Haha, yeah I do it out of fear of restaurant workers and you all should too if you know what’s good for you! Like, they literally have time alone with the food you’re going to eat!
The vast majority of food service workers won’t mess with your food because they’re decent people who are used to the abuse and slander (or libel in this case) that customers throw at them. There are other food service workers who won’t do it because they care about food safety. There are still others who won’t mess with your food because they’ll be fired if they’re caught doing it. These three groups will talk shit about you if they think you’re out of earshot.
Then there are the rare cases where the person is too vindictive and too short-sighted and might mess with your food (but will likely be caught by someone who will fix or remake it before it gets to you). These people never last long in the industry as the rest of us hate them more than customers and will drive them out.
I remember the general attitude of folks who’d post on reddit claiming to be food service workers was very upset that people joked about them messing with food. So I hope that means it’s exceedingly rare.
I think they said they would bad mouth people out of earshot or something though!

Even for pick up when you’re not a regular?
Good on ya!
(I’m a firm 20% when I’m sitting down but I decline to tip when picking something up at least half the time. Definitely tipped 2020-2 though.)
