It's now expected that you tip even if YOU pick it up. I do not understand
Some friends and I ordered 5 pizzas the other day, so our total was going to be about $100. I was going to pick it up and asked what everyone thought I should tip. Several of the people said 20%, but I was God damned if I was gonna pay someone $20 for me to pick up pizza from them.
I remain confused about what you are tipping for at all for pickup orders? I assume you are under 30? Does purchasing food just equal tip, period? Is it totally detached from a service element and just a kind of bizarre tax for young Americans?
I am over 40. The person who suggested over 20% is over 50. So it's not just a young person thing.
Restaurants rely more and more on tips to make up server wages as cost of living skyrockets and workers need more and more hourly in order to survive. It sucks that businesses aren't making the difference from their own pockets, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't tip. You're not fighting the system, you're denying people a living wage.
