Was going to do pick up from Thip Khao tonight but they also enforce 20% on pick up. Absurd.

Shame because its delicious. Their catfish and alligator are to die for. If its 20% extra for takeout I would just eat there and at least have my meal served and not have to deal with dishes and trash. Same price but you get a waiter

Yep I was disappointed to see it. I can stomach the mandatory 20% when I dine in sometimes. But the fact that it’s mandatory, even though I’d leave it anyway, really irks me.

Is this a case of, ~~mY FrEedUms~~? The power you hold on deciding someone’s wages? If they look at you a little funny, do you deduct from them? If they make a mistake are you deducting from the tip? Have you ever made a mistake at work? Do they deduct from your salary?

You literally admit you’d leave 20% anyways. These threads and this mandatory tip outrage in this subreddit are getting so old. Two of the top three posts are about this. You guys would complain if there were no service workers willing to work and no bustling city full of good places to eat and then also complain about paying mandatory tips.

Nahhhhhhhhh, I’ll be here as long as these mandatory tips/fees threads are here. Just like you in the two different threads about it today.

No just not a lot to say to some dipshit trying to pull politics into a gripe about mandatory tipping. You can fuck off too.

Is the labor of workers at Thip Khao dealing with hordes of pickup orders worth nothing to you?

Correct, it is worth nothing to me over the price of the food. You are very confused if you think the responsibility of paying the staff falls on me the consumer.

Do you tip when you buy stuff at the supermarket?

Does the labor of countless cashiers, inventory workers, stockers, butchers, and other staff mean nothing to you?

Of course it doesn't because you are the customer. You pay for the price of the product you are buying. The employer sets the price of the product and that should cover whatever wages they pay their employees.

This is how it works in every single country in every single industry, except for food and cosmetic service in the US.

Yes precisely, that’s not how it works in the restaurant industry so people should stop acting like not paying tip, or paying small tip, is justified and noble. It’s not. It’s just cheap.

For someone who claims not to work in the industry, you sure do care an awful lot about tipping on take out orders.

You know that most people have to perform labor right? Often for minimum wage?

Is the labor of the check out attendants at Trader Joe's dealing with hordes of bags of groceries worth nothing to you?

Those jobs aren’t tipped. Restaurant jobs are. It is what it is.

I think he’s a paid troll. He just repeats the same thing over and over again from thread to thread regardless of whether he’s getting reasoned with, insulted, proven wrong. It’s like a broken recording

Yes, I’m paid by service industry workers out of their 20% mandatory tips to be an advocate for the practice generally. You got me.

just don’t get why you keep repeating the same exact talking points over and over again even when people try to give reasonable responses as to why your statements are not completely valid or relevant in certain cases. Also the complete inability to apply nuance and reason to some arguments but just resort to calling people cheap.… seems like a bot or chat GPT. Also PS front of house restaurant workers are tipped. The rest are not.

Yes I’m a chat GPT bot using servers paid for by service workers. You got me.
