[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely - we never ordered takeout much, but average 1-2x per month. I ALWAYS order directly from the restaurant and pick it up - the Uber Eats / DoorDash fees (in addition to higher menu prices!) are outrageous and completely avoidable. There are also cheaper options out there if you look - we like Harris Teeter’s $8 takeout pizza for a fast dinner. I’ve also decided that I will not tip on counter service anymore as a rule of thumb. The mental gymnastics of deciding if / when / how much was exhausting - if the person is just making my bowl and I have to get my own drink, utensils, and bus my own table, I feel no qualms about this. I tip 20% base (often more) for table service. [/quote]
