[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you used a gift card = you got a free meal!

Totally CHEAP OF YOU not to give $5 (or whatever) of your own money.

Yes, I tip on carryout at restaurants that we frequent.   If I don't feel like spending money, we eat at home.   If you eat or drink out, you can help out others that are serving you in some manner.

So typical of DCUM...where did you go for Christmas break?    Private schools, SLACS, enrichment this and that, test prepping, blah blah blah.

WHAT, you want me to leave a few bucks for carryout, are you nuts???

New poster: what a load of crap. People who don’t tip for things that aren’t true service OR historically things people tip for, doesn’t mean they are cheap when it comes to giving to others. I don’t like leave a tip for picking up carry out (very rare) but I’m extremely generous. It’s not black or white. Similarly, you’re not giving just because you do this. This is a very new thing - having an iPad screen that seems a tip for something like this or having a line item of tip when you online order carry out. This isn’t how it’s always been. A cab driver, waitress, manicurist or hair cutter?  Sure. Many others are now new, and they aren’t paid a few bucks an hour. [/quote]

Tell yourself this enough to believe it.  You are cheap (of course other than when it comes to splurging on yourself I am guessing).[/quote]

Ok, how much percentage wise do you give when you are presented with the electronic screen where minimum is 15% to pick up some bakery items or a sandwich? Do you also tip cooks? If packing a sandwich or a pastry into a box and pouring you some coffee is "work" that's "extra", then what should those who actually bake and cook these goodies get as a "tip"? Don't you think cooks and those cutting up veggies for your salads/sandwiches are working hard and are underpaid? They most definitely are underpaid, but we include their labor into the cost of goods sold, while handing it to you and packing it should be covered by a tip?[/quote]
