#BreakfastBagel #OrderOnline #PickUpInPerson #TippingQuestion
Hey there! 🌟 Ordering a breakfast bagel online and paying in advance to pick it up in person is a convenient way to enjoy your meal! 🥯 But when the option to tip pops up during the checkout process, it can be a bit confusing. Don’t worry, I’ll break it down for you!
Understanding Tipping for Pick-Up Orders:
When you’re ordering food online for pick-up, tipping is typically a way to show appreciation for the service provided, even though you aren’t dining in at the restaurant. Here are a few things to consider:
1. Supporting Restaurant Staff:
– Just like when dining in, the staff preparing your order are working hard to ensure you have a great experience. Tipping is a way to thank them for their efforts.
2. Optional But Appreciated:
– Tipping for pick-up orders is optional, but it’s always appreciated. If you’ve had a positive experience or want to support the restaurant staff, a tip is a great way to show your gratitude.
Factors to Consider Before Tipping:
– Quality of service received.
– Size of your order.
– Timing and convenience of your pick-up.
– Personal budget and willingness to tip.
So, the next time you’re ordering a breakfast bagel online for pick-up, feel free to tip if you’d like to show your appreciation for the service provided! It’s a small gesture that can make a big difference to the restaurant staff. Enjoy your breakfast bagel! 🌞🥯

Tipping started in Europe with aristocrats tipping servants and working class. It came over the ocean. It stopped (mostly) in Europe but persisted in America.
Modern tipping patterns are a natural consequence of stagnant wages and complacent patrons avoiding awkwardness. People realized you could just ask all the time and patrons would just oblige.
Just ignore it. It’s an attempt to get more money.
I only tip for service from people who don’t make full service wages. Sometimes for full service if it’s reallllllly exceptional service. I also don’t do generic tipping, ie a random tip you don’t know who it’s going to.
In your situation, it doesn’t sound like that applies.
I never tip when picking up. Tipping is also out of hand in the us ever since Covid
“ask and you will receive”
they ask because there will be some people who say yes no matter what. that’s all there is to it.
Seems like the answer is no
It’s guilt tipping. If you ask for a tip, people will feel obligated to tip. It’s the same reason why minimum wage+ employees ask for tips for counter service. If you are doing the work yourself, just don’t tip. It has gotten ridiculous. What’s even crazier is that a lot of these places have tip jars that go right to the owner.
Tipping is gratuity, a thank you for providing extra/specialized/outstanding service. But it seems like EVERY business anymore asks for tips. I just got a pizza from a place where you take it home and cook it yourself. My food is raw, no I’m not leaving a tip. Min wage here is over $16/hr anyway.
You don’t tip at McDonald’s, why does this bagel place ask for them? Don’t worry about it, tip if you want to. Don’t if you don’t want to.
Tipping culture in the US is beyond control and is actually detrimental to the servers: a. Owner uses tipping to justify non-livable wage, b. Decrease customer demand for service (i.e. they rather diy then use the service)
You should tip if the people you’re tipping make less than minimum wage. Servers on restaurants make like 2 bucks an hour. Thats why u tip. Anyone else asking for tips is taking advantage and cheating the servers.
They are trying to guilt you into over paying. Personally I only tip if there is a clear service being provided by someone that I know is severely underpaid. Pretty much just servers and delivery people
This tipping madness won’t stop until everyone stops tipping..!! I know there are Millions of staff that live off of tipping but, that’s not the customers fault… Management needs to pay you your wage… If I so choose to give you personally something for exceptional service, it’s MY OPTION not your bosses… I’m sorry but, that’s the freaking truth… I do my job well and I make the same money as if I just do enough… I don’t hold people hostage by forcing them to pony up extra just because I showed up, just being there is your job…
Tipping started as a “bribe” for workers, mostly for luggage handlers. TIP stood for To Insure Promptness.
They are also asking you to tip BEFORE you get your food. What if they get your order wrong or are very slow in making it?
I still tip 5-10% at a couple of places we order from frequently that consistently provide good service. But otherwise I never tip on the app. If the food is ready on time and the staff is friendly, I’ll time a few dollars in cash at the counter.
Tipping culture has exploded to ridiculous levels since the pandemic. There was kind of a need during the pandemic. Restaurants were closed or at extremely reduced capacity. People recognized those who were out in the service industry were putting their lives at risk. They were in the front lines of the spread. The general population felt sorry and increased tipping during that moment in time. What happened is that software developers filled out the need to add tipping options to situations that didn’t normally require it. Then, since capitalism is capitalism. Why write and rewrite software that already exists. As all the point of sale systems got updated. The tipping algorithms were already in place and got sold to every other company. Regardless of whether it made sense.
So, tipping exists everywhere now. It’s a product of capitalism making money off software written during the pandemic. It was an unintentional by-product of the pandemic. That’s how I see it, at least.
I find myself just hitting no tip a lot. I momentarily put myself in the workers’ position. If their job is to make a sandwich in a fast food line, nope, no tip. The sandwich maker isnt doing anything special for me, they slap a few ingredients together hand me my halfassed food and they move to the next one. If there is even an iota of a service being performed above and beyond the bare minimum requirements of their job, I tip. For example, I order carryout at a restaurant. If the host/hostess walks it out to me, I tip. If I walk in to grab it, there is no tip. That walking out and delivering it is new to that job role and adds more to do and having to pay attention to the customer. The host doesn’t have to do that for everyone that they deal with.
No one in particular. This store like many other stores cannot really afford to commission a completely custom POS / online ordering system and it’s just using one designed by someone else that already comes with a tipping feature and many times the people running these businesses do not have the knowledge or expertise to disable this feature
A lot of times when people throw a fit about an iPad asking for a tip or something like that it’s the same thing. Just a sort of prefab POS system that the owner either can’t or doesn’t know how to disable the tipping feature on
When ordering at a counter, using cash avoids the touchscreen tip option. That said, I do sometimes tip if I feel it’s warranted.
That tip probably doesn’t even make it to the workers. There’s a place near my office that asks for a tip when you order online. The 1st time I ordered there, when I went to pick up my order I asked who gets the tip & the girls handing me my food said “what tips?”
If I have a server I tip but if I’m picking up I don’t. When I’m traveling for work and it’s the company’s money then I’ll tip everywhere. People have a lot of different ways of doing it but that’s how I do it.
You don’t tip. Look offended that it was even asked. If THEY give you a side eye for not tipping, tell them to fuck off. They are guilting people to tip who shouldn’t tip. I am telling you this as someone who has worked in the industry for over a decade.
Tipping started out as a way to thank someone serving you for doing a good job.
It snowballed into an expectation, and laws got made allowing owners to pay “tipped employees” less than minimum wage because the tips would make up for it.
Now, with the proliferation of the iPad checkout, everyone just enables the tip option because some people are going to click the button and give you extra money even if you don’t “deserve” it.
I agree that it is way out of control and the lines are getting blurred between who you should tip (those being paid less than minimum wage) and who is just sticking their hand out going “Me too!”.
Yet another shameless cash grab, just don’t tip
Tipping generally isn’t just for the waiter that you speak to when eating at a restaurant, but for all of the people working there. Even when ordering take out, someone is still cooking your food, cleaning dishes, packaging it up and coordinating your order.
Whether you think that work is worthy of a tip is up to you. I’d consider it unnecessary, but typically still give a $1 or 2 at places I like and go to regularly.
I don’t “guilt-tip” so much as I “fear-tip.“ I’m afraid if I don’t tip, they’re going to spit in my takeout or something. It’s like how you can’t be outspoken or critical with restaurant employees because they might spit in your food or pee in your drink. Or just skimp out on something. Tbh we shouldn’t have to live like this.
I have three times refused an automatic tip , stating it wasn’t listed on the menu. No fuse they removed it. They know my refusal to be robbed won’t matter at the end of the day as they will rip off all the others to timid to protest or that don’t notice.
When ordering at a counter and they cashier turned the iPad to me and said it wants to ask a question, I said no thanks, I don’t do surveys. Then, how much, holding up cash. F their greed.
Ill tip certain places on a pickup depending on how much effort they put into getting my order ready, not as much as I’d i went in though. You can tell when things get thrown haphazardly into a bag.
Honestly one of my favorite places to order to go is Olive garden, nice containers that are usually organized well, and you get enough salad for like 3 days lol. Somebody has to prep all that and get it ready to go.
Another one is Pizza. I usually ask for my pizza to be well done, i like a little crisp, a little char. Some places don’t give a fuck so when i open the box and see some pale white cheese on there, they ain’t getting tipped and I’m not ordering from them again. But when i do see a little black on there? Yeah I’m gonna tip cause i want them to know i appreciate the little bit of extra effort i asked of them.
But this is pick-up at sitdown places. I don’t do uber eats or anything like that.
I’m also probly not tipping for a bagel unless it’s worlds best bagel or something, lol.
So the employees don’t spit on your bagel.
You’re paying for lack of dick flavoring
The problem with tipping is that it’s allowing a lot of businesses that should not be open to stay in business.
If you can’t put together a plan for a restaurant that is sustainable without relying on charity, then you shouldn’t have the restaurant.
The owners are looking to make money by fucking over their employees and expecting you to pay them, I’m not willing to do that
Bosses refuse to pay their employees a reasonable wage so you are expected to compensate for that.
It’s just stupid.
Tipping is a good tool to appreciate someones work but it shouldn’t be expected
At the restaurant I work at the tips from pickup orders goes to the kitchen
Tipping zero ngl
I tip when I’m picking up cause I assume it goes to the people that made my food.
You’re keeping them alive so they’re boss doesn’t have to
Tipping is for delivery. Not pick up. Periodt.
I ordered coffee un Colorado the other day and it cost $3. The tipping option were $1, $2 and $3. There was no option for no tip. You needed to tell the server, no tip. I laughed and said no tip. She proceeded to pull her phone out and check her email before serving the coffee..
I look forward to that coffee shop, shutting down.
Never tip for takeout
Tipping culture is so messed up now.
My rule is that I don’t tip if I have to pay before seeing my food. Unless it’s delivery to my house/work etc. otherwise it’s no different than fast food counter.
