Default Re: Burrito cart tipping dilemma

[ QUOTE ]
So are you opposed to tipping in general? Do you have the same attitude towards waiters? "Bring me my food and charge me for it. End of transaction." Your barber? "Cut my hair and charge me for it..." etc.

No, this analogy is flawed.

Waiters, hairdressers, etc... are generally employees, not the owners of their respective businesses. You're tipping them for their service; not randomly adding dollars to the base cost of the service. They also usually don't make a lot and count on tips to survive.

If the burrito guy delivered, that would be another story and would obviously require tipping.
