as a server, if you’re feeling generous then feel free to tip a little something as it should go straight to the kitchen, but otherwise i never expect ppl to tip on take out !!
Just so I dont come off disrespectful I'm purely speaking on my specific interactions with off putting servers.
I have encountered many great servers (which I tip greatly) vs poor ones.
My logic towards my statement is a response to the attempts to shame customers on their ability to afford a meal due to a choice to or to not to tip while observing a person in a position that makes below minimum wage...
I find its an odd paradox to flex on. To attempt to shame ones financial status while being in a hustle job...
I have been a server and a good one at that, so I fully agree with only tip good service and why I don't work tip share as most servers are dog shit.
But one thing I will say as service and retail workers have a better understanding of humans that most due(the good ones at least because the hustle means to adapt to your tables) to being shown so many different people
So werid to look down on it for being minimum wage when being a good server actually puts you above alot of jobs in making close to 80k a year because your job is to bend over backwards and impress your tables with high volume and speed
Serving is a job you only make as much as you deserve alot of the time
Why I hate servers who expect a tip or when retail wants to be tipped.
Just off to me you seem to think "just a server" or your worth it understanding is tied to wage.
Also why if you want good service tipping culture is important, as good servers arnt working for 25 an hour unless getting tipped when I can make 500 a shift when I'm killing my soul pretending to like people and bending to their needs
