Do you leave a tip when you order take out?

[King Ghidorah]

So I ordered me some wings and thangs and went to pick up my food, and next to the cashiers attractive breast is a tip jar specifically labeled "Take out tips" I also noticed it was empty, but I was actually offended that someone expects me to tip when I had to drive my own car to get the food, and the only job you did was cooking it. No tip for you, what say you FAN?

[Yami Daimao]

"Take out tips? Well if you insist."

*takes money*

[mjolnir]

I was raised to tip, so I do. Not as much as I would if I was sitting down and being served, but I still typically try to put down two or three dollars for them, something. If nothing else, it's a nice gesture, especially considering most of the time when I notice them, they're empty or only have a few pennies in them.

[BigBadZ]

You should have put the tip in between her attractive breasts

[Red Impact]

I typically do, but more out of convenience to round out the credit card receipt/not fumble with a lot of coins. After all, we keep being told that tips are for waiters and waitresses, and if you're not using a waiter or waitress, then there's logically no one to tip.

I get take out so I don't have to pay extra for delivery.

[salsashark]

Hell no. I tend to tip well when sitting down (I only go down to 15% if you really, really suck, which is almost never), but if I am driving there and thus spending my own gas money to get food that I then have to find some place else to eat, I tip nothing and have no qualms about it.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

Take out? No.

Delivery, or Dine in yes.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

For a tip jar, you can tip any amount that you like. They're not demanding or obligating you to give an actual figure. You could just put in a penny.

I don't have the costume to tip most of time,but if people point to me to tip,i probably will.

BUT before you say OH MY GOD DON'T BE CHEAP.Let me explain.Where i lived the costume was different and there was no such social acceptance as tips. No one gave tips,no one expected tips(of course people like)

Now that i am living on Canada i must get used to giving tips,but i am still not used so i can easily forget....some people must think that i was a selfish greedy bastards here.

[Cela]

If I pay in cash and there's a change bucket, yes. Otherwise, sometimes.

[Piccolo]

Nah. If I've got change in my pocket or back from my purchase and they're being really sweet and helpful, I will, but I don't do it as a matter of course.

(This isn't quite the same thing as takeout, but I tip at Ben and Jerry's because I always need to ask the ice cream person to clean the scoop due to my nut allergies. So they go through a little extra process of cleaning the scoop and scooping the top ice cream aside to get to the untouched ice cream below. It's a nice touch that allows me to patronize their business despite my allergies, and I appreciate the extra effort. So I make sure to tip every time.)

[Talent Name]

I always tip because some of them are really only getting paid less than minimum wage and rely on tips. I know one doughnut place that pays the employees 5.25 so they need tips

[chazraps]

Honestly, it really depends what I'm picking up.

If it's something like sushi, Mexican or the type of food at a location where it's typically prepared in front of the customer with a level fo care (and, in my case, the order can get pretty complicated) I do tip.

But if it's something like pizza or anywhere that I'm deliberately picking up to not use their delivery service, then I don't.

Might I add, I'm pretty proud of thi forum that the "i don't tip at all" option is currently at zero. Great job everyone!

[Feyrhausen]

Most of the time yes. Many places have the bartender handle to go orders. They are less than minimum wage workers and rely on tips, and they are providing you a service. So you should tip, but not as much as a waiter or delivery person. But if its a non tipped employee who makes at least minimum wage a tip is not necessary, but a dollar or two in a rip jar is nice if you can spare it.

[Sam Punk]

Never. I'm not going to subsidize somebody's salary.

[chazraps]

1) So you don't tip ANYWHERE?
2) Where are you from/currently residing? Is it a cultural thing?

[AFN: Judge Shred]

Depends on where it is and the service. If I get exceptional service I will. I almost always tip at Quiznos because the two main staff know me, know my order and are very nice. I usually get extra meat and often get upgraded in size or a free drink or extra punches on my loyalty card. They take care of me, I take care of them.

[Sektor]

No, I tip waiters. Typically, you're getting paid a full wage just to prepare the food.

[Dub H]

I must notice that if i voted on this six months ago i would have voted,for cultural reasons.Not every place in the world tip is seen as a social obligation.Where i lived no one talked about tips(tough tips sometimes happened if the people was REALLY happy).

I heard ,i have no proof that some places(i think that was japan)tip was considered a offense,or as a "pitty" gesture.
