  • We spent $100 at a luxury mall food court eating pizza, fried chicken, kabobs, and doughnuts. This luxurious shopping mall in Los Angeles has opened a brand new gourmet food hall, with prices in line with with their luxury stores like Bvlgari, Cartier, Gucci, Hermes, and Versace. With tax and tip, we ended up with the most expensive food court lunch we've ever eaten. Was this upscale mall food worth it?

    Wait, a 20% tip when you did ALL the work other than cook? They didn’t serve, didn’t add plates voluntarily, nope, this was the equivalent of a drive thru and no tip other than one who cleans the table

    @ml9942 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    Tipping when you’re ordering yourself? Things are out of control. Maybe the cleaning staff should get a tip there but not the owners of those take out serve yourself, order yourself, pick up your own plates food courts.

      I only tip 15-20% if I'm being served by a wait staff, im shown my table, someone taking my order while im seated, refilling my water/drinks, gets me more napkins, a side of ranch, ETC. If they just hand me food, maybe $1.

    Good choices. Chicken looked scrumptious! Tipping makes a big difference especially when the staff see the tip beforehand and in the case of the food court they do. The tips are pooled and that means that everyone involved gets a piece of the action and I think that is great. Thank you for tipping.j
