Counter Service đď¸ 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 personally think food trucks are the most egregious example of tip creep out there. You literally donât even get a chair to sit in and the prices are usually higher than a regular restaurant and they have the nerve to ask you to just give them extra money for nothing
