I have lived in Portland my whole life and 20 years ago this place may have been good. Last weekend, I went through the drive through and ordered a 16oz chocolate shake for $5.95. I paid at the window with a credit card and was informed that if I wanted to leave a tip, to note there is a button to do so, in the amounts, I believe of 10%, 15% or 20%. The percentage amount is irrelevant, really.
My shake was small, and had vanilla ice cream mixed in with light chocolate ice cream. For some reason, I thought I was going to get a hand scooped, real ice cream shake. What I got, was a extremely over priced milkshake that was just poured out of a machine , and was no better than one you would get from McDonald's for half the price , very sugary sweet. If I wanted a McDonald's type shake, I would have gone there. Add to that, being asked, or having it suggested to me to add a tip when I am not being waited on , or serviced in any special way, just being poured , and handed a shake , is ridiculous. I waited tables for over 10 years. You dont deserve a tip for shoving a hamburger in a bag and handing it over the counter to someone. I will not be coming back to any Burgerville, and management needs to stop the practice of pandering for tips and pay their employees a better wage, instead of looking to customers to do it for them.
