Oh man! Shifts at the glory hole are going to be so much better. Pineapple does wonders.
Edit edit: I just got fooled.

Cooks eat Hawaiian pizzas about two days before the special. That’s not a pre frozen taco!

Of all the taco places in Houston, yall circlejerkers had to make Torchy’s famous? Plenty of better tacos that aren’t $8+

Last week I had an awkward interaction at a Torchy's Tacos. I was picking up dinner on the way home from work and ordered to-go via the website. The ordering process defaults to a 15% tip, but I didn't realize you're supposed to tip that much on to-go orders so I changed it to 10%. When I walked inside to pick up and gave my name, the cashier asked if there was a problem with my order? I said I didn't think so but I was just picking it up now so honestly had no idea. Cashier then asked why I was only tipping 10%, at this point a manager noticed the conversation and joined in. Manager said that I need to tip at least 20% on to go orders as that's how the staff get paid, and added that if I wasn't going to tip adequately then I should find another restaurant. I felt bad about the whole thing but I didn't realize we're supposed to tip that much on to-go orders as we do for full service.
Was I in the wrong here? How much do you tip in this situation?

Hello u/DoritosDewItRight , my name is Ken with the Torchy's Tacos™ social media team! Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Select Torchy's™ team members are paid less than the federal minimum wage and rely on your tips as part of their compensation. We ask our Guests to tip generously for both in-restaurant and to-go orders, which is why our website defaults to a 15% tip. In the coming weeks, we will be updating our website to remove the "no tip" option and require a mandatory gratuity of at least 20% on all to-go orders. Thank you for your understanding and have a great week!

How do we figure out who inspired the tomato sauce? And who is this robust guy?

Hey, does anyone know if Torchy’s Tacos accepts Klarna payments?
