[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]

DP but we got to Costco and get the big bag of individual serving sizes of edamame. If we takeout sushi we just steam that in the microwave. I can’t justify $6 (sometimes even more!) in a basic edamame app. There are also freezer kits to make your own boba. I didn’t look closely at the price at the beach the other weekend on vacation and paid $12 for some watered down boba (tourist trap, my mistake). Usually I get the Costco ones for home. You can also make miso soup at home for cheaper. We just take out “mains” that we cannot substitute for on our own.[/quote]
