This server was mad when a church didn’t tip her for a $735 order. Now she’s fired. (school, county)

You're not being thrifty, you're cheap.

That's right. It's not supposed to be her job, and there's no reason for the customer to think it was.

First of all you don’t know that. When I worked in restaurants the servers packaged the orders and made salads. The cooks make the food and put it on the expo. The rest was servers. 735 in food is a lot of work.

Totally wrong. They did not deal with a waitress.

A lot of work for the restaurant. People who do not deal with a waitress cannot be expected to tip the non-existent waitress.

I think it’s a reasonable assumption. Almost anybody knows that a waitress will be involved. The rest of the restaurant does not depend on tips.

How much do you tip the cashier at the supermarket?

Your point is well-taken and would be great for decision makers, not minimum wage employees

Really? That's quite a presumption. They don't have waitresses at Wing Stop. Yet somehow the food winds up in a bag ready for pick-up. Why would anyone think it is different elsewhere?

Now when I go to a restaurant and order takeout from a particular waitress, and know that she's in charge, I tip her.

Because one is a full service restaurant and the other is wing stop. Duh
