I won’t use Door Dash ...
I’m off topic and maybe old-school, but I can’t understand how getting a meal delivered that’s been prepared for close to 30 minutes demands a premium price.
$16/hr, or $32,000 per year, is a crap wage. It is OK for a teenager. But lots of places aren’t even paying $16.
I don’t believe in the govt minimum wage and don’t expect anyone else to do what I do...but I like being generous with ppl who serve me. I have paid child care as much as $28/hr.
“Sounds like you worked in the business in a younger lifetime. :)”
Actually no. I never used to tip for takeout until it was explained to me by a friend. And the scamdemic has pushed lots of ppl into poverty with our high inflation. I enjoy blessing others as the Spirit directs. I don’t tip well for crappy service.
Get the guy who knows what you want to write your order down for you. The next time you come in and your guy isn’t there, show them that piece of paper. It worked for me when a waiter came up with a dish for me during a time when I was having multiple food reactions. He wrote the “recipe” down for me on company notepaper so that any waiter seeing it knew what I wanted.
Or decent language.
“Restaurant employees get paid crap.”
They do. But they know that when they accept the job. I did. Ninety cents an hour plus tips.
If they want more pay, get better skills.
This person needs a good ass beating.
I might try that. I asked him to tell me what exactly I should call it, but they still get it wrong. I might have him write in in Chinese...:)
“If they want more pay, get better skills.”
I don’t disagree.
But it does not take away my obligation to bless them with a generous gratuity.
“But it does not take away my obligation to bless them with a generous gratuity.”
I agree. I always over-tip, having been a waitress in my late teens and early twenties. It’s a horrid job, although some people like my sister-in-law, really like it and do it their whole lives.
I vowed not to have that job forever. I got better skills and then got more pay.
Always over-tip. Even if service is slow. It most often isn’t the waiter’s fault. They have no control over the kitchen, but sometimes get blamed for the problem. (If the waiter’s attitude is a problem, then I re-think the amount of the tip.)
I’ll tip for bad service if it is clear the server is just having a bad day. In that case, it is more to lift spirits than for service.
I don’t tip for bad attitude.
The obligation is my own as a Christian. I don’t hold anyone else to my obligation.
I figured it would have to be in Chinese. Get him to write it in both Chinese and English. Make copies!
