If it’s a place like subway where I walk up order and they hand me food. It’s either 0 or 15%. Very simple.

Uhh no. It's just 0%. Why on Earth would you tip at Subway. That's absolutely idiotic. The same holds true for people who tip on pickup/carryout at traditional sit down establishments ie Chilis/Texas Roadhouse. There is no reason to tip. You picked the food up. Stop pissing your money away.

I say this, not as some bitter old get off my lawn type, but as a now 40 yr old guy who spent his first 8 working yrs (16-24) in high school and college working in restaurants cooking, starting at Papa Johns and worked my way up to sous chef at James Beard awarded restaurant. Stop being dumb with your money.

I typically go with 20% I'll/quote] More if it's really good service or I'm paying cash and don't want to mess with change. Even with an obviously new server, I'll tip well if their nice and I can tell they're trying. I'll tip them up front just to reassure them and put them at ease. But shite is getting out of control. I remember way back when 10% was standard and 15% was outstanding. Now mf'ers want to be tipped for every mf'ing thing they do. That ain't real world. And I do want to be entertained, I don't want your stand up routine, just keep my drink full and get my food out at the proper time and in the proper order.

Pay with cash

100%.

1. The business doesn’t skim the tip from the server.

2. Most servers can’t calculate what percentage a cash payment is of the bill.

I'm fine with sharing with busboys, kitchen staff etc if they are, but if I want to reward one person specifically, I will.

Frankly, they're the ones doing all the work. Particularly the kitchen staff. Your server literally walks your food 200 ft from the expediting window to your table and keeps your drinks full all while kissing your arse. That's it.

I wish more place would have a way to tip them directly. In restaurants I frequent a lot and know everyone, I do. I want to keep everyone that handles my food or near it to be happy!!

I was in the airport yesterday and got a drink at one of those shops on the side and there wasn’t a single worker there it was fully automated. I grabbed my drink, scanned it and payed for it. Then it asks for a tip

Who exactly was that tip going to the machine who told me how much to pay?

Everyone does.

City had to write me a $14k check because they were overcharging me for water.

I hit the custom button and leave a dollar or two. I hate places that make you get your own drink and pick up your food that do this. If you bring me my food and pick up my trash I'll leave a buck or two. But not a percentage.

Seems to me that Off the Hook must have recently started the tipping bullshite at the drive through. Any other drive through they give you your card and receipt back, but you have to sign the paper for OtH and are expected to leave a tip.
Twice I didn’t leave a tip and twice I was asked to pull up and wait 5 more minutes while cars came and went behind me.
