The Sysco truck has me rolling. That's almost definitely what they do, too. I'm a purchasing agent at a high end resort with multiple restaurants on property. I am the one in charge of ordering the food for these restaurants. Almost everything comes frozen from Sysco or US Foods. Basically all the kitchen staff has to do is put it all together. That doesn't mean that it doesn't taste amazing, because it does, but that pasta came in a huge bag of frozen pasta, that sauce is made with frozen sun dried tomatoes, and that bread on the side was frozen at the beginning of the day.

It's not even a food safety issue. You're not legally liable for food brought in by a third party from outside the restaurant unless you as the restaurant then take that food and handle it and further prepare it somehow. *THAT* is against health regs pretty much everywhere. Bringing in a can of coke zero is not.

Tipping on Takeout? Tipping on FRONT-DESK ORDERING? I thought everybody ignored those. No wonder people have been writing articles about tipping fatigue. People don't stand up and say that's stupid! We came to a consensus as a NA society that only 4 sectors got tips: wait staff, drivers/parkers, barbers, and cleaners. Going beyond that is only asking for trouble.

[@litapd311]

what do you mean by drivers/parkers? like valets or delivery drivers? and i agree, i already don't like tipping these services but it's at least well established precedence (also delivery drivers if that's what you meant) if you're tipping on pick up orders then you're a doormat, beaten down by the simple act of people asking you for more money than you expected

[@wjefoiafjalfkjadfjk7045]

I clean and I've never seen a tip in my life. Of course the people don't actually have to see me, so I get it.

[@Phoenix0F8]

The ideal solution would be for companies to just, y'know, pay their workers. Doordash is my main gig and an easy 60% of my income is from customer tips, not being paid by the actual company contracting my work. I have never and will never beg anyone for a tip, whether over the phone or in person, but I always appreciate it when they are given. Pro tip: Always tip in cash if possible, since Doordash is known to play fucky-wucky with tips and pockets a lot of the extra money themselves, or hands it off to sweeten bad orders for other drivers. If you hand your driver a cash tip, it's theirs and [depending on how civics-minded they are or are not] they might not even report it on their taxes. [pay your taxes, kids. it would certainly be a shame if someone came away from this comment thinking that it's cool to not pay taxes. that's the last thing I would ever want.]

In Germany, cafes and such will also ask for no self-bought drinks and eating being brought in (because they don't want you to just eat and drink your pre-bought stuff and basically just use their chairs to hang out which could have gone to paying customers instead), but if you put the stuff in your bag and just don't take it out in the store, it's always fine.

In my experience as someone who's worked a fair bit of food service, 99% of the time policies like "no outside food" and the like are just fucking shortsighted idiot rules made up by moronic owners who stumbled into owning a business merely due to having wealth and then proceed to basically just cause problems. Then cashiers and waiters just get forced to enforce those rules becasue they'll get passive aggressively reminded of the rules if they let things slide. Shit is rampant in the industry I stg.

[@xaf15001]

It probably started because some guy wanted a good place to sit at but not order anything from.

I believe they often don’t allow outside drinks due to alcohol reasons. And those regulations aren’t something I would fuck with personally

Tipping is not a thing in my country, you tip a couple of dollars in rare occasions when you feel like it or to round off a bill. I understand that tipping in north america is basically required because they don't pay waiters but it sounds like tipping anyone is just a scam, they are going to stop paying every minim wage worker altogether and have them rely on tips. Personally I wouldn't tip out of principle to not promote this, but maybe I don't get it. So to summarize: NL based

[@legion999]

It is a scam by the business owners

[@SirToastyToes]

Yup restaurants can pay less than minimum with the argument that tips make it more than minimum. This way the restaurant doesn't have to pay full wage and the customers have to tip or they're the assholes

[@HawkOfGP]

I've never tipped in my life. And I'm not cheap!

[@litapd311]

the argument against not tipping is that "you are paying servers less" but the law in america is that tipped jobs will still get paid minimum wage if the tips aren't enough. so if you don't tip, you (in some way) contribute to someone getting paid minimum wage which is unlivable in many states that being said, i only tip at sit-down restaurants, everywhere else can go screw themselves. if people have issues with me not tipping they should ask their bosses why they're getting paid minimum wage instead of being mad at me!

[@JohnDoe-xm1ir]

@@legion999 It's also a perfect scam because they turn the primary victims, the employees against the secondary victims, the customers by making the employees hate customers who don't want to tip. Meanwhile, the business owners save money by paying their employees less and get to partially shift the responsibility for it.

[@Hakasedess]

I mean, it is their property you're on. Businesses can go way past that to begin with, there are places with dress codes, imposing a ruleset for what you can or can not wear, that goes far beyond telling you to not bring a coke zero into the store

I was in Walmart the other day and nobody in the story was allowed to break a 20 or give you change. Not the the registers, not customer service, not a manager. So on top of tip culture being ridiculous the stores are doing less for and expecting "gifted" money. Don't get me wrong I love self checkout but why is it that workers aren't able to do anything anymore. I don't think it's because we are at a high peak for quick change artists but maybe we are and I just don't know it.

[@user6122]

we literally can't open the registers without another rep unless you had two people at the same register and still refused you, then I don't know

Go to a bank if you want change. And yes, it is partly due to criminals that many stores only open the drawer upon purchasing items.

[@it-s-a-mystery]

The quick change con thing is kind of irrelevant though, isn't it? What i mean is that if workers are able to follow the rule "be as unhelpful as possible and don't break change" they can just as easily follow "Only ever do one transaction at a time." Or maybe they really are going nuclear for no reason, idk

[@TheIronCode]

what a rollercoaster of emotion. definitely neurotypical.

[@tabula_rosa]

chat pro tip; if someone says "you cant bring outside drink", go, "okay. can i get a glass?". and when they give you a glass, you pour your drink into it and put/throw the bottle away. the server doesnt care, they just know they'll get in trouble from the manager if they do a walkthru of the dining area and there's some other business's product there. glass solves the problem for everyone.

I am on the worker's side in 99% of cases but I'm with NL here. It is not a big deal at all for someone to bring in outside food and drink unless they're making a big mess. I bet the manager was just on a power trip or their boss had been getting onto them about silly things like that. Just let people chill, there's no reason to introduce more potential unnecessary conflicts with customers. The customers are generally more than willing and able to do that themselves.
