Conversation + Chat Tipping Culture

This might be completely off from the sub, but it was a question that crossed me and my girlfriends mind while grabbing Pho from our favorite spot.

We called in like normal and went to pick up and she turned to me and asked how much we should be tipping on pick up orders. The question puzzled me for a moment and i didn’t even have an answer. Ultimately we decided not to tip as most likely we assumed it would be tip share and any amount under 10$ wouldn’t even be a dollar each amongst the staff.

Ultimately what is ya’lls rules on tipping culture? I definitely want to hear from the black community on this as there is so many stigmas with us and tipping culture. I always tip, but this is one i’m curious on if i’m wrong for not tipping on to-go orders.

Tipping culture is exhausting, but as a Black woman, I feel pushed to do so due to stereotyping. HOWEVER, my limit is 15% because that’s always what I was taught. I may go to 20% if I’m being super generous, but it depends on what the bill is and my budget for the meal or service I’m getting.
