feel like I’m encounterimg tip requests with increasing frequency, but not jazzed about the prospect of adding a 20% charge at every point of sale.

    Thank you for your response.

    (1) Working as a server doesn’t require you to pay for special insurance, working as a server doesn’t require replacing tires, and brake pads, and windshield wiper blades, and regular oil changes, and not killing random people by accident.

    (2) A ten minute drive can result in serious injury or death. Walking through a restaurant carries significantly lower risks.

    (3) More expensive? So what? 10% of $50 delivery price instead of 20% of $30 dine-in is what? $5 tip compared to $6 tip, does that seem right?

    (4) Traffic is always awful.

    Always tip your driving waiter more than your foot-traffic waiter.

      For most servers (and most jobs) all of these things are required, just less, since the only way to get to work for most people is to drive
