1) So you don't tip ANYWHERE? 2) Where are you from/currently residing? Is it a cultural thing? I don't tip anywhere. It's my job to pay for the food and the businesses job to pay their employees. I am from New York, usa. Typically people here do tip but I choose not to for reasons mentioned above.

I've never tipped anywhere as it's not customary to do so here.

I'll throw something in the jar, if I have extra money.

Hello no.
I tip waiters/waitresses and delivery people. However lately, we typically do carryout so we can avoid paying extra for delivery, because that's really expensive now. Pizza Hut by our house charges $2.85 to deliver, and then tip on top of that? No thanks.

I am from New York, usa. Typically people here do tip but I choose not to for reasons mentioned above. I don't think you quite get why people tip/how tipping works. I mean, I'd prefer it to if restaurants and businesses paid them employees enough to make tipping purely supplemental, but you technically should be paying for their serving as the middle-person for the goods/service between you and the establishment. ESPECIALLY in New York. When you go to a restaurant, after your host/hostess seats you, do you then volunteer to go to the kitchen yourself, tell the kitchen what you want, and then bring the food back to your table when the order is ready? If not, you're essentially not paying for a service rendered to you and stealing from the waitperson.

In fact, looking at it that way almost makes me want to reconsider tipping at all. The server's job, at its most basic level, is to communicate my order to the kitchen and to bring me my food. If they don't do that for the wages they're paid, they're stealing from their employer. If I go to Wal-Mart and have to ask a staff member where to find an item, I don't pay them for their assistance. I don't pay the cashier anything extra, either. I consider any service I receive in a retail store to be included in the cost of the item. And I don't buy this "they make less than minimum wage" mentality. I have worked in multiple restaurants, and most of my friends have as well. All of them have enjoyed the fact that restaurant work pays better than anything else requiring a similar skill level. Two weekend shifts (12 hours) would net a minimum of $100 in tips. That's $8.33 per hour. So talking about how people are making $2/hour less than minimum wage doesn't hold up if there's another $8+ minimum coming in on top of that. I'm not going to let anyone shame me into tipping or make me feel guilty if I decide not to tip. It's up to me, and if the service is bad, I won't tip. I will never hold a mistake from the kitchen against the server, but if the server is clueless, negligent, rude, uncaring, etc., I will have no problem paying my bill to the exact cent. As for take out, no, I won't tip. There is no service provided, so handing me a bag of food and taking my money is no different from somewhere like Wal-Mart. The exception, as mentioned above, is a place that will go out of their way to make it possible for me to eat their food (ie. Subway workers willing to use a clean knife or wash the knife). That's a definite tipping situation.

Always, unless my order is screwed up or the service is horrible.
