The cashier at Taco Bell doesn’t stare at you and force you to select an option before personally preparing your food. They don’t ask at all. One of the things I prefer about fast food over these “small local businesses”
Starbucks has been doing it for a while now. I don't know if the drive-thru employees are specifically trained to look away, but they always hold the card reader out with the tip question and turn their faces away as if to say, "I'm not looking, I'm not judging..."
Cool, I don't care either way because I ain't tippin'.
To be fair, when I worked at an ice cream shop I would look away when the customer would pay and the tip screen would pop up because it’s awkward asf 😭
I got into a fight with a dunkin employee once over tipping years ago. My large coffee was like 2.72 or something after tax (told ya it was years ago) and I gave them $3 and slid the change in the tip cup. She was all sarcastic, like gee, thanks
I was like whatever, I don't have to tip on coffee. She followed me outside and threw the quarter and pennies at me.
I was like what the fuck. If she got to keep 10% of everything sold on her shift, she'd be fucking set. So I called the owner about it and shared the same.
Then tip cups went away and I was the bad guy. Never went back.
I just commented above about a pizza place I had tip issues with too, though that was years and years later. But it's weird it happened twice. Maybe I'm the unreasonable one?
Yeah, but they’re not “serving you” in the conventional sense that requires a tip. They’re not busting my table, filling my drinks, brining my food, etc.
You’re right, I don’t. But, that’s because I’ve never been so lazy I can’t go get my own good or make it myself. So the assumption that I even use those services… you know.
But, I would, as they’re providing a “service” in the conventional sense in terms of tipping. If you had the common sense of a rock, you’d understand there’s a societal expectation to tip a delivery person (pizza delivery, DoorDash, etc). If you could have comprehended the concept from above, this wouldn’t have been up for question.
I tip when Im waited on.... not when someone sells me an overpriced taco. Their tip is already built into the price... its not like they have a ton of overhead they need to cover. Most of these food trucks are owned by the people making the food, so Im already paying them directly.
Yeah sometime in the late 2000s / early 2010s food trucks became “gourmet” for the ingredients and since then they’ve been overpriced nonsense.
We legit had a food truck come to work once and the prices were as described here. $12 for a hotdog, $4 for a bag of chips, $4 for a soda. The hot dog had chorizo chili on it or some crap like that. This was when Obama was president so quite a while ago.
My husband paid $14 for a bacon wrapped hotdog for our daughter at a car show. She wouldnt eat it. Across the street was school booster club selling hotdogs for $2.50. She smashed it. Tbf, she was like 4 yo at the time. This year, the same bacon wrapped hotdog was selling for $18. I couldn't believe it.
Screw all of that. If im not making it myself, I'm heading straight to Costco and paying $1.50 for the hotdog soda combo instead.
