- Heh. I tip on takeout, often. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 13:54 3
  - me too. not 15%, but some. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 13:55 2
    - We usually do a couple of dollars for takeout. -- nm - David Jan 31, 13:56
    - yep. servers for it often do more than just hand over containers. -- nm - b. Jan 31, 13:56
If I'm at the low end chains I'll tip 20% almost always. - Mel Profit Jan 31, 13:52 10
- Same here. We'll go 35% for great service just because we appreciate that sort of dedication with a difficult job. - David Jan 31, 13:54 9
  - we gave our normal waitress (we have her almost every sunday morning, for years) a $20 tip on a $28 bill the weekend before Christmas. - Andie Jan 31, 13:56 8
    - I've done this with hairdressers and with one of our old waitresses who since left the establishment we frequented. -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 14:00 4
      - I've never been treated as well as we were treated by E. - Mel Profit Jan 31, 14:02 3

        If FB is to be believed I suspect she'll be making an appearance. - Mel Profit Jan 31, 14:06 1
