Reply to comment by DharmaDivine in Mandatory Tip for Take-Out? by DCcatdad09

Forced tipping for no work still seems wrong.

Yeah, especially since no tips for the actual people who made the food.

That’s the way it works in the industry, tho 🤷🏽‍♀️.

FOH makes an absurdly low hourly wage (I think $5/hr) that is supplemented by tips. BOH receives a significantly higher wage that isn’t supplemented by tips.

The people dealing with hordes of pickup orders are not…working?

I guess my word choice could have been better, but they aren’t servers, and shouldn’t be compensated in the same way.

So you would be fine with a big "pickup fee" to account for workers dealing with pickup orders? I'm sure many angry people on Reddit would be posting about that.

As long as it isn’t a surprise. I get that pick ups are more frequent, and may not have been a part of the business plan pre-pandemic, so something needs to be done. But sneaking fees onto the check is cutting corners, and if they are doing that god only knows what corners they’re cutting with the food.
