Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID?
Today@lemm.ee 9 months agoI get that. On top of increased cost we got into this overtipping to help people who were working and it’s all gotten out of hand.

yeah i'm not even counting tipping. that shit is insane. lots of places in my city now want a 20% tip, and a 5% fee. on top of a 9% tax. So basically your mean is now 35% more than the prices in the menu.

I still tip 15% most of the time. Tip flation is a scam when tips are already a percentage of the total. Don’t feel forced to tip more.

speak for yourself. in my city people shame you for not tipping 30%.

That’s surprising. But I live in a pretty medium city

😳 US pricing in restaurants felt always crazy to me, but this just sounds crazy!

We doordash or order from the restaurant more than going out because of the tip and restaurant alcohol costs.

Don’t forget to tip your dasher!
Nah, fuck that. I stopped ordering from apps. If I want takeout, I call the restaurant or use the restaurant’s website directly. GrubHub and Door dash add fees to the items’ cost and then delivery costs and then want you to tip the driver. I can drive myself, or walk in some cases, and pickup my own food. My orders went from like $95 down to like $65 instantly!

I do usually check the restaurant website first to see if they have their own system or just link to dd, etc. Need to start doing the call in/pick up.
