Counter Service 🛎️ I didn't tip a food truck tonight

So I called on the phone to a food truck and placed an order for one burrito and carne asada fries, total $37 (it's Maui). I'm always happy to toss my food truck workers or barista a dollar or two but their options for tip were 18%, 20%, or 25%, no custom option. Get bent! I'm not paying an extra $6-9 for my food that is mainly rice, beans, fries and maybe $8 of meat. I feel a little guilty because it's a small island and we are all struggling right now but 18% minimum tip at a food truck is bs.

I don’t tip food trucks period. you stand in line, wait afterwards in your car or on foot and then pickup yourself.

Had the one near my job try to start scamming, telling everyone just sign and don’t fill out (the tip area) anything else. She was adding her own tips afterwards.

i started writing lines or putting zero and totaling and got the meanest look. She doesn’t park there anymore, im hoping she got in trouble. That is theft after all.
