I do not understand why when I pick up food it asks for me a 20% tip. Maybe I'm off base but isn't, as a bare minimum, the job of someone making a pizza to make a pizza? As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for a number of years, and been part of a chain closure because a manager was stealing tips, I do not understand why anyone would tip for pickup. As someone whose prepared the food for pickups, I can say 100% that none of us in the kitchen thought what we were doing deserved more money than the rate we were being paid.
- ramphastidae 5y agoTipping is absolutely not expected for pickups. Delivery apps shamelessly try to get you to do so, but it is definitely not normal.

I don’t mind having the option available, but I think it’s a dark pattern where you feel pressured to say yes or disappoint the person at the counter. That said there’s one restaurant near me which uses Toast, which makes the dining experience so much nicer imo. I just ask for the receipt, scan the QR code with my phone, pick one of the suggested tips and pay with apple pay. I wish every restaurant used it
