Do I tip when picking up carry out

[Anonymous]

I tip a few $ for a sit down restaurant (unless it's a pizza restaurant actually)

Yes, 10% or a few dollars. I don't usually go above $5. My sister was a hostess at a restaurant, and she said that they had to do most of the packing up of the food and making salads for take out.

I worked packing up and delivering and nearly always was tipped. This was where I grew up, in a less affluent area than DC. Tips were usually $2 to $3 and this was decades ago. I agree with 10% as a standard.

I told the cashier at Papa Johns to keep the change from a 20 on a $17 pizza order and he looked so shocked that I'm guessing people rarely tip on pizza, at least. For something from a sit-down resturant I usually do $3-4 as well.

15% on carryout. 20% dining in. The person who packed it up is probably earning minimum wage or close to it. The extra dollar or two means little to me, but means a lot more to that person assuming everyone else is not a jerk like many of you in this group and leaves a tip as well it can add up to a living wage. If you aren't going to tip and pay for the service you are given, eat at home.

I'm one of the PPs who said that I tip 10% on carry out, but I don't tip at fast food places. I count pizza as fast food.

Well that doesn't make any sense. If I were going to tip for carry out, I would tip the people who work at shittier restaurants more, not less.

At a restaurant, a server is bagging up your meal. They don't make minimum wage.

A couple of dollars when I pick up. At least $5 for delivery (10%).

10 - 15 % for poor service. 20% for good service. 30% for very good service.
