And, also, even if waitstaff is doing it (I've never seen them) they are spending a minute on it. I tip when I sit at that restaurant because that - ty97 Oct 30, 13:48 2
- And - for most places that offer takeaway - they have a specific person dedicated to takeaway. nm - The Tuesday Night Delight Oct 30, 13:56 1
  - Yes, massive chain restaurants have this. Most mom & pop do not. -- nm - MDH Oct 30, 13:56
Yep - I can't think of anywhere I've ever gone for take out where a member of the wait staff got my food for me. Ever. -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight Oct 30, 13:47 12
- who do you think rang it up? the kitchen staff don't have that computer access. who handled your payment? -- nm - Half-price Halloween cAndie Oct 30, 13:48 11
  - Whoever answered the phone, which for any restaurant that offers carryout/takeaway is not a waiter. -- nm - The Tuesday Night Delight Oct 30, 13:49 4
    - i think you all are used to large chains. that's not really how independent restaurants work. -- nm - Half-price Halloween cAndie Oct 30, 13:51 3
      - It is at any of the places I take out from. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Oct 30, 13:52
      - I would never get carry-out from such a place. Dine in, sure. -- nm - Michael Oct 30, 13:52 1
        
        Word. nm - The Tuesday Night Delight Oct 30, 13:52
  - The manager or front person. -- nm - Michael Oct 30, 13:49
  - who answered the phone and took the order, who coordinated to get it done, etc.. -- nm - MDH Oct 30, 13:49 4
    - Usually the host staff, in my experience. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Oct 30, 13:50
    - Have you all heard of on-line ordering? Who calls to order? -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 13:49 2
      - So who is supposed to monitor incoming orders, and then pack them up? -- nm - MDH Oct 30, 13:50 1
        
        THE KITCHEN -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 13:51

    - I've never been a serial killer but I have opinions on serial killing, you cool with that? -- nm - ty97 Oct 30, 13:51 2
      - "No, strangling isn't part of your MO! You're doing it wrong!" -- nm - ty97 si Oct 30, 13:54
      - shrug, sure. just, anyone who was ever a waiter will tell you reality is different than I think you think it is. -- nm - Half-price Halloween cAndie Oct 30, 13:51
