BBQ place I go to asks for tips at the checkout counter where you order food and pay. Then you get a number. They bring your food out and bus the table when you’re done. But that’s it. You get your own drink, condiments, cutlery.
I cannot for the life of me figure out why I would tip before any service is rendered and there’s no way to tip after.
Ridiculous. I wouldn’t feel comfortable eating there. I get it, it’s supposed to guarantee a tip for your server, but that’s breaking the tipping social contract. I don’t know if your server is actually good at their job. Not only that, but it doesn’t sound like you ever receive service in this place.
