Tipping shouldnt even be a thing. Employers should pay their employees enough and employees should be happy with what they get on their paycheck, if not then go find another job.

I usually get guilted into leaving a buck or two, but I’d be dishonest if I said I didn’t actively seek places that don’t ask for tips.

I kind of like the Firehouse, Jimmy Johns, Jersey Mikes app ordering experience. Just walk in and grab it off the little shelf.

I'm done with tipping. by el Gaucho
If waitresses were hot and wore skimpy clothes they’d get better tips
You don’t ever see hooters waitresses complaining
I assure you they do

Restaurants are the worst value ever these days.
Went to brunch yesterday. $44 dollars for two omlettes with a few shrimp on top, hash browns, grits, a biscuit and 1 fountain drink. It was a walk up to the counter and then they bring you your food place. I had to fill up my own drink.
Tip options started at 20%. I did a custom tip at $5 and almost immediately felt like a sucker. The food runner who brought the food asked if we needed anything as soon as she dropped off the food. In that instant I said not right now. Turns out there was no butter/jelly for the biscuit. She never came around again.

I'm asking you if not leaving a tip for a take-out Subway sandwich is being "an a-hole" in your opinion.
No. I don't tip at subway.
But I was replying to this:

That's exactly what I say to the people expecting a tip in these places. You can get nothing and like it, or work somewhere else.

If a salary type pay hits food places, cost of food will go crazy.
The only other options is to walk to the counter pay and it goes to a kitchen and you come up and get the food or all automated

I always tip generously to waiters. During Covid, I started tipping $5 when I picked up to-go orders and have continued that practice. I never tip any of the people that surprise me with "an extra question".

i came to the exact same conclusion at Subway yesterday. I am not tipping these people anymore

You were replying to:
I specifically said in the OP that this was about take-out and drive-thru.
I said I tip when dining in a sit-down restaurant.
So you are telling us that you score very low in reading comprehension?

That's being an arse. Don't say anything. Just hit "no tip" or "zero", or whatever it is. The fact that you think you're taking some high-minded moral stance and then engaging in some misplaced virtue signaling over it is odd.

Would you like to tip: 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%
That's what annoys me. It used to be 10%, 15%, and then 20% was the top option. Now everyone expects 20% as the minimum.

This, and you don't have to deal with the automatic request for a tip.
