to tip those people. If you do it’s a nice bonus but it is NEVER expected. If anyone tries to make you feel bad about it (literally a fireable offense in the vast majority of places), just tell them they make above minimum wage and if they need more that’s between them and their manager, not you.

For a sort of.. long-past personal anecdote that’s totally still applicable.. I used to do counter service at an airport and we had tip jars.. because airport. It wasn’t worth tipping for, but I wasn’t going to like… argue with tips on top of the shit wages we got (7.25/hr starting work at 3:30am)… I’d seed my jar with my own money every day and make 4x what the other servers made, or about $100/shift on top of my wages.. I did nothing extra or different or special, and if I didn’t get tipped it was very whatever.
