Why pay at all if you have to go to the trouble of picking it

up and actually carrying it out? They don’t bring it out to your car do they? TIC👀

Is that pre or post tax.... TIC! :)**
Vtskier1 • 04/18/22 06:37 PM ET
Tip calculator made easy - (bill x 2)/10 rounded up to make a whole number**

You are not accounting for for windspeed and the corriolis effect**
HokieDan95 • 04/19/22 12:14 AM ET
I like to multiply by 0.175 or 0.2 if I feel they could use it and round up**
WilmaHokie • 04/18/22 09:42 PM ET
No..... (bill/10)*2**
turkeywinghokie • 04/18/22 07:27 PM ET
Yep. This is correct formula **
pburg_hokie • 04/18/22 11:02 PM ET
Actually they both give the same answer **

$1 for ever $5 on the bill, + 1 if the service was good**

Is that the place that has the nice garden eating area in the back?

Yup - go every year for Easter **

Had lunch yesterday with the family and a $225 bill...
FlintMS • 04/18/22 05:18 PM ET
So it still isn’t ringing through that servers can only bring to the table
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:39 PM ET
Excellent point.... the food was in warmers in view.
FlintMS • 04/18/22 05:49 PM ET
Short staffed wasn’t the waitstaff plan for the day, of course.**

Thread hijack: how are we dealing with carry out and even casual fast food
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 04:47 PM ET
I often tip around 20% here in NOVA, cuz I don't know how anybody gets by
hucareshokiesrul • 04/18/22 09:57 PM ET
I don't tip for take out.
HokieGator • 04/18/22 06:09 PM ET
Actually, it can be quite a bit of work to do to go
turkeywinghokie • 04/18/22 06:34 PM ET
What do the restaurant workers do differently now they didn’t do then?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:41 PM ET
Well, almost NO service.
HokieJay • 04/18/22 07:16 PM ET
Completely different scenario though, no?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 07:31 PM ET
?????**
HokieJay • 04/19/22 11:00 AM ET
I gave a little extra to help them through very tough times
Tank • 04/18/22 05:54 PM ET
And as God is my witness, that extra $10 kept them alive!**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 06:00 PM ET
I'm sure it didn't, but it made me feel a little better.
Tank • 04/18/22 06:03 PM ET
It’s the universal rationale, yep!**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 06:04 PM ET
Just a matter of personal preference.**
Tank • 04/18/22 06:12 PM ET
Allow dine in customers that they can give full service to…**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:43 PM ET
And who do you tip, management?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:45 PM ET
If you tip at Tony’s in Fairfax, you tip the owner!**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:49 PM ET
Relevance?**
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 06:02 PM ET
Irrelevance seems to be contagious.**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 06:41 PM ET
I don't like the concept one bit, but usually go with 10% because I know
HokieNoVA • 04/18/22 05:23 PM ET
But since your philosophy has nothing to do with the restaurant’s
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:43 PM ET
Actually it's management screwing the low man. They should pay them. **
133743Hokie • 04/18/22 07:17 PM ET
But any customer’s tipping policy has no effect on that at all. But you

Correct. It's managements responsibility to pay their employees, not the
133743Hokie • 04/19/22 11:01 AM ET
Is 10% on carry out screwing the low man? Feels above market to me, but
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:45 PM ET
Those you tip don’t set prices or policies but you think your tip
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:46 PM ET
No**
BG Hokie • 04/18/22 05:50 PM ET
I generally tip 10% for carry out.**
MP4VT2004 • 04/18/22 05:01 PM ET
Why pay at all if you have to go to the trouble of picking it ◄
PhotoHokieNC • 04/18/22 05:44 PM ET
Paying for the product and the preparation, but you know that**
133743Hokie • 04/18/22 07:19 PM ET
Still tipping hookers 25% -------------> **
FfxStationHokie • 04/18/22 05:01 PM ET
Just the tip.**
MP4VT2004 • 04/18/22 05:03 PM ET
I still tip a little higher than "normal" for delivery and haircut.
Tank • 04/18/22 04:53 PM ET
Jus round up on to a nice $5 or $10 **
VTCC 65 • 04/18/22 04:52 PM ET
Server probably quit after that. Manager will pocket the extra
hoosnowahokie • 04/18/22 04:40 PM ET
She probably went home crying**
Brown Water • 04/18/22 04:44 PM ET
Aren't you concerned about how a 22% tip will upend life on earth?**
