re: What do you Tip Dine-in vs. take-out?

So let me get this straight:
Food: $100
Wine: $100
Tax: $20
Total: $220
Tip 20% $34
All that extra math you did saved you $10, not even worth it. If the service was good the server deserves the extra money IMO.
Just do this and don't worry about it! LOL!
I tip 20% across the board rounded up to whatever makes the total bill an even number.

I only tip a few bucks for take out. Most restaurants have that position totally separate from waiting tables and the person is getting paid minimum wage, at least. A couple bucks from a few people an hour gives them a nice hourly wage. They aren’t serving me or refilling anything. Don’t see why I should tip even 10%. If they find some way to go above and beyond then sure, I’ll throw in more.
Now that I think about it, usually I am picking up for only myself so if my bill is around $20 then tipping $2 is 10% anyway. But it I picked up for a big group and the bill was $100 I wouldn’t suddenly tip $10.

My post perhaps made it seem much more complicated than reality. I tip 20% give or take a few dollars depending on level of service. My point behind the wine post is that if I order a 150.00 bottle of wine, I don't feel the need to include a 30.00 tip in the total for that beverage service.
A traditional tip is 15-18% of food total, not including taxes or liquor costs.
Somehow over the years it has become customary to calculate the tip amount on the bill total. Point is, servers are making more money.
