Tips at Subway

[JMV JustMyView]

I always tip at Subway. They are standing there all day having to deal with people trying to be comedians.

The same person (or two) takes the order, makes the order, packages the order, delivers the order.

Just because they don't have to walk it to your table is not enough reason not to tip.

Do you also tip medical professionals and the UPS driver? What about Coach Marlin and Des? What about lawyers?

This dude probably don’t tip at Ruth’s Chris . . . Second thought, he probably can’t afford much above Subway . ..

Now subway is asking for you to tip when checking out, as if there food isn't already expensive enough. What is your thoughts on tipping fast food places and take out orders?

The reason I tip in restaurants is that we are being served at the table by someone who checks on us regularly to see if the food is good, if we need anything else, and cleans after us after we leave. This is not the case at fast food joints, where you take your food to the table yourself and you clean after yourself at the end of the meal. I hate to see tip jars in coffee places and other joints where you pick up your order at the counter. There is no “above and beyond”. Folks should stop (or not even start) tipping in fast food places, it’s creating the false impression that everyone deserves a tip even if they don’t really do anything special.

and more importantly they are likely being paid a higher wage at subway (at least fed min wage) than the so called “tip wage” at a restaurant

Firehouse Subs is the bomb! Jimmy John’s good too. Jersey Mike’s serves Pepsi, so I don’t go there.

jimmy johns is amazing, it was ready before i even got from menu to window and no cars were ahead of me. i really prefer them having “designed” sandwiches they seem to be more of a sandwich artist than subway…. i have always hated subway, i dont care to hear what every tom dick and harry ahead of me want on their sandwich. leave it to the experts such as j.j.

Restaurants pay around $2.13 per hours plus tips. I asked the girl at Subway what is the starting pay and she said $12 per hour.

well there is your answer!

Yep. This dude ain't tipping them.

[R1Letterman]

would those here be in favor of restaurants posting the wage of the servers and or bartenders so customers could make a more informed tip decision.

also i just realized recently, that they should print the receipts without the tax (or move the tax lower and have another subtotal) because i bet many are including the tax in the calculation for the tip. why should waiter get 15 or 18 or 20pct of the tax?

Yep. This dude ain't tipping them.

im old enough to remember bankers with master’s degrees making less than subway people now make.(this century, so not that old)

Tip don’t tip it’s your choice. Frankly some workers go way beyond what I expect and give them a nominal tip. The typical fast food employee probably should be tipping me for providing an employment opportunity, especially Popeyes employees.

We are not wealthy people, but yeah, Not only might we leave a buck in the tip jar, we also round up to the dollar to contribute to the establishments scholarship fund.

Hell, 45,000 people gave Donald Trump $100 a piece for a digital playing card.

He sold out in one day and made $4.5 million

I guess we’re all suckers

obama charges for a tour of an old air force one, just outside d.c., right behind the relatively new mgm casino…. not very well publicized, but, imagine if trump did that.

[R1Letterman]

and yes i know air force one is just a call sign and plane is not actually called that unless current potus is onboard
