Ask Anything on Sidechat | Hopefully not a stupid question but does tipping change when going to like a quick serve place like a coffee shop, subway, chipotle etc or should it still be at least 20% like a restaurant? I usually do 10-15% at those places but idk if that’s rude?

don't tip at fast casual

For me it depends on their base pay more than the type of restaurant. If they make 2.30 an hour plus tips I go for 20% (unless the service was shit). If they’re at Starbucks making $18 which is more than me, nah fam. You’re not getting a tip, sorry

I think it really just comes down to how much you appreciate the service. It doesn’t matter what kind of establishment it is or if it’s owned by a Rich mf. If you genuinely feel the staff is taking care of you and you appreciate their service, then you tip. And I’d tip good at that, 20% at a few places I love like my favorite coffee shop. They show kindness and care to me, so I show kindness and care to them

No tip. Not mandatory unless you feel they did something extra. If they are serving you, then yes.

20% at a restaurant?!? Are you insane?! 10% only unless it’s OUTSTANDING service then 15%. Coffee shops get $1 tip per drink if I’m feeling gracious for the day (I also go to the same local small business coffee shops daily so I’m already supporting them) same $1 per drink for alcoholic beverages for the bartenders tip jar

And don’t ever tip at a fast food place. They are owner by millionaires and if you think they pay out those tips… likely not happening. Instead find small business restaurants to support. My general rule of thumb; is I don’t sit down, they don’t bring me a menu, and they don’t serve it to me: no tip.

Yeah never come to my job, we make $4 an hour to wait on you hand & foot. If you don’t appreciate service enough to tip appropriately then you aren’t the type of person who should be going to sit down resturants. Respectfully.
