Honestly fuck the American tipping culture in general.

I tip in a lot of cases, but there are several where I wonder if I should stop - specifically in the case where I'm simply picking up food that I had ordered. I saw some people saying the "rule" is something about 10% in that case. I have no idea what others do.

I've heard some people tell me they never tip - period, including when dining in. Often they just seem like misanthropes and/or extremely petty and cheap; more recently, it's been something something woke libs, "no one wants to work anymore", Gen Z/Gen Y or some other alt-right horse manure.

However, I do wonder if I've been tipping too much for situations that don't require any tipping at all.

I absolutely will not tip for carryout or counter service, and I'm a very generous tipper otherwise. The only exception is if I'm for some reason paying cash, then maybe I'll drop the change in the bucket.

You don't get an attaboy for pouring me a coffee or grabbing a bag off a shelf and handing it to me.

From my experience in working in restaurants, generally the bussers and servers are the ones who rely on tips most as their hourly rate is abysmally low, whereas Togo specialists are paid a more standard rate.

I worked pizza for 10yr, nah don't tip for counter service, only delivery/actual servers. The cooks don't get tipped out, and if there's no server, I'm not tipping the phone bitch (gender neutral) for picking a box up off the counter behind them and handing it to me.
