re: Do you or do you not Tip when picking up food to go?

If you get a to-go order from a place that you go to frequently, it is probably in your best interest to tip a dollar or two.

BTW, I usually tip the Sonic kids a dollar because they always appreciate it. I try to show appreciation to the high school kids who are working rather than sitting on their asses playing video games all day.

well sonic is different. i don't consider that carryout, i've always just ate there when i go

You don't have to. Lots of people don't. Fine with me. For people who tipped curbside, I was thankful. For those that didn't, I wasn't butthurt.

Yay, the tired old thread so the rednecks can show their asses.
As others have said, it depends on the place, how often I frequent and how the service was.

Sometimes you are calling in an order to an server or bartender who has to stop serving other guest who hopefully will tip correctly. $2.50 to $3.50 an hour these folks are making. This is is the way the game is played. Either tip and take care of these folks or fcking just go to taco bell drive through and deal with the nimrods who work there as that is all you deserve.

Of course, some kind of places and some situations don't deserve it, but I am generalizing here.

Not a redneck by a long stretch. I just don't see the point of tipping to-go orders. If it's curbside that's one thing but if I call in an order, get out of my car and come inside to pick it up I don't see the need to tip.

THE SHOOTING RANGE, and there was a tip jar at the register

That is funny. Never heard of that one.

I don't tip. I'm doing the work that I would otherwise be tipping for. If tips went to the kitchen, I may do it. But they don't, and I'm not going to give someone a dollar for not doing anything. And I don't feel guilty or cheap about it, because I'm not cheap and there's nothing to feel guilty about.

Yeah, like Smoothie King. I'm paying $5 for a non-alcoholic drink and you want a tip? For what? Making my smoothie is exactly your job description.

I think I'll put a tip jar outside my apartment door and see what happens.
