Do you tip when you do carryout at a restaraunt?

[InRareForm]

not at a fast food place, but at an actual restaurant.

I usually leave a dollar at least.

[IronMexican]

Yeah, I'll tip two bucks, usually. Maybe more if I'm a regular and dine in

[The Gemini Method]

Normally I do, though the last time I did that I got into a discussion about it and ended up withdrawing the tip. It was a brand new gastropub and they were just excited to have the business. But in general, I'll leave a tip.

[Darth_Pelican]

If the restaurant doesn't charge a carryout fee or a boxing fee, then I will tip. If they do, then fuck em.

[Blake]

Yeah but I'm never sure how much to give. I feel like in general giving the same amount as the waiter is too much.

But if they offer a drink or throw in something extra while I'm waiting, I'll give em that extra amount.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Nah

[baseline bum]

No. Why would you ever tip on carryout? You tip to pay for service. If I'm getting carryout there is no one checking on my drink, clearing my table, etc. If I was going to tip for someone handing me something across the counter then I might as well tip at McDonalds, the pharmacy, the ice house, and so on.

[Robz4000]

I don't go out of my way to pay people for simply existing, although that's what my taxes do.

[Blake]

They're taking your order and bringing you your food. The only difference is that they don't check up on you while you're eating and refill your glass.

[Blake]

Tbh, I really don't give a shit if you do or don't. The whole tip thing is a crock die to cheap ass restaurant owners that don't even want to pay minimum wage.

I've worked as a waiter, they work hard, I know how it is so I give em a few bucks. Big deal.

[dabom]

Except fast food joints pay minimum wages. Afaik, nicer restaurants still don't.

[dabom]

That's not my fault. The take down the order and handing it to me are part of the service I should have already paid for. If not you can get the fuck out. :lol

[DeadlyDynasty]

Are you trolling? Unless the game has changed in the last 20 years I'm pretty sure they just sit behind a touch screen and bag your food when it's ready. Are you tipping fast-food cashiers as well?

EDIT: dabom beat me to it.

[baseline bum]

So do you guys also tip at restaurants where you go to the counter to order and then walk and pick your shit up when they call your number?

[Blake]

They're making minimum wage

[baseline bum]

They're making minimum wage

But the cashier at the restaurant who hands me my shit to go doesn't?

[Chucho]

I almost always call in anything I take out and never tip. The chefs/cooks did more work and they never get tipped. Dude takes 30 seconds to ring me up and hand me my food and I'm gone. You can't compare it to the people working the tables who have to do much more than that and be super friendly to maximize their earnings.

[Blake]

But the cashier at the restaurant who hands me my shit to go doesn't?

I don't know. I'd like to know tho.

When I go to olive garden take out, the chick seems like a waitress running back and forth, usually gets me a peach tea or something while waiting.

[Blake]

The guy is a beta. Let him be. :lol

Drawing that zero in the tip line must make you feel extra alpha huh

Why is this bothering you guys that much :lol

[dabom]

I don't feel "pressured" to tip because I ain't a beta pussy. The person handing my food knows the deal too. I ain't hurting their feelings. If they do, they're gonna have a bad time. :lol

[UZER]

I hate when restaurants with drive-thrus, not fast food, have the stupid tip line on the ticket at the window. I have to draw a line through it to make sure nothing gets written in.

But then I have to give it back to them before getting my food and they close the window. I'm always thinking, "ah shit, they're going to see no tip and jack up my order on purpose."

[dabom]

I tip good actually when I do get service at a restaurant or go to the bar or club. I don't mind tipping. But there has to be a service in exchange. Giving me my food is part of the order, beta. :lmao

[Chucho]

I ain't hurting their feelings. If they do, they're gonna have a bad time. :lol

LOL, how so?

[Blake]

So you never tip at all anywhere.

[dabom]

LOL, how so?

A lot of people don't tip at the pick up counter. If you get mad at one person for not tipping, guess what, it's gonna happen more often then not. :lol

[dabom]

I wonder if he tipped the nigga his wife cucked him with for fucking her real good :lol

If I call in an order somewhere, then walk up to the counter and pick up my pre-bagged food... who am I tipping exactly?

[baseline bum]

If I call in an order somewhere, then walk up to the counter and pick up my pre-bagged food... who am I tipping exactly?

Yeah no shit. Putting my food in a bag isn't tip worthy.

[Blake]

Nah, they ain't getting shit. :lol

Yeah they are. You're paying someone (benefit of doubt) 20% for someone to take your order, push a few buttons, bring your meal and give you the bill.

[Blake]

Yeah no shit. Putting my food in a bag isn't tip worthy.

But if they pick up the plate, walk around the counter to give it to you, yes.

[Blake]

Lol at you guys ranting over a few bucks

[dabom]

Something like $3. :lol

Teehee.

[Joseph Kony]

Fuck no, why would I tip because someone in the back made my food and put it in a to go box so a cashier could hand it to me? unless i'm getting waited on or its delivery i aint tipping your ass.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Blake, I'm not drawing parallels to manliness or trying to big-time these people, but your argument really makes no sense. When you carry out an order it's a simple over-the-counter transaction. If you wanna get there early, wait, and chat up the cashier while she gives you peach tea, then I do think a small tip is warranted...but when I carry out I just go in and pick up my food, and leave within a minute of entering. I don't see how that deserves a tip, and if your argument is "they make minimum wage," then you should probably be tipping every customer service transaction you come across.

[Blake]

K, someone/anyone explain in detail what the waiter does for you that warrants you giving them and them alone 20% of your total.

[Blake]

I'm not here to small time/big time anyone either. Just trying to get a sense of where we're at with the logic of it all.

Shit, seems like it wasn't that long ago nobody tipped the hair cutters. Now it's a regular thing too.

[dabom]

K, someone/anyone explain in detail what the waiter does for you that warrants you giving them and them alone 20% of your total.

You're the one going with this, explain.

[Blake]

You're the one going with this, explain.

I already did

[Mitch]

I'll tip delivery and good service, has to be good service since CA isn't a state that pays that tipped wage BS so they have to earn those tips. Carryout, though, no... who am I tipping there, the cashier lady who just shows guests to tables and rings people up? I tipped on carryout once because the woman noticed the order felt light and told me to check if it was the right one, turned out somebody mixed it up so she saved me a hassle since I was in a hurry.

About tipping, though, I hear some states don't pay waiters a fed/state minimum because of some dumb tipped salary deal, here's a map (maybe outdated) of where it's practiced

[DeadlyDynasty]

No, you didn't...you keep evading the question. Your argument is that a cashier performs the same job as a waiter. So let's assume for a second that's correct. With that logic, why aren't you tipping everybody who hands you food or provides other effortless services?

[dabom]

I already did

We're talking about carryout tipping. And you're talking about some thing else entirely. :lmao

[Blake]

They're taking your order and bringing you your food. The only difference is that they don't check up on you while you're eating and refill your glass.

They being the person behind the counter.

Apparently that counter is the one thing that makes the difference between 0 and 20% because you guys can't come up with anything else.

[Avante]

When we go out to eat I leave a tip for our waitress.... if...... she was good. That is the only tipping I do.

There's no tip jar at McD''s and they make at least minimum wage. If there was a tip jar, I might leave something, I dunno.

As you can see from chart, Texas has a $2 per hour thing going for tip wages.

Does counter chick make real minimum or tip minimum? I guess that's the question. Does anyone here know?

[Blake]

Waiters and busboys have to clean that table. Get all the plates. Serve you drinks. Refills. Maybe even serve alcohol. That's on top of serving you, able to fix any complaints on the food. And be able to converse.

That's the 20% difference, faggot. :lmao

[Blake]

I've posed this question before (and of course got reemed for it). Why is restaurant tipping traditionally based on check balance? Shouldn't it be based on size of party, quality of service, how knowledgeable/personable said waitress is, etc? For example. I can take my family to Chili's or Rainforest Cafe and get the same quality slop served to me by the same waitress at the same speed and have vastly different check balances. You pay extra for the touristy atmosphere at Rainforest Cafe. Not sure why the waitress gets a larger cut also (I still tip more, I just always wondered what for).

Now there are some restaurants that the wife and I go to on special occasions where large tips are warrented as the level of service is that much greater.

[FkLA]

I don't know if it's changed or if it's different at actual restaurants, but I delivered pizzas for Pizza Hut back in the day and waitresses only made like 3/hr (minimum wage at the time was like 6.55 or something). They got bumped up to 6.55/hr only if their tips for the day+3/hr didn't add up to atleast minimum wage.

Everyone else got 6.55 or more per hr at all times. So it made sense that they needed more generous tips to make the amount of money in a given day that we did as drivers since we got tips and minimum wage at all times.

Just pay living wages. You can have a waiter earning hundreds of bucks a night for working just as hard and with the same skillset as someone at McDonalds or a supermarket.

I don't know, there a million different reasons given for tipping habits, but a ton of studies just point to arbitrary factors people use to assess their tipping amount (physical attractiveness, age, race, gender).

Even if people were able to impartially assess their tipping practices, why am I giving a fucking performance review every time I go eat? Why is it my job to incentivize the staff and not the restaurant's? I don't give a shit if I have to pay more money for a meal to make up for a real living wage - if the service is bad in the restaurant I'll complain or won't go again. It's one of the bizarre practices that continues to endure (even though its vanished from Europe, the creators of tipping). I've found it much better to dine virtually anywhere else on earth tbh.

[DMC]

If I am paying with a corporate card I do. If not, then it depends. Often I will tip a few dollars regardless.

Yeah tipping a percentage is retarded but it's expected so it's what I do independent of the cost of my meal.

[JudynTX]

What the fuck for? They are doing their job.

[SpursforSix]

I always ask them, "do you want the tip or do you want the shaft?"

[SpursforSix]

What the fuck for? They are doing their job.

so are waitresses but you tip them right?

in some restaurants, the hostess or bartender has to prep the to go orders. Making salads, putting together chips and salsa, soup, etc.
