Ok, Let's Discuss The Topic of TIPPING

If you want to tip just select no tip in the app and when you pick up the food just tip the person directly in cash.

They should just raise the wages of employees. In my simple view, tipping promotes favoritism (attractive service people would get tipped more than less attractive people, there's the risk that people won't tip and also the retribution employees may have on non-tippers, and stuff like that.)

We rarely tip down here in the Southern Hemisphere.

Pay in cash and tips are 100% up to you. Pay digitally and you get hit with ads. One being for the tip.

I never tip for carry out - where all I do is go up to a counter and pick up my order -same with places like Panera where I walk up, place my order, pick it up, and then clean up my dishes when I'm done - yet they have a place on the screen to add a tip - ridiculous! I tip at sit down restaurants and at the salon where I get my nails and hair done.
Vacations are a different matter - but it's always because someone provides a service and as Andy mentioned, it really depends on the country and their customs.

I'd tell her I already tipped on-line, and to think before opening her pie hole. But nicely.

Never tip.

Let the owner pay the staff properly.

If they want to factor that into the price of items so be it.

1. Yeah, you should complain to the resteraunt. Maybe verify that the online tips are going to the staff and dthe shitty owner is not keeping them.

2. There is no reason that being a waitress cannot be a viable job. When I worked in a resteraunt back in the 80s, many of the waitresses were supporting themselves on the money they made there. It will be the rare waitress or bartender that reaches MIDDLE CLASS status, but the difference between "WORKING POOR and "POVERTY" is signifcant.
