[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You were both rude. You are supposed to tip on takeout. The server was also rude for asking directly for a tip.[/quote]No, you don't have to tip on take out. Do you tip at McDonald's? I bet you don't. [/quote]

I went to a sporting event in the Midwest in the last week and the arena was asking concessions customers to leave a tip. No thanks.[/quote]

It appears you enjoyed your sporting event and having concessions customers serve you.[/quote]

The concessions worker does the same thing your kids’ cafeteria worker does or the movie theater concessions worker does. Do you tip there, even if you enjoyed your time at that location? Grab a hot cocoa or apple cider at the local nursery - do you tip there? This is ridiculous. I’m not sure how the argument went from:

- I don’t want to tip non servers for basic and minimal job tasks because that’s not what tipping is for…

- you’re cheap
- did you enjoy the items?
- don’t eat out if you don’t want to pay these funds

It’s not a customer’s job to supplement the incomes of everyone who does anything for me. Walgreens guy looks up my name and hands me my photos puts in the same effort as a hostess looking my name up and handing my order. (Actually, with online ordering and payment, the hostess does less work bc at least Walgreens needs to scan that the items were picked up. The Panera guy who picked up a bagel, runs it through a slicer and toaster and then charges me, puts out similar effort to the post office employee who weighs my packages, bills me for stamps and applies the sticker of correct postage to my package and rings up the transaction.

I’m not tipping to keep a business open. I also give very generously and tip generously to those whom tips are generally expected. [/quote]

+1. This culture of tipping of everyone you have an interaction or transaction with is obscene. [/quote]
