It just sounds like a strange American tax that is paid for food. The problem of tipping is getting worse. Why pay extra for the basic level of food preparation with no additional services rendered? In what scenario would you not pay extra? Why has this become like this for food but not flowers for example?
I remain confused about what you are tipping for at all for pickup orders? I assume you are under 30? Does purchasing food just equal tip, period? Is it totally detached from a service element and just a kind of bizarre tax for young Americans?
Curious why a dollar or two? Do you just generally feel that food is underpriced? Is there a scenario where you would just pay the asked price?
The best thing about gig deliveries is dropoff service imo. I never see the driver so cash isn’t an option. Uber eats at least makes it easy to adjust tips and I often do adjust if surprisingly early or if they forget a drink.
It’s now expected that you tip even if YOU pick it up. I do not understand
Good luck with the logistics of that. Just ban tipping. It’s bad for business, bad for individuals (in the long run), and a highly discriminatory practice.
I’m into hot grills with big nobs
Damn, is Lemmy really so quaint that these questions aren’t better served on more specialized communities?
I don’t miss (in fact I blocked the sub) askreddit with every question being would you rather sex your sex like this or sex your sex like that? But seems like a lot of super specific questions popping up here that could help build existing communities.
Try this in /c/phones or /c/technology perhaps?
Sure it’s cat and mouse, but the mouse doesn’t do well if it just let’s the cat bat it around the room.
I just purchased my first Lorex camera. Won’t likely have time to tinker with it for another week or so, but can let you know if it seems good. Hoping to switch to their entire local infrastructure.
How the hell do you know what apps are on my phone?
Legislation is Way overdue for this nonsense. My home security cameras are all being disabled and unable to record videos as they have for years because the company (fuck you Arlo) has decided they want users to just suddenly start paying subscription fees. If we let them every company will eventually move to this model. Even staunch capitalists need to recognize that this is an issue begging for legislation. Stop this insanity.
$100 if you are patient enough
Cmon, hopefully they are setting stage for the return of Clippy!
Or a gun license!! Oh wait, it’s Ohio.
So not an osteopath.
Mechanism found!
You should try Lemmy bruh. Since you already installed it, write a one star playstore review then delete and never look back.
Now you’re just trying to pick a fight.
But isn’t it only the front house workers and delivery people on this pay mechanism? Those people aren’t involved with a pickup order so you are just giving money to the very business that is already underpaying people. I presume some might split that tip amongst the servers and delivery people, but who knows? Even if so, this is really just charity on your part since those people weren’t involved with your food. I’m not going to argue with the ocean here - seems your practice is becoming quite normal, I just don’t understand it and think it sadly contributes to the underlying issue and keeps businesses more powerful and employees less.
