Do you tip on takeout orders?

[AgentSmecker]

I come to pay for my food. Not the service. If I had the option, I'd walk to the kitchen and get my own damn food.


Granted, if I plan on returning to a place, I'll tip. But if not, then I don't.


Tipping for pickup is just stupid.

"Come on, cough up a buck you cheap bastard."

Many of you need to spend a day as a server...."I called in a order I shouldn't tip" yeah because the server didn't bag it up and get it figured out with all the sides and things you need...wait around for your stupid ass to show up and interrupt them helping others just to not tip...

Do any of you understand a server gets payed like 5 an hour and you tipping 1 dollar is a big deal.

This is why they want to introduce automatic gratuity on most bills because nearly half if not more have 0 fucking idea on how to tip right or when to tip...

Lol at a server standing around to wait for me so they can personally hand me my take out order.

Woah!!!!
You get paid $5.00/ hr + tips as a server?
Tell me where you live so I can move there.
I've lived in 12 different states and the highest I've ever seen is $2.50/hr + tips.

You must be ballin'

 

[INeedARemedy]

Lot of cheap fucks itt

 

[TronSpecial]

Lol on top of that server 2.50 stuff. If they have a shitty day in tips they're pay is matched to minimum wage. So boohoo, and yes I've worked numerous tip reliant jobs (food industry and bartending)

I actually didn't know what the convention was for tipping on take out.

I recently picked up some food and noticed that there was an option for a tip on the debit machine - I selected 0, but later wondered whether I had committed a social faux pas.

I normally dine in or have it delivered, so I had no point of reference.

With that being said, I don't necessarily think I should tip on take out - or at least not the 15% that is normally expected.

If no Host is on the floor then yes the waiter has to keep an eye on the door and if his section is in another part of the house it makes it even worse. Add the fact that when you show up you trump everything the server is doing to get you payed out and on your way....Do you really think it would be that simple/fast for you to pick up food if people didn't bust ass to get your food ready to go? Its easier to bring it to a table then to get it ready for a 2go order....So from all the servers who waited on you...Thanks for nothing shit head and you should go to a fast food joint if your that broke.

Vegas/NM/Colorado All have this kind of wage...It just went up in NM

 

[sangreporsangre]

No way. I've seen tip jars at places like Subway and Tim Hortons, and I'm thinking, gimme a fuckin break.

I mean, if I'm supposed to tip for take out, or when I grab a coffee, where does it end? Should I tip the cashier at the grocery store? If I buy a pack of zig zags at the conveniece store, I gotta tip that guy too?

But you still never served....Bartending isn't anywhere near the same...and food industry means fast food joints ....you are lying to kick it...stop

 

[Make-U-Tap]

FUCK NO!

/End

 

[LatFlare]

fuck no. with takeout you're the waiter and you do the dishes after, why the fuck would you tip?

How about all you entitled servers go fuck yourselves and get a different job instead of expecting the customer to do something the employer is supposed to do
If anything tipping the cooks should be a thing since they actually do something that requires a skill.

That must be state to state because I know servers and their pay is not "matched up" to minimum wage if they have a bad day in tips. You have a bad day in tips around here..eff you..better luck tomorrow.

And it's $2.13/hr not $2.50 (to reflect half of minimum wage when min wage was $4.25)

Starting to notice we need better examples....Subway/Fast Food ...places that don't have servers ...Those places ask for tips just because...I don't tip there...Car washes etc I tip for services "Extra hit on the wheels/ A scrubber really doing a good job/ I get some sort of discount at the window giving me extra cash" I tip then...

When it comes to placing an order at your local IHOP/Oliv Garden/Chilis etc I agree that take out should have a dollar or 2 placed on it....Certain places are built for to go orders like Chilies but places like IHOP your server does EVERYTHING for the order...This person needs a tip.

Clearly a young one

Terrible rebuttal. it is not the customer's responsibility to pay your wages.

Na, fuck that. The place is in the business of selling food, prepared meals. They have a price. Now, if I'm gonna sit in the joint, have you come bring it to me, take the plates away, refill my drinks, etc you get a tip. And if you deliver it to me, you also get a tip. And I'm a pretty good tipper.

But if I go in to the restaraunt, and take the food home, I'm just paying for the food. I'm not giving some can an extra couple bucks for putting the food into a container and a bag.

 

[Jon Stark]

No way. Doing so would create a quasi take out hierarchy. Why should McDonald's employees get no tips but joe from the pizza place does? It's not mandatory and excessive.
