I feel like $4 for 10 seconds of work is more than enough.
Pre-covid, I don't think there was much of an expectation of tipping for pick up order. During Covid shutdowns there was a push to tip for pickup orders because you couldn't eat in person. But now I'm kind of at a loss.
What is a reasonable tip for a pick up order?
To bring it full circle, when the wait staff was making $2.35 per hour, yeah tips made a lot of sense. But when I was hand tossing pizzas as a teen, I didn't get any cut of the tip jar. I never agreed with the $2 p/h and that's why I ditched that as a job before I got out of school. Now you have teenage Starbucks baristas making $20p/h aka $40k per year but the same tip logic is supposed to apply? Plus if the place is adding house gratuity etc on top of the inflated base price? I bet the small restaurants will milk it a while and then we'll see some going the other way. ie Casa Bonita nipping the whole tip portion of the equation.
Consumers have an uphill battle because the house and its staff both benefit from a tipping policy. NPR had a good segment on the other week talking about the issue. One piece of the puzzle I didn't know about is the difference in tax burden between tipping vs no tipping policies. One restauranteur said his monthly tax burden under a tipping policy was multiple thousands less than under a no tipping policy.
Gramercy Tavern was notable for its no tipping policy for a number of years. It was fantastic. But, even they relented and went back to tipping.

I thought a pickup order where something was made for you should be max 10%.
Pre-made is 0%
Good buddy of mine was a professional bartender. That was his job and he was good at it although at times he was a little embarrassed to be a 50+ year old bartender.
The place he worked was mostly staffed by an never-ending rotation of young folks coming and going and he had been there 20+ years. We talked about his money situation quite a bit at times and what he was taking home VS what he was declaring. He made excellent money from tips and his base wage up until around 2010/12and for various reasons people smarter than me can explain his take home began to fall behind the rising costs of living.
I salivate at the mention of the name Gramercy Tavern. Best Restaurant Week meal I ever had.Quote:

All articles are since this thread started and all mention tipflation. Coincidence? No
How much am I supposed to tip the Budtender at a dispensary ?
No matter what I buy they get a tip.
Shop up the street is selling 1/2 GR pre-rolls for 6 bucks. They get a buck just because.
Another shop up the street is owned by a cadre of Lesbians. Supper nice and good product.
Didja know 4-corners has the highest concentration of dispensaries in the US.
Couple a bucks each time. There’s a $3 state fee here in top of your purchase so there’s always a few dollar bills left over from whatever the bill came to. Theirs.
I wish West would open up a shop. But I bet proximity to YNP, where it is still a federal offense, has something to do with why not. Just a guess.Quote:

I see what you did there, and it was a painfully undercooked joke.
There is a dispensary in West Yellowstone. It’s owned by a friend of mine. How do you live in Jackson and not know about this ?Quote:

Need to VS choose to. Entirely different things.
Taxed? Maybe so but I can buy an 1/8 of good quality for < 15 bucks. In the past a 1/4 was 80-100 bucks. Legalization has brought prices way down even with the added taxes.Quote:
