The Essential Etiquette For Tipping At Fast Food Restaurants - Tasting Table
Briefly

A recent 2024 report shows that 66% of diners believe too many places are asking for tips, reflecting a growing discomfort with tipping culture.
Tips are generally not necessary at fast food restaurants, as employees often earn minimum wage and are not fully tip-dependent like waitstaff.
The rise in tipping requests at quick-service restaurants, now at 48%, stems from aggressive strategies post-COVID-19 and the influence of online ordering systems.
When deciding to tip at these establishments, consider the employee's effort, especially for larger orders, where gratuity may be more justified.
