I always tip well, but in this case my love of loud alarms would win out
Even for pick up when you’re not a regular?
Good on ya!
(I’m a firm 20% when I’m sitting down but I decline to tip when picking something up at least half the time. Definitely tipped 2020-2 though.)
I usually do 10% on pickups, the cooks still deserve something for their work
It makes me feel a little better that all of them here in California are making at least minimum (as opposed to the sketchy “tipped minimum“). Buttttt minimum usually sucks (maybe $20’s OK living with parents?), so 10% is great man.
Haha, yeah I do it out of fear of restaurant workers and you all should too if you know what’s good for you! Like, they literally have time alone with the food you’re going to eat!
The vast majority of food service workers won’t mess with your food because they’re decent people who are used to the abuse and slander (or libel in this case) that customers throw at them. There are other food service workers who won’t do it because they care about food safety. There are still others who won’t mess with your food because they’ll be fired if they’re caught doing it. These three groups will talk shit about you if they think you’re out of earshot.
Then there are the rare cases where the person is too vindictive and too short-sighted and might mess with your food (but will likely be caught by someone who will fix or remake it before it gets to you). These people never last long in the industry as the rest of us hate them more than customers and will drive them out.

I remember the general attitude of folks who’d post on reddit claiming to be food service workers was very upset that people joked about them messing with food. So I hope that means it’s exceedingly rare.
I think they said they would bad mouth people out of earshot or something though!

Love it 🙂
You reminded me of this guy:
Canned immediately!
Fine by me, Im leaving anyway.
Cool, can I sue over damaged hearing because you are a total POS?
85db or above can cause hearing damage, and every 10db is a doubling of sound so that would be 8x louder than 85 db threshold.
Also for reference, a jet engine is 140db
slowly puts ear buds in and sets noise canceling to 100% as the cashier slowly realizes what I’m about to do
pressuring me THAT HARD to give you money when i already bought your stuff is a sure way to make me cancel the purchase and never return.
press Cancel button
But I want that bagel…
It’s a matter of principle.
If you leave a tip, the terrorists win.
Honestly that’s kind of what they are
They set up a system so they can pay less to their workers, AND get their customers and workers to blame each other for it. They’re scammers, not terrorists.
Intimidation free bagels taste better though
Definitely hitting the alarm and walking out of there … I’ll let them deal with the noise
I’m okay with punishing everyone else with that deafening alarm.

I don’t mind tipping but I it is my choice not yours
… and I choose not to tip counter service.
The only time I tip with counter service is when something is like 3,80€ and I give them 4€ in coins.
At that point, I usually just go “keep it”
mutes phone, proceeds.
I would gladly trigger the alarm.
Think of it as assertiveness training.
I’m gonna trigger that alarm and cheer.
