ST Poll: Tipping on a carryout order at a restaurant, Yes or No?

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Aug 2 '13, 08:11

And if Yes, standard amount or less than if a server was waiting on you?

Responses:

Almost never unless it's an especially large order for a family function. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 2, 08:43
No way (nm) - Brian Aug 2, 08:37
Not for most but there is a local family run restaurant that I've been going to forever and I do add approx 10% -- nm - JD Aug 2, 08:29
Usually yes, a small amt. -- nm - kelly Aug 2, 08:29
okay, how about on a $170 order from a food truck? -- (link) - znufrii Aug 2, 08:17 4
- is it customary to tip food trucks? -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:26 1
  - I think it's dangerous and illegal. Insurance companies hate it. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 2, 09:09
- Here's a hint: Don't work in a job relying on the kindness of strangers if you get pissed they aren't kind. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:23 1
  - *golf clap* -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 08:29
yesterday I got lunch to go and tipped and hated myself for it. I had this moment where I thought "oh crap. my server is going to be GR'd on my tab." - amanda Aug 2, 08:16 4
- yeah, I always hate myself after but I feel pressured by the tip prompt when I'm paying by debit card -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:20 3
  - I must have been tired. or hungry. normally I just don't do it but yesterday ... argh. -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:24
  - I happily slash it out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:20 1
    - yup. - znufrii Aug 2, 08:22
If I like the place and am somewhat regular, sure. Otherwise no. -- nm - Shaun Aug 2, 08:16 1
- This is me....except carry-out at the buffet place (I filled my own box!) -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 08:23
Nope. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:15
i do if it is a regular waitress that is serving me at a counter. i am taking up her time too. i don't tip as much as a table though, obviously. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 08:14
No -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 08:14
hell no. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:13
I have been recently but only because of an ST discussion last year. - David Aug 2, 08:13 11
- Don't tip on a carryout under $15. That's a family pickup at McDonald's - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:22 5
  - up here there's no way $15 feeds a family at McDonald's -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:30 4
    - A family of how many? -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:43 2
      - that might feed two people here -- nm - zork Aug 2, 08:44 1
        
        Wow. We have $1 menu here. Large drink, burger, fries = $3. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:46
    - that is pretty close to what it costs my family to eat there. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:38
- This. Plus it depends on the place. - spamlet Aug 2, 08:16
- If they deliver, they get a tip. If I pick-up, they forfeit that. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:14 3
  - I'd rather hear about Drew Brees tipping than a career 46-catch WR saying the n-word. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:17 1
    - I agree in theory but I think the interesting part of that story is the inner machinations of team chemistry. - David Aug 2, 08:27
  - I agreee. -- nm - amanda Aug 2, 08:17
Sometimes I drop a buck in the jar. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:13 2
- I'll do this sometimes too. -- nm - MDH Aug 2, 08:13
- Very often I drop the change in the jar. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:13
(did you hear this on Mike&Mike yesterday?) I've always said no -- nm - decline Aug 2, 08:12 10
- Colin is talking about it today, in light of the Brees story. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 2, 08:14 5
  - The guy who runs the-dirty is just a jackass troll. He was talking out of his ass and now he is relishing the negative attention. - David Aug 2, 08:25
  - He talked about it yesterday. And today. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:15 3
    - I change the station as soon as he comes on. -- nm - Krusty Aug 2, 08:17 2
      - It pleases me that he comes on at 10am. If I hear him it is because I am running late. - Spawn Aug 2, 08:19 1
        
        Oops. Yesterday, he was on during M&M talking about it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:19
- Here. -- (link) - Spawn Aug 2, 08:13 3
  - Yeah, I'm with Drew on this one. The only time I tip a carryout order is if it's curbside takeaway and someone actually brings me my food. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:16
  - yeah, that's what Mike & Mike where referencing. -- nm - decline Aug 2, 08:15 1
    - This is him reacting to the reactions from yesterday. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:16
No. -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 08:12
No! -- nm - Drew Aug 2, 08:12
