Tip on Take Out
I would start a new thread, if I knew how to. Question is tipping on take out. During covid when many restaurants were take out only, I tipped on orders I picked up the same as I would if eating at the location. Servers were hit hard and I'm doing ok. Now that it is over, tipping on take out seems to have become a standard thing. Picking up a pizza ($35.00 for a pizza, what is happening), getting Chinese take out. When you go to pay many now ask how much to tip. Some give suggestions from 15%, 20%, 22%. I generally will give 10%, but do not fully understand what that is for. When dining in the tip is for service during the meal, interaction, bussing etc.. Do people tip on take out, and if so how much?

If I have to go in (or to a drive-thru) and they just pass it to me over the counter or through the window, they get no tip. Restaurant owners don't have to pay tipped employees the usual minimum wage. That would be bartenders and waitstaff. Everyone else gets minimum wage. It's a minimum wage job. Non-waitstaff and non-bartenders don't rely on tips for their pay to equal $11/hour. Only waitstaff and bartenders do. So they're the only ones that get my tips. The take-out person who hands you a bag is getting minimum wage (or better). Toss'em a buck if it makes you feel better, but don't add a tip to the credit card charge - or you might end up discovering that the waiter inside the place who you never even saw, who waited on other customers but not you - got a share of that tip. |

Waitstaff holding out "cash tips" in a "split tips" business model (which most are) are grounds for immediate firing ... as it should be. Bus boys, hostesses & bartenders are typically "tipped out" by other serving staff, as they contribute to easing the servers' work load. Any restaurant that doesn't play fairly with "credit card tips", isn't going to be in business very long. The tip is clear on the CC receipt and state and federal regulators are all over this issue. It would pretty difficult to get away that for very long. & why should anyone get paid in cash? So they can cheat on their taxes? |

Back in the day, I would tip using $2 bills or in dollar coins. In some Asian restaurants, Chinese especially, a $2 bill is considered good luck. A $6 tip in the form of three $2 bills got remembered a whole lot more than, say, six $1’s. It is good to be remembered in a positive light when returning to a restaurant. It guarantees good service. |

If the FED gets its difficult mandate wrong, then more restaurants will go under. And the restaurant industry could be the "tip of the iceberg" and more and more businesses could be closing. The "sign of the times" could be........CLOSING. |

The general term for ALL those price increases is INFLATION. It had a year-over-year rate of 9.1 % this June. Which is the largest in 40years. In general, older people on fixed incomes are the MOST adversely affected by inflation. That's why it is affecting everyone and especially in The Villages.

His point is, in these troubling times, restaurants should not be forced to pay rent.
The same goes for other business and residents, why not? |

Actually take a dollar off. The governors cut(tax) is 7%.

Agree with what you have said. We, in TV, better start getting used to lessened service in the restaurant business. Not enough worker bees to support the large(and getting larger) influx of non workers to this area. Went out tonight and two restuarants were 1/2 empty and there was a 15 minute waits due to fact they were understaffed.
In meantime a lof of complaints about aparments. We need these apartments so that workers have a place to live nearby. New areas of TV are probably worse off as they are further away from areas around TV which do have the worker bees nearby. |

Kitchen help get paid minimum wage, which is $11/hour at the moment. Wait staff gets paid $7.98/hour and RELY on tips to make up the difference. If their tips are pooled and split among kitchen staff, bartenders, and hosts, then those kitchen staff could theoretically be earning significantly more than the wait staff, after the tips are split. That isn't how it works everywhere, and it definitely isn't how it worked at the places I've been on wait staff or as a bartender. Wait staff works their butts off, the customers THINK that the tips are going to the wait staff, but in actuality they only get a piece of the tip. If a waiter gets tipped $10 for a $50 meal - and there are 10 employees working during that shift, then that means the waiter earned $1 out of their customer's tip for themselves. If the other waiter had half as many tips, then the one who EARNED more will lose out when it's time for their share of their tips. Pooling tips to "make up" for a minimum wage benefits only the management. It hurts the employees. And that is why there is such a huge turnover. A waiter who EARNED $100 in tips that day, might only see a total of $40 when everyone else's tips are split among themselves, and the people who don't get tipped at all BECAUSE THEY ALREADY GET PAID A HIGHER WAGE IN THE FIRST PLACE. |

We are seeing that instability here locally in the inability to maintain a stable RESTAURANT work force. They are faking enjoyment for their jobs and are casting about looking and hoping for something better. Meanwhile. management at MacDonald's is looking to have robotic servers to eliminate as many workers as possible. |
