No fucking tip on a take out order. That's the rules lol.
Tips in general have rules that don't make sense. If they wanna complain about take outs having no tips, then we're just as justified in contesting the tips rule in general. Should be the restaurant's job to determine the worth of their service. The thing is, the quality of the service and the payoff of that service isn't guaranteed for servers because the tip happens after. If the restaurants really want to guarantee a certain quality, they should give them a raise rather than just filling in the blanks with dubious tips which a lot of cultures give extremely varying rates

“It’s a lot of work just as much as serving.” Take out is way harder than serving. Serving, you usually have like 2-5 tables max at the same time and you never get them all at the same time. You can get like 10+ orders at once on a busy night in take out and the phone will just keep ringing... and ringing... it never ends. It is really stressful. |

Fair
I'm so sick of hearing servers bitching about tips. Nobody who skips on a tip gives a shit when you post on facebook, it just annoys us who do tip and makes your establishment look bad. |

You don't tip on a takeout order, you're not being serviced by the waitstaff.

Wait. Why the fuck did the Church get a refund? Because it's a corporate chain and not a small business, and they probably have the church valued at something like $100k+ lifetime worth. So refunding is the cheapest thing to do in order to keep them returning.

Should she have been fired? Yep. They made it clear what their policy was and she violated it.
Was she right? Yep. Fuck those people for not ponying up a tip on a fucking seven hundred dollar order. That deserves a twenty-spot at least.

I also don't tip for carry out. Is that normal? What is the tip for? They aren't serving me or delivering to me

Sounds like she took it out to the car and helped store it away. But to me it's more the fact that a church, a place that believes in giving, didn't tip

The reason why you should tip is because of the cost.
Yeah don't tip on your 20 dollar pick up. But almost 1k worth of food? Some of you don't understand. Packed restaurant with a wait.and now imagine getting 700 dollars worth of food to prepare in the hour. All the prep time and every thing else in getting it ready

Some of you don't understand Thats a big issue, because why the hell should the customer care about how something works in the back ground. At least a waiter is in your face talking to you when you have a menu or receipt that has tip suggestions. Heck, restaurants should make it clearer that they only get paid a Pepsi an hour to be there

I don't normally tip for takeout, but I think it'd be different for an exceptionally large order like that. It sounds more like a catering order than takeout.
Still, it was fair to fire her for calling them out publicly |

The reason why you should tip is because of the cost. I highly doubt the restaurant only got the call an hour before. Most places make you call 24 hours in advance for significantly large orders. They can't just pull the product/production out of their asses in an hour.

The Mega Cheat posted...voldothegr8 posted...show hidden quote(s) Yeah it’s a huge pain in the ass. Often times the time spent on the phone is quite a lot for so much food and the amount of stuff to do is a lot especially if the guest has a lot of special requests. On a busy day getting a huge catering order can completely fuck me over.

Super fair super next
1. You don't tip on takeout 2. The only reason the church was picking it up was because Outback failed to deliver it on time... Its fucking absurd for the girl to expect a tip when its the restaurant that completely dropped the ball. Outback should have given them some free sides or a discount on their next order for the inconvenience 3. "Its a lot of work". Really? Its a lot of work for you? How about for the people who fucking cooked the food and wouldn't have gotten any of the tip Bitch deserved to get fired and the story illustrates everything wrong with tipping culture.

What is the tip for? They aren't serving me or delivering to me I mean, at least for Outback of course, they are taking your order over phone the way a server would, they are packaging and bringing the food to you at your vehicle the way a server would, the take and bring back payment type the way a server would depends how much you ask of a server generally, but only thing different for me is time and a few drinks/refills maybe so I suppose it depends on how you value those

That being said, I agree with what some are saying in here. Normally I don't tip for takeout but if I ever placed an enormous order like that, you bet your ass I would. That's a pain in the ass to fulfill on the restaurant's behalf.

lmfao you don't get tips for take out, XFD
