[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, me! It can often be disappointing, overly salted, and lacking in fruits and vegetables. I just cannot do fried food any more when my family wants to order that.

It is also costly, and perplexing, to be asked to tip when picking up food. OK, I tip 20% there which is is expensive. But then you'd think that a sit-down place would be a higher tip, or else counter pickup a lower tip. [/quote]

I feel this way too. I wish it would go back to 10% is the norm for takeout. When I was younger, it was nothing or 10%. I don't think it should be the same as a sit down where they are filling drinks, explaining menu, etc. A small amount for packing it up but there is no service. $15 for a normal chinese takeout pickup to pack up in a bag is insane. It takes about 5 min. [/quote]

I tip $1 per item. So if we get 1 app, 2 entrees, and 1 dessert, it’s $4. If I’m getting like 1 or 2 cheap items I may round up a bit. I always choose custom and never do the automatic tip amounts. Some of them are 15%, 20%, and 25%. Who in their right mind is tipping this much on to go or counter service? [/quote]
