Reply to comment by VulcanVulcanVulcan in Mandatory Tip for Take-Out? by DCcatdad09

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.
