    If you order carryout from a sit-down restaurant, it most likely does go to the worker who’s hired to get your order.

    I’m not defending the practice because that doesn’t seem like a situation where you should have to tip, but just sharing information

        When I worked there, we had a dedicated carryout server, and she came to us with previous experience doing the same thing at other restaurants, and last time I spoke to her she was doing curbside at yet another restaurant, so either you’re thinking of fast food, or you’re conflating your personal experience with other different restaurants, or you’re making assumptions

          A dedicated carryout server is not a cashier. A cashiers just rings you up. Fast food places like McDonald’s have cashiers.

          Restaurants that are the equivalent of McDonald’s with cashiers and no table service started putting the option to tip there when it never existed prior when they switched to those flip around screens. That is what this meme is mocking, not servers at restaurants with table service.

              You told me I was making assumptions and I simply clarified that I knew what I was talking about.

              No need to project your anger on me.

                I’m talking about sit-down restaurants, and you came into the thread to tell me that I was wrong, even though you’re talking about a completely different thing

                But thanks for reminding me why I never want to go back to reddit

                  You were talking about sit down restaurants as a reply to someone talking about non-sit down restaurants. Thought you misunderstood, but apparently you just wanted to be wrong.

                  Have fun with that.
