**** you. I drove here to pick up my food. Cooks don't make $2 an hour. Blow me.

That's super annoying, I do agree. I hate it. Makes me not want to order carry out. I don't like feeling awkward in tipping situations since I made a living on tips for so long. However, some restaurants put bartenders on "carry out" duty and when I worked at a restaurant for the first time and found out tipping on carry out was "expected" I was shocked. Ridiculous.

I've only tipped one time when picking up take out food. The waitress was really nice (and hot). The food was taking forever because the kitchen was backed up. She offered me a free drink while I was waiting and after sitting there for 15 minutes...she jokingly offered me a free appetizer.

She got a tip.

Im such a sucker. I tip these people 10-15%. bagging all the food doesn't seem any less hard than refilling my drink.

the only reason I'm out of the industry was because I was worn out...I miss it. So easy to land hot co-workers.

I feel tipping has gotten so out of hand.

I normally do 20% but one of the things that bothers me is if I order an expensive meal and have expensive drinks with a bill of $80 just for me and some shithead orders 5 glasses of water, condiments, the special, sends his meal back once and his bill is $25 with the server doing 5x's more work, he gets away with a $4-5 tip and mine is $16.

I also eat at the bar 99% of the time but still tip 20%

I HATE all these tip jars at everyplace you buy something

The rule is you don't necessarily tip on booze, just the food section.

It depends on the booze. If you each ordered a beer or a glass of wine, then tip 15-20% on the entire order. But, if you had $100 in food and a $300 bottle of wine (extreme case), you don't need to do 15-20% on the expensive bottle of wine. Just look at the effort involved in just bringing a bottle to the table (as opposed to taking order, bringing out food, refiling drinks, checking in periodically, etc), it doesn't make sense to tip 20% for that.

This is true but not a lot of people follow that.
I remember a time when one of my buddies sold a $500 bottle of wine and was showing off to all the other servers -- the table (two top) had a $100 meal (minus the wine) and tipped $20
He learned a valuable lesson that night

Don't know what's worse. Not tipping or the douchebags screen capping reciepts and taking it to the internets.

however, if I'm sitting at a bar, I'll tip on the drink like a buck or two. but, if I have 3 beers, the bartender looks like at me like I"m cheap for not tipping on those.

If I'm having several drinks etc, I'll tip ever couple drinks. But I"m not paying $7.5 for a beer, then added a buck to it for each one.

That's why you open a tab, and pay on the total - you certainly don't owe much more than 10% for people slinging drinks five feet from you.

I will usually tip decently (a couple of bucks) on the first drink and then I'll tip every 2-3 drinks.

This makes no sense to me. Tipping for a drink. It's literally, hey man can I have a beer, wait 2 seconds. Ok thanks. That's worth 1-2 dollars?
