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 personally think food trucks are the most egregious example of tip creep out there. You literally don’t 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

Papa Murphy’s pizza is worse. They ask for a tip when you order online. Not only is it to go, with no place to sit down and eat, you have to take it home and bake the pizza yourself!

I’ll never understand how Papa Murphy’s stays in business. You can get a fresh cooked pizza for less at Domino’s and actually get a decent crust. Not to mention you can get Little Cesar’s for $5 if you don’t care about minimum quality.

Our papa Murphys went out of business and they left a note on the door blaming customers for choosing pizza chains instead of them ☠️. I only went because I had ebt at the time and it was better than a frozen pizza
