For the most part I like to order my stuff to-go. As in, I walk up to the bar, say "Hi yeah I ordered that ___." pay and leave.
If you make this more difficult than it has to be (i.e. "oh you CALLED in that order? ummmmmmmm... you have to go.... over....") = I pay cash, ask for the waiter's name (knowing full well it'll be on the receipt), my change, another copy of the receipt, and give the place a bad review online. Even if I'm at the deli of a supermarket and want my sammich pressed, if you make faces at me then I eat some of the sammich, talk to the manager every time, say it tastes like you spit in it because you were making faces ("on camera, go check") and politely ask for a refund. And I always win, too. Them's the beats.
However, IF the service I receive during this very brief exchange is mindblowingly good then maybe I'll give like 10% because I've worked in restaurants myself and know how bad it is (i.e. having to tip busboys out of your own earnings, so dudes that come in and don't tip at all basically force you to spend out of your own wallet to serve them).
I just don't tip guys, I think dudes trying to wait on me is pretty gross. You aren't allowed to tip the young gentleman who loads the groceries into your car @ the supermarket because it's expressly haram and sends the wrong message to men.
You forget that you are part of an establishment that SERVES me as a COURTESY. Being an entitled snob about things is only going to make things harder on you chumps. Male bartenders better have me CRUNK off that first sip or I'm paying you in all change. It's about setting positive examples.
How about you guys?
