You order at counter and they walk it to your table.

Normal 15-20% or 5-10%?

None?

Maybe a dollar in the tip jar?

A buck or two if i get some good service. None of them are making under minimum wage.

If it's a pretty girl then I'll give her a lot of money. If she thinks I have a lot of money then she might have sex.

I'll tip a dollar if it's a cute girl, which a lot of the time it is.

By that logic a cute boy gets a 20 dollar bill from you? That seems excessive

I've decided I'm done tipping outside of your normal waiter/waitress interaction. Everything has a tip line now... unnecessary.

Went to a burger place -- one of those fast casual where you walk up, order and get your food -- and receipt had a line for a tip. I tipped a few bucks assuming they would bring the food to the table. 5 minutes later, they call my name to come get the food. Worthless.

Whereas a place like In and Out or Shake Shake just gives you a receipt and they call your name. No tip

Hate places that make you order at the counter but still tip at least 10%.

The OT is a bad place to get tipping advice. Not sure why so many tipping threads get started here

0. I might leave a buck or 2 if I'm drunk and feeling generous

If they pour me a beer, I do the standard dollar same as a bartender. Otherwise I don't tip them. They aren't servers, they don't wait on you hand and foot, they are cashiers.

Standard OT amount in these situations is to simply double the amount of the check.

I have one place where I like the kids where I put something in the jar when I have it

Even there I talked to one about usually not carrying cash and he said no sweat because they don't expect much
