TikTok users are having split opinions about whether it is proper to tip for takeout orders. Some of the users threw their weight behind the TikTok creator, stating that the restaurant had a lot of guys to be so passive-aggressive. “Wow!” a user wrote. “Their audacity. This tipping expectation is getting out of control.”

Another user revealed, “I can’t stand that a tip of the same amount as a server is expected when I pick up my meal. You put it in a bag, you did your job, congrats.”

Also, a netizen made a comparison between getting takeouts and a self-checkout in a store. “That’s like tipping the Walmart workers watching me at the self-checkout,” the comment reads. “I’m not tipping for carryout.”

However, other users differed in their thoughts as they believed it was rude not to give tips. “A server has to make sure the order is correct, packed, and ready for you,” a viewer wrote. “It should be tipped.”

Another TikTok user shared the same opinion, “A server is likely putting your food together and making sure your order is correct. They get paid the same as the other servers and work off tips.”
