Part of the "tip for pickup" is that many restaurants ran on "pooled tips" where the tips would support/subsidize not only the waitresses, but also the bus boy, cooks, etc.

When they went full-online during covid with only pickup, they wanted to keep those people, and so suggested that you tip even on pickup.

I'd much rather just see increased prices where tips are no longer "needed" but I don't know how we'll get there.

Prices are already increased. We had pretty bad inflation for the last year.

At some point some of the zombie businesses need to die and make room for the profitable ones that can pay their workers.
