context: (my reasoning here is only tip when i’ve been served by waitstaff who plausibly have wages that are substantially tips)

oh wait actually - so since lockdown i’ve switched to a heuristic of not tipping when i just pick up an order, idk if this makes sense
like theoretically now i’d only tip if i sat down and had a waiter / waitress

As someone who used to work curbside pickup pre-pandemic. Yes, I made more per hour, but they kept my shit to 4 or fewer hours on those days so tips were essential for me making enough to have made my trip to work even worth it that day.

Plus, I worked as a hostess otherwise and made significantly less than every other position in the restaurant with hours and tips combined so curbside pickup days were my most profitable

In normal times I would tip less or not at all for pickup, but I figure I'm lucky to still have a stable job, I can afford to spread it around a bit

pick up at least 15%, delivery at least 20%
since I buy a lot at once for pick up I feel like 15% on $200+ is still good
