At a fast food place do you have to pay tips?

Question

Like they have a price 5.85 plus tips. Do you have to pay tips or request it be taken off?

I hate when people think I am going to tip.

Answer 1

No, you do not need to tip at a fast food restaurant.

Answer 2

what fast food place is that? at most fast food places you don't pay tips

Answer 3

I have never seen that, it is usually price plus tax..  not tip.  No restaurants should automatically add on a tip...  some do reserve the right to add a tip amount for parties over ten people.  You would be within your rights to ask for the tip to be removed from the bill if that is what is going on.  No one is forced to leave a tip...  you should..  but you can't be forced to.

Answer 4

McDonald's, BK, Wendy's etc. type places do not expect tips.  

You tip when going to a place such as:

Ruby Tuesday's;  Applebee's;  or any other sit down restaurant.  If you're speaking of take-out,  you can tip but it's not required.  At least not in normal ettiquette circles at these types of sit-down restaurants.

Answer 5

Are you sure it didn't say $5.85 plus tax?  I have never heard of tipping at a fast food place.

Answer 6

if its a fast food place like with a drive thru and hamburgers and what not, then no. its not required and many places do not accept tips. but, some fast food places will have a tip jar but dont feel obligated to tip them, they pushed buttons to take your order they didnt serve you your food over the course of an hour.

Answer 7

you  dont need to tip at fast food
