Places that used to not ask for tip now asking for tip(when I'm just picking up my order) and I know that shit isn't going to the workers.
Yeah, I will ask workers what the tip-out policy is at questionable places (i.e. Fast Food Service), most of the places that put in these tip screens do not actually tip-out or have some insane policy to make sure workers never claim the money and/or only a small percentage. Like if a tip jar would seem out of place and/or wasn’t there before a store’s POS upgrade I generally assume the management is pocketing the tip (i.e. Five Guys Burgers, cash goes to employees but I’ve been told by a few cashiers that credit card tips seem to vanish into thin air)
Isn't this straight up wage theft?
tip cash right to the person
If you order carryout from a sit-down restaurant, it most likely does go to the worker who's hired to get your order.
I'm not defending the practice because that doesn't seem like a situation where you should have to tip, but just sharing information
Wait staff and bartenders check you out at sit-down restaurants, not cashiers.
When I worked there, we had a dedicated carryout server, and she came to us with previous experience doing the same thing at other restaurants, and last time I spoke to her she was doing curbside at yet another restaurant, so either you're thinking of fast food, or you're conflating your personal experience with other different restaurants, or you're making assumptions
A dedicated carryout server is not a cashier. A cashiers just rings you up. Fast food places like McDonald's have cashiers.
Restaurants that are the equivalent of McDonald's with cashiers and no table service started putting the option to tip there when it never existed prior when they switched to those flip around screens. That is what this meme is mocking, not servers at restaurants with table service.
Right, which is why I was not replying in a top level comment, and I made clear what I was talking about. Take a chill pill
You told me I was making assumptions and I simply clarified that I knew what I was talking about.
No need to project your anger on me.
I'm talking about sit-down restaurants, and you came into the thread to tell me that I was wrong, even though you're talking about a completely different thing
But thanks for reminding me why I never want to go back to reddit
You were talking about sit down restaurants as a reply to someone talking about non-sit down restaurants. Thought you misunderstood, but apparently you just wanted to be wrong.
Have fun with that.
Chill, both of you.
however, now that Walmart has pickup for groceries, I often am, "oops I left a wad of money back there, you can put it in your pocket" just to avoid the Walmart tip process online. Who knows who is getting it. If they workers want tips they should fight to be the "bring the food to the car" people or have an honest collaboration with the "pick the food from the shelves for my order people", I just assume they rotate around.
Anyhow, sometimes it is even pouring rain, and I said, damn! -- then the guy said that unless there was thunder or lightning they had to go into the rain.
