Tipping on a takeout order is just subsidizing a business who doesn't want to pay their employees proper wages.
i have bartended and waited tables; if you work in a good busy restaurant you can make bank; i will gladly take the tips

once you have the mindset you are a salesman and the menu is your product the money will follow ; its no different then making commission on a car sale

what pisses me off is when someone wants 20% on a take out order who gets paid a non-tipping wage; if you are a professional waiter its a legit difficult job to time courses, knowledge of your menu etc...you are being paid (tip) to create an experience; fucking handing me a bag of take out food that the really labor was in the kitchen preparing that food doesn't not deserve an additional fee(tip)

even if you work at a chain restaurant and they put you on take out they up your wage for that shift

I promise you if you walked into Ruth Chris or say even Sweetwater Tavern and told the wait staff hey we are going to start paying you a wage and nix tipping there be an uproar. The tipping in restaurants was to make your waitstaff salesmen; the more they sale the more the restaurant makes and the more the server makes. A waiter is no different then a car salesman.

They are always free to leave and work somewhere else.

I rarely tip on takeout unless it’s a big order.

exactly

i am annoyed with tipping full wage employees

if you are working at say a Chinese take out with no table service you are getting minim wage at the least

if you are a waiter at restaurant you are getting like $5 or less an hour plus tips; its a commission base job no different then car salesmen or realtor

you know a job that no one is up in arms about but is basically commission; auto mechanic, no work no pay and the sales people are the service advisors
