re: Tipping Protocol for Order at Counter Restaurant??

Never worked a restaurant but I understand how the service industry is set up. Food is priced in a structure that allows for overhead, employees, and service worker's pay is figured in with assuming people will tip service. When someone doesn't, it's the same as walking out of a store with out paying for an item. The result is everyone is affected, prices eventually go up or quality is lowered for everyone. A waiter must use his time to box, bag, fix your drink in a go container, and include whatever side requests, condiments, etc... you asked for. You don't tip, you've still taken some of his time and his pay will be affected. You might get over but eventually everyone will pay for your slack. 10% minimum,

I'll tip the person who puts my food together on a to-go order at a typical restaurant, but I'm not tipping the cashier at any counter service place unless I'm a regular customer.

Learn from this one, kids

This is a quality troll

The presentation is well done and logical while being on the cusp of being over the top
