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

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.
