Off Topic 2013

Come on now, let's not get OT closed.

There's no illegal talk going on. No sexual talk, no drugs talk, no racial talk, no political talk, and nothing above PG-13. Little kids talk about this stuff when they are getting potty trained.

I cleaned it up. It's OS safe now. And it wasn't quoted before I edited it.

Looks like I'm going on a shopping spree this weekend. But it will be a small one.

Hey Guys. Magic here.

Something I've always been curious about. Are you expected to tip at a restaurant when its a take out order?

I'm inclined to say no, as no one is actually waiting on me. And I dont see the difference between that and ordering food from McDonald's or something where you're not expected to tip.

But I feel guilty if I dont, so I do leave a little something because the receipt always has that bold TIP area glaring at you. That and the fact that my "peer group" are not considered to be good tippers. Thus I do not want to perpetuate that line of thinking. Lol

Figured I'd ask you all, as there seems to be plenty of tipping experts amongst us.

That is all. Magic out.

I typically don't. Cooks are paid on a different pay-scale than waiters/delivery people so if I go pick up Chinese food or my pizza I don't tip.

Yeah you did lob that one out there.

On the tipping on takeout, I don't see why you should tip. Like you said at that point it's no different then going to McDonalds. I got take out at a chinese buffet a couple weeks back and saw that tip line on the receipt and thought to myself for a second and left it blank. They didn't do anything but cook the food and I'm paying for that already.

Lol hell no. If I'm driving there to pick up takeout, aint nobody getting tipped.

Hey Guys. Magic here.

You know when can see who post, right?

Only time I tip when picking up is it's places like Applebee's that bring your food out to you. Even then, I only tip if it's rainy, snowing, icy, etc

Magic likes to make a splash when he enters a thread...like a cannonball into the pool

That's a good question that I get caught up in as well (tipping take out). At the Chinese place I go, we've been going there for years and they are the nicest folks and hard-working. So I like to tip a few dollars for their efforts.

But basically anywhere else...no.

When Sandy hit the one pizza place that was open was packed as hell because no one else had power and wanted hot food and no other food places were open, so I tipped like $10 on a $10 order

Great example of situational tipping. Good on ya, Jon.

True Life: I'm addicted to tip jars. Just a buck and change usually, unless it's a place I really love. There's a few where I'll throw in a 5 or something because I know I'm getting great service.

As for writing in tips for takeout sometimes I do sometimes I don't. That's the reason I'm getting takeout over delivery: always more fresh and I don't have to tip like $5 on top of the order and delivery fee. I don't think people have an issue with no tip on takeout unless it's a big *** order.

A few bucks written in on the tip line ain't gonna kill me, and I'm pretty broke. That's how I see it. It's worth making someone's day.

So what's the tipping etiquette in places that where you order from the counter? (not fast food places).

Only tip if they bring the food out to you or what?
