This is the school system our massive property taxes are supporting.
I wouldn’t care if the public school systems around here weren’t so shit.

Usually 0. If I walked there and all they did was ring it up, that's just retail checkout service and in the price. Usually I paid online so they're not even ringing it up. I'm certainly not tipping as if I had sit down table service, or even the couple dollars as if they barista or bartender made the drink.

Yeah for a typical order. More if you ordered pizza for the whole ball team, of course.

Usually 20, then adjust either direction based on service.
Have you noticed some online orders don't even hide that it's not for employees anymore? They call it a "house tip" or proudly proclaim "all tips go to support our restaurant". So I'm just volunteering to pay more than the price, and it's not even a tip? That's silly.

Because we live in the real world and income is the highest predictor of crime? Do you feel safer in shadyside or Homewood?

Dude, all these replies and people only had nice things to say about their hood. I don't think you could go wrong with either place.

Also, the use of the word ghetto isn't privileged to any singular class of people. The business owner is clearly trying to explain that when lawless behaviors occur daily, it is like, well, a ghetto. Where society is broken.
The only racial connotation I picked up on was from commentary in this thread being critical of the use of the word, like it is protected. It is not. Ghettos happen. If you don't like it, don't attack the person who mentions that he suffers from it. Changed the policies that created it.

Man, “the fat cat” if it is still on the menu is epic. It will turn you into a literal fat cat, that wants a nap.

There is a weird backlash in this sub every time Apteka is mentioned. I’m as meat-eater as it gets and I love that place, but some people seem to go out of their way to shit on it.

- Depending on the size of the order, I put money in the tip jar when I pick up the food. My favorite Chinese takeout costs me $10 or so and I leave a five for them. I'd spend that much at Chipotle or Panera for food that isn't half that good.
- [I live alone and don't order pizza takeout.]
- Sit down dining 20-30%. More if I/we tie up a table beyond the normal turnover. On a small check ($5 or 6) I might leave $2-3 and not worry about the percentage.
- I get a cold drink at a fast food spot every day and usually add a buck for the person handing me the stuff. During COVID they were sometimes the only people I saw in a day.
It makes a difference that I can afford to tip well and I worked through college as a waitress and short-order cook. My own thought is that it's good to keep stuff circulating--money, kindness, help.

Reply to comment by JustYourNeighbor in Is there a accepted norm here for tipping? by pghgreatest
Yes. I’ve asked my regular places and they all prefer you call directly, The website is also a third party that takes a cut.
The only exception is Spak’s. They only take online orders.

I've actually seen businesses with signs to the effect of "all minors must be accompanied by an adult".
