I just ordered a Pizza to go and didn’t tip.

If I am picking the food up myself, i don't leave a tip. I do tip on delivery and dine in though.
I always disliked tipping to go, but after working in a restaurant I've seen that the to-go person can get more swamped than the waiters! One person mans the phones and puts all orders together by themselves. I'm not sure what their hourly payment structure is like.
That said I've come to despise tipping and I still hate it when fast food places pull this shit (Johnny Rockets I'm looking at you, also your food was shit.) Can't wait till we just pay a bit more and not have to worry about the gratuity. Also, fuck pizza places that charge "delivery fees" and give zero of that to the driver.

Tipping is wack and so American. I can see tipping to go being a thing, they just have to market it right to the proles.
Wait a minute, are offended that there is a tip line on a receipt? What's the issue here?
Tons of people are making minimum wage, fast food workers in the back, cashiers, stocking, etc. Don't think many people are tipping them.
I mean sure but when I have the opportunity I will tip a dollar.
If it's a tip that's not going straight to a server or a delivery person it may also not be going to the employees so
i mean they probably get a cut of the tips, yes. especially in places where it's not really a full-fledged sit-down deal and the "servers" are just cooks who have time to hand you your order.
sure, but every bit counts. it's probably a tipsharing system if it doesn't go to any one person
Why? Do you tip when you pick up at McDonald's? They are not doing anything that warrants a tip
Sometimes owners turn on the option and pocket the credit card tips.
I try to throw something to them if I pick up but how about this scenario: there's a tip jar on the counter, you put something in and either they aren't looking or their back is turned, you sign the receipt and of course it's blank, now you know that they think you didn't leave a tip!
They don't allow it there.
So because you completely overreacted and can't deal with your own awkwardness, "tipping culture" is now "borderline ridiculous"?
They can't spit in it when it's literally in front of you as you pay.
I just tipped 4 bucks op I'm superior to you in every way (/s). The girl smiled and said thank u very much have a great weekend .
The machine prints one kind of bill (with a tip line). Keep leaving your takeout tip line blank.
That's my rule, basically do $1 for $10-19 orders, $2 for $20-29, $3 for $30-39 etc.
If it's a random spot I'm likely not coming back to for a long time I'll just sign it and leave. I agree that tipping for pickup is stupid but I only get takeout on a regular basis from a few spots so gotta keep my rep up
If you left the receipt blank, call up the restaurant and tell them to tip the driver X amount when they close the receipt.
You don't tip for takeout. You're doing the work. Tip for delivery, tip for sit down with a server, tip for "leave your plates and we clean it" places, tip for bringing your food to your table after ordering from a register. But takeout? Not an expectation, or at least wasn't when I was working at restaurants that did it.
I always tip delivery drivers since they're usually getting the same bullshit sub-minimum wage that waiting staff get, but yeah, I rarely tip if I'm picking it up.
I've never tipped if I'm just picking up an order for carryout. You don't have a waiter, and they aren't delivering it to you. Only time I'd consider doing it is if it was a big catering order or something that took a lot of time for them to make.
If it had a place for a tip on there it's probably just because they put it on the receipt no matter what type of order it is.

Most good restaraunts split up all tips you're not just literally tipping for the server
It's the same as going as going to McDonald's. In other words, I don't tip. If you have it delivered to you or have wait service bring it to you at a table then you should. I always tip my bartender as well. You'll find that there's less ice and mixed drinks are a little stronger next time you order.
I'll tip on a pick up if it's an actual sit-down restaurant, with servers, that is mainly "intended" to be eaten at by normal, tip-leaving patrons. But I only tip 2 or 3 bucks for this kind of thing, because while it does take some amount of server effort to load the bag with my food, bring it to me, and ring me up, it's not even close to multi-course serving over like an hour.
I don't tip carry out. That's madness. Always irks me if I see a tip section on a carry-out receipt.
Tipping is for personalized service. You were the server at my table or delivered my food to my home, you get a tip. If I'm driving my damn self to pick up the food, you get jack shit.

Why would I tip anyone else other than server/table cleaner? I'm already paying a higher price for any food I order at a restaurant than I could get anywhere else. My table isn't being cleared. Maybe the only person being stiffed is the dish cleaner?
