Quoted from pinlink:Why am I asked to tip when picking up from a local food truck, but not when I go to McDonalds?
Because McDonalds is a multi-billion dollar global corporation.......your food truck operator is probably...not.
I tip pretty generously since the pandemic when picking up carry out. In the past it would depend on the place and might only be a buck or two. I mean, you're handing me a bag of food, not waiting on me and refilling our glasses, etc, which is usually why you tip - -
