      It’s not a “service”. All I want from the staff is to tell them what I want to order and to bring the food. That’s all. I don’t see what extra “service” I’m supposedly paying for

        SITTING DOWN, waiting on you, and then BRINGING YOU FOOD, ensuring it’s up to your standards after a couple bites, if you don’t want that SERVICE get fucking take out! It’s that fucking easy!

      the restaurant pays for their staff… should you pay for having a table and chair too? staff is a basic requirement of a restaurant

        No, your comment is asinine and completely irrelevant, when you call tech support for example, Apple or AT&T, you are already paying their damn salaries with the bill you pay each month (plus they get paid more an hr-duh).

        You don’t pay my salary when you come in dine at my table for hours and eat like $200 worth of food and provide NO tip! You occupied my table knowing others could come in and give me a better tips, that’s the difference!! You clearly haven’t worked in the food industry before.

      Is there an option to pick up my own food at the counter? I’d gladly do it.

        Yes, it’s call take out. But still employees have to put the order together, bag it, and ensure everything is 100%, so def should tip them something!

          I don’t tip for take out I have to pick up myself. But tipping culture here in The Netherlands is vastly different than the US. We basically only tip in restaurants, and only if the service was really good. Most people don’t tip for bad or average service.
