I’ve been doing take out and finally into sit down sports bars. I know they have had a tough time of it, my response, I tip extremely well. But...I will not pay a covid surcharge. That’s insane. Won’t pay it.
We make a point to order out twice a week with local, small restaurants. Still tip 20% even though all they do is bring it out to the car.
I’m guessing this “surcharge” (I haven’t seen it) is to cover those folks that don’t tip because all the “server” is doing is bringing it out to the car.
Disclaimer - two of my kids are in the food business. We were usually pretty good about tipping. Now we make sure we always are.
AGREE, Had my waist length hair washed and dried checked for split ends, as I have a torn R. Rotator and surgery damaged R. hand. The price was the same, but I tipped the Stylist in cash higher than I normally do.
