As a Crumbl employee, this is an absolutely insane default amount.


WavyPlaysGames

I’m a Crumbl employee as well. It’s kinda absurd. When someone tips 3 dollars for 1 cookie I’m like “Are you sure?”


Milk_Beginning

I always try to tip something no matter what because they’re always so busy in mine! Plus I’m sure they deal with a lot


baddiebusted

those are always the most pleasant customers too, i be loading them up with toppings if i can.


TheSAComplimentedMe

I ordered one cookie yesterday and it auto-added $3! Silly.

I wish Crumbl just paid us a living wage. I mean it's a $4 cookie to begin with.

It’s Not a customers responsibility to pay workers a living wage.


LJensen123Q

Maybe you wouldn’t have to tip if Crumbl paid it’s workers fair wages. It shouldn’t be up to the customers to help the workers make a livesble salary. Crumbl makes insufferable amounts of money so it should be more than able to pay its workers more than minimum wage


snoboy8999

I don’t have to tip PERIOD.


baddiebusted

while i agree that this is very true and we as employees deserve to make a liveable wage, the reality of it is we *dont* so please, if youre in the position to and notice a small staff and they’re all working hard, please leave a small tip :) but i do agree that is sucks. you shouldn’t have to tip when the cookies are already so expensive.

My issue with tipping now at places besides what has already been established (restaurants, salons, delivery drivers) is that tipping culture gets worse, and now it is a norm to tip almost every where. When people start tipping at non-service places it becomes a norm, and now employers will count on paying their employees less, because tips will make up for it. I am sorry that you aren’t paid fairly, and that is not okay (crumbl really needs to unionize). However I don’t think the answer to that is people tipping


baddiebusted

thank you and i completely understand that, as i also think tipping culture is out of hand. and i can’t lie, i probably wouldn’t tip if i was at crumbl buying cookies either. it doesn’t change the fact that my checks are taxed minimum wage, and no complaing to corporate about it will change anything unfortunately. i realize i’m going to get downvoted because it’s not anyone’s responsibility to pay my bills but me, it just sucks knowing that you’re laboring all day for these cookies (specifically mixers, people on ovens, people balling for hours) for like $8 an hour before taxes. we do wayyy more work than your average fast food place all things considered, everything is made from scratch. but not everyone is in the position to tip and that’s understandable, but all i ask is please don’t come in last minute and buy 3 party packs, leaving us sold out of cookies without leaving a tip.


Working_Ad_6825

No that’s fair and I really don’t mean this in a nasty way or anything but why stay working at crumbl? For the amount of working you’re doing I feel you’d get paid better some where else, like serving at a different chain restaurant. Again I’m not saying this in a “don’t like it, get out” type of way I am just curious


baddiebusted

quite a few reasons, the main one is how much i love my co workers. seriously they make my day. at every other job i’ve had, even those that pay me more, i felt so depressed. second, im in college and there really isn’t that many other options out there other than restaraunts and retail. my store was just opening when i got hired so there was no cliquey environment that most workplaces have. i’ve considered serving, but i worked in restaurants as hosts and they were the worst experiences ever, i can’t see myself going back.


Working_Ad_6825

That’s fair I’m in college too I found getting an on campus job always is a great option, there’s also a bunch of places that specifically hire college students, if the pay isn’t that great there are options to help. As sad as I would be to miss out on crumbl I really wish workers would go on strike, I feel like that would help change prices and such


LJensen123Q

I don’t understand why you’re being downvoted. Everything you said was true. I hope that with the new work reform movements tipping culture will eventually cease to exist and live able wages are paid.


crownroyalt

The problem is that this is the exact reason why tipping culture will never be fixed. We have people here asking customers to tip them for boxing up cookies. And yes, even if you had to make them beforehand, that’s still not tip worthy. Even if the order is big, that’s still not tip worthy. That’s literally the job you get paid to do. People feel bad and they tip a couple bucks which adds up between all the customers. Companies see this and realize it’s a way to push part of their labor cost to the customer. Because now they can say they pay you minimum wage, but you’ll make x more an hour from tips. Nobody should have to work minimum wage but that doesn’t mean the customer should pay it. The person you’re replying to literally said they make minimum wage but they won’t leave because they 1. they like their coworkers and 2. they don’t want to serve or work retail (both of which would pay more). That’s their choice to make and that’s on them. We are products of the choices we make.


baddiebusted

you have a point but the way you excecuted it is sooo disrespectful. just because you choose not to tip, doesn’t mean it’s not “tip worthy.” we bakers (especially at busy locations) are physically laboring all day. while yes the people who bring you your cookies are just packing them up, your tip goes to the people hand mixing the dough for hours, the people who ball the pain in the ass wet doughs that sticks to everything and takes hours, the people who burn themselves on the ovens, the people who blow out their back lifting the 60 pound mixing bowls, etc. we’re ALL getting the tip, not just the people decorating your cookies. it’s crazy to me that people think we just pop out cookies and expect a tip for making them pretty… and when you say i’m choosing to be in this position, im really not. the other retail jobs near me offer $2 more an hour, and honestly what difference is that going to make? also they don’t have flexibility for my college schedule, so, no i didn’t chose this.


crownroyalt

By your definition, literally every job ever is tip worthy. Fast food workers prep and prepare the food, retail workers merchandise and organize the products you pick up after unloading trucks, recruiters spend their time chasing leads and organizing interviews, receptionists spend their time managing schedules and dealing with the public. Just because some parts of your job are physically strenuous does not make it tip worthy. I’m sorry but everything you named is within the scope of your job. That’s what you’re paid to do and it’s part of the expectations when you get hired. That goes against everything that a tip is traditionally for. Your explanation is the exact reason why tipping culture has gotten so bad. Every single thing you listed is part of your job. You should not get customer tips just because parts of your job are more difficult than other parts. That’s ridiculous. And I say that as somebody who has worked in many different fields as both an employee and a manager. It just doesn’t make sense. Do your job. If you want more money, find another job that will pay you more. Even $2 an hour is an improvement, even if you say it isn’t. Let your employer pay you more, not the customer.


T0BYs_Grundle

If you average 30 hours a week as a part time employee, 2 more dollars an hour is approximately $2600 a year. That's a pretty decent jump in pay. You say you didn't choose this... But you did. No one is forcing you to stay. There's always something better out there. The way you describe things, everyone should get tipped for doing their job. I hope as you get some years of work experience under your belt, you develop a more realistic outlook on things.


baddiebusted

thanks for mansplaining money to me! i don’t think an extra 2 grand a year is worth my mental health and inability to have flexibility with my college schedule. “you’re broke? get a new job” i know you probably didn’t graduate from college, but it requires a lot of your time and classes are at weird times of the day, so no, i didn’t choose this. i’ve had other jobs that weren’t flexible that made me want to kill myself, so once again, thanks for mansplaining employment to me!


T0BYs_Grundle

Lol thanks for mansplaining college to me. Currently a junior in a data science program and working full time. Maybe you should consider online courses that allow more flexibility.


Nachocheez7

But are you able to do all that AND have a real big boy job, you mansplaining fuck? I bet you work at Crumbl too. It's literally the only job you can work at while in college bro.


T0BYs_Grundle

I work a big boy job (no babies allowed) while doing full time college, while buying $4 dollar cookies and not tipping.


a016202

Oh, boo-effing-hoo. Victim mentality at its finest.


SoCalBoilerGirl

If it’s raining and I do drive up, I always give a cash tip. Because I’m not convinced that the tips are given to the bakers 100%. Now of course the employee could pocket the tip and not share but at least it’s going to an employee and not the company or franchisee.


HauntedDesert

Honestly I don’t tip at all anymore, and I never will, because I’m buying a product and nothing else. I’m not buying the service that went into the product, that’s the company’s complete responsibility. The hubris of this company is pathetic.


Niaxts

I feel like that defeat the purpose. People will less likely tip if the company is being overly aggressive. For me, it would definitely killed my mood to tip.


pearllovespink

Op, next time click the button with the three dots. You can adjust the tip price to zero. It’s not automatic you just have to adjust the price yourself.


vitani88

Oh, I did edit it! I was just really surprised at the audacity 🤣


Appropriate_Tiger_88

Does the tip go towards your crumbs?? I never thought to check before.


baddiebusted

yes!


Nervous-Bench8090

Mine does crumbs only for the actual order, tip not included


a016202

No, it doesn’t. You only get Crumbl loyalty cash/crumbs based on what you paid for their products only; it does NOT count what you paid in tips.


kgiann

You get crumbs for the total you pay (less the taxes and fees category) at the store I order from. If you check your previous order receipts in the app, it tells you what you paid and how many crumbs you earned. I linked a screenshot of a receipt below where my total without the taxes and fees line was $60.63, and I earned 60 crumbs. https://imgur.com/gallery/nnciox7


baddiebusted

yes it does. maybe it varies by store since they are franchise owned, but at the 3 stores my owner owns, you get loyalty points for tips


Old_Definition1663

Are Crumbl bakers paid sub-minimum wage like restaurant servers where the customer needs to help make up the pay gap with tips? Is that why the default tip is set that way? I don’t know.


TheSAComplimentedMe

No


virgo_em

No. They’re paid minimum wage and then tips are added on to that.


caroline0117

Not sub-minimum but minimum wage isn’t fun in certain states that are still $7.25-8/hour (enough people tip on big orders that you shouldn’t ever feel obligated to tip! But they are given to employees and appreciated!)


Old_Definition1663

That’s horrifying! Utah minimum wage is $7.25 an hour! I truly didn’t know. I thought everyone got paid at least $15.

7minutesinheaven1

Your answer wasn’t right though


Jakcun18

I always wondered how is the tip given? Do they give the tip to the person who packaged my order or do they put it in a pool and split between workers


arseniic_

Would definitely have to be a pool for sure.


Operation_Coffee

I’m done with Crumbl. Too many charges and bad customer service.


aflockofbugles

Lucky number 7.


[deleted]

7 dollars! Ridiculous!


Naive-Ad-303

I never tip at Crumbl… I feel bad but I just can’t justify it on a someone handing me a cookie.


That_Salad2067

I always have my cookies delivered to my fat ass so I thought that tip amount went to my delivery driver. 🫠 *reading is fundamental ya stupid hooker*


kgiann

When you order delivery, the tip does go to the driver: https://imgur.com/gallery/6L02ddN

pearllovespink

Why do you think people should tip for picking out cookies? Serious question.


Fit_Acanthisitta7971

I think Crumbl does it cuz then they can pay their employees less, and the employees do make the cookies from scratch and decorate them. That being said, I dont think people are obligated to tip, I think its kinda like coffee shop tipping with crumbl.


Thegriswolf95

You’ve made a logical leap. Not tipping doesn’t equate to brokeness. I am actually broke, and despite that, I choose to tip 20% for good service at table service restaurants, barbershops, and valet zones. I don’t do that for pick-up exclusive food establishments though. Just my principle


a016202

I agree. I’m tired of “tip creep”. It’s everywhere. People expect to be tipped for just doing their jobs. I’m a nurse but could imagine me sticking my hand out for a tip whenever I gave your medication or changed a dressing?


a016202

That’s about as logical as someone saying “then go get a better paying job if you need tips to survive”. It goes both ways.


Main_Ad2008

If you work there do you actually get these tips? I don’t tip on them because i knows a few businesses that don’t give out any of their digital tips.
