Reply to comment by [deleted] in Shyndigz on W Cary not paying out tips. by itzaxumzn
The Continental also adds a tip for take-out, but I think with take-out, a lot of times a server (who does not make minimum wage) is packing and ringing up the take-out, so they are spending time on your order when they would normally make a tip. At Shindigz, it's literally someone putting cake in a box. I hope they are not paid server's wages, because they are not servers. I guessed (wrongly?) that they are paid above minimum wage.

I’m sorry but that’s not my problem.
Restaurant industry needs to start fighting for living wages and stop shooting itself in the foot pushing for tipping. This is exactly a way restaurants take advantage of them by making them work while not being tipped (prepping take out food).
Again, not my problem. I’m ordering take out for a reason. Just like I order subway and chipotle - no tipping is even asked for.
Someone’s livelihood should not be dependent on the generosity of strangers, especially when the strangers are forced to tip in some type of surprise billing scheme.

Aside from what tennisprofosho said, a very minimal time is spent doing that. I've worked in a restaurant as a waiter and dealing with carry out orders. Charging 20% on takeout is straight up criminal.
