I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits.
I cancelled my order and got local street tacos instead.
Over COVID I tipped 20-25% times we're tough for everybody and service workers kept it all going. But in other words back to normal I've made a conscious effort to put it back in the 15 to 20 range.
And everyone wants a tip, even just picking up food you're asked to tip.
They don't actually force you, it's just very strongly encouraged. Like some places will have you tip while the cashier/server is staring you right in the eye, so if you hit 'No Tip' they give you a disapproving glare.
