re: Yet another tipping thread- Do you tip on carryout from a restaurant?

quote:

Went a place tonight and did an order over the phone for a meal totaling $33. At the end the guy told me to come in and ask for Sean when I pickup the food. Went in and Sean helped me out and got me the food and I paid but did not tip. Does this make me a POS?

From what I understand the servers have to take out time to prepare carry out orders & they can be a bigger pain.. Therefore I always tip on carryout



Sean would have gotten $6 or 7 dollars from me.


Someone in the industry can clear this up , but it seems Sean had to take time from his tables , find take out plates & bring into the carry out area(instead of your table).
