I didn’t think that we, New Yorkers, would have to talk about this, but I guess we do: HOW TO TIP IN THE TIME OF COVID
Rule number 1: DON’T DO THIS
Did I want to leave the cardholder’s name and identifying information so everyone could see it? Yes. Do I have a new nemesis? ALSO YES
The circumstances are not relevant because this tip is abhorrent regardless BUT: this is a great sushi restaurant in our neighborhood that has been closed since March but opened back up like, yesterday
I was there to pick up my food, because they are doing carry out only (which: FINE! They call you when your order is almost ready, how considerate!) and saw this left on the table they set up as a makeshift take out window
This place is going OVER THE TOP in terms of social distancing. Calling you when your order is ready, as I mentioned. Spraying my card, the pen, the receipt with hand sanitizer.
And this ASSHOLE, WHOSE NAME I KNOW, left FIVE PERCENT
New York City as we know it is (potentially??) over. Restaurants will be FOREVER changed. And this cocksucker tips two fucking dollars and change on his dinner. TWO AMERICAN DOLLARS
You need to tip twenty percent — AT LEAST — on all take out orders right now. AT LEAST.
YES EVEN ON TAKE OUT. EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DRIVE OR WALK TO GET YOUR FOOD. SHUT UP AND DO IT
If you have the capacity to tip more, TIP MORE
The restaurant industry is getting decimated and HEY GUESS WHAT THIS WAS A SUSHI RESTAURANT YOU HAVE TO BE A LITERAL IDIOT TO NOT KNOW HOW ASIAN PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED RIGHT NOW TIP MORE THAN FIVE PERCENT YOU ASS SPONGE
Thank you for your time.
