My husband is now making spaghetti. We saved $30. And they lost $30. All because of a delivery fee and a tip line. But somehow I think that they won't have learned anything during the experience.
Was this online "check out" or were you actually in the restaurant and canceled the order in person?
On-line check out. If it had been in store my food already would have been made. Putting nothing on the tip line would not have endangered my food. If I felt like the service was truly outstanding, then I also could have given a tip. I once gave a 50% tip at Chili's curbside pick up because it was -5 F windchill and the guy made a second trip to bring me extra utensils and napkins. But handing me an order over a counter just isn't to worthy IMO.
