The manager of the restaurant said it was real.

And that it was a takeout order and it was "generous".

I usually tip 2 bucks or so for takeout orders, depending on what they have to do, so its fine.

Edit: I'm mistaken, he does not confirm it was real, only that IF its real, it is generous compared to what they usually get.

$3 for takeout is generous. Although I'm sure some former/current server will tell us how he's a terrible person for tipping less than 20%.

He went to a buddy's restaurant a while back, said he tipped well over 20% and was a great guest.

If it's for take out, that would be $3 more than I would tip and I'm not a cheap guy usually. I mean I tip at Sonic.

So what are the chances Drew's AMEX ends in 1000? Maybe it's one of the super-duper triple-platinum black ones that only 100 people have?

That is pretty fricking cheap on his part. I tip 10% on take out. Most of these workers are making peanuts. Just me but if I was ordering food from a place on a regular basis, take out or not, not going to leave them a $3 tip that is for damn sure. Not when they are preparing my food!

Doesn't look like he is ordering from this place on a regular basis. Looks as if this place is in Cally.

I never tip for take out. You've not provided me with any service aside from handing me my food in a bag. Sorry.

for what service? Last time I worked in a restaurant, the cooks didn't get tipped out. They are doing all the work for a take out order

The tip goes to the wait staff...who does nothing in take out situations.

I guess I should have stated that I always make sure the tip goes to the cooks. I always contact the manager working to make sure that it does go to the cooks. Then again I always order pretty much from the same places so they know now.

I can see doing this if you frequent a place.

But this is some random place that Brees is probably never gonna go back to in California.




If this even happened at all.
