Carry-out question

[Deleted]

Do you tip when you get carry-out?

[MyName]

Not usually. If I wanted to tip, I'd eat out or get something delivered.

I'll throw coins I get as change into those tip cups at DD and other such places though.

Me neither. My bff was asking me today, her BIL was telling her she should tip. My thought is that the person isn't waiting on me, they aren't serving me anything, they don't do extra work that is deserving of a tip.

Apparently at the place they get carry-out from the girl that gave him their order was complaining to him that she never tips
I guess I never thought it was required...

[mayflowers22]

I usually don't.

Nope.

No

Uh, no. You get tips for doing shit. If I pick it up.. they aren't doing anything.

In my book, complaining that you don't get tipped enough to patrons gets you no tip. It's rude.

I'll tip a barrista, but everywhere else would be like tipping at a fast food joint, and they don't even have tip cups.

Nope

Not usually, but every now I will if they hook me up for no charge with extra sauces, bread, or whatever when I ask and are super nice. That's maybe 1 out of every 6 times or so.

I tip when I get sushi because the lady still made my rolls from scratch. And I tip at my Thai place because I love them so much and they always give me little extras. I don't tip anywhere else.

I'm on a sonic strike because I hate that I have to tip there. It's fast food, and isnt like they're waiting on me! Pay your employees more! Boo.

How do they enforce that?

[honeydew1894]

oooh ok. I've only been there once, and I couldn't remember that happening. Thanks for explaining!

They don't. You can easily not tip them but I feel bad because they pay their employees like waitresses.

But if you swipe your card at the order thing, they don't give you anything to sign. If you're going to tip you'd have to give cash. We use our card because we don't have cash at the time....so no tip.

I didn't realize they get paid a waitress's wage. I only tip carhops if they were very friendly or if I was a pain in the ass.

I don't tip for carry-out or any other place where payment is expected when the food is ordered.

You mean tip the cashier?
