Do you tip when ordering take-out?

[jcuadrado]

Looking to hear from people that do or don't tip when buying takeout at a regular restaurant?

Do you tip? If so, what percentage?

hell no

No...there's no service involved. No delivery, and no one is waiting on you, so there's no reason to tip.

 

[SmoochyTX]

No fvcking way.

 

[Chrono]

why?
wtf?

psycho.

Giving tips at a McDonald's...interesting...HELL NO!

 

[Rob9874]

No way! Do you tip the kid at Taco Bell when he brings you your gorditas?

A tip is only a gratuity given to a waiter or waitress that serves you, not a cook or a cashier.

I do actually. But it's a special case I guess as the place I go to people know me pretty well and service me well when I do sit down. These days I mostly order take out from them, even then they'd offer me to sit down, relax, and bring me tea while I wait. Just a nominal $2-3 on top of the bill, nothing much really.

Do you tip at a grocery store?

Does that make it different?

 

[XZeroII]

no

Knowing a few people who have worked as take-out employees for restaurants such as Chili's and Red Lobster, I know that they do a lot more work to get it ready than McDonalds employees. I usually tip a buck or two.

Oh I thought you meant delivery - I would tip a couple of £ then - but McD's? No way.

 

[jcuadrado]

damn...good to know....

upsetting that I've tipped like 10% on takeout for a while now....never again.

 

[mrrman]

nope

 

[imported_elwood]

Every post that the topic is a yes or no question should contain a poll!

Never.

sometimes I do, and when I don't I think I'm an jerk. But a slightly richer jerk.

 

[Insomniator]

The only restaurant I order take out at is Chevys which is basically a mexican applebees and I tip a dollar or two to the person that brings me the food from the back.

If your talkin mcdonalds or subway or something then I never tip of course.

 

[Kadarin]

I will if I really like the place. Otherwise, no.

[jiggahertz]
