What do you tip on take out food?

[Further]

Last night picked up food from Pok Pok. Bill is 35$, since its just take out I leave 3.50 which is 10%.

When you get food to go and eat elsewhere, what do you tip?

$0, unless its a place I frequent and know the people.

They're not waiting on you, refilling your drink, etc.

For delivery, I tip a flat $2. There's always a delivery charge on top of that.

$2?!?

Ouch Denny. That's cold. At least offer to make them a mod on S2.

It's more like $4.50 with the delivery charge. But I don't order out much anyway.

I usually go 10% also.

I never order food delivered to my home. Generally speaking, I tip around 10% for take-out.

Insert racist joke here.

you should tip at least 15% for delivery, i mean not only are you to lazy to cook, but you are too lazy to pick it up as well

 

[donkiez]

0% to a few dollars, I usually try and use cash just so I dont feel like an ass for putting 0 on the tip line. I really hate the tipping as an expectation in our culture, I even saw a tip jar at a gas station/A&W awhile go. I do usually tip delivery guys well though, even with the delivery charge, they have shitty jobs and I order frequently from a few of the same places, plus I feel its a luxery/service worth having.

but yeah, take out gets nada

Yes. The way I look at it is, take out employees are entry level positions...or, at least, should be. When they prove to management they can be servers, tips then accompany the advanced position.

I just got some delicious Thai Food. Spent 25 and tipped $2.

Fantastic yellow curry and Tom Khaw soup to die for.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

I tip the gas station attendant all the time. Only a buck or two but they never get tips and they always really appreciate it.

As far as the delivery guys go I always tip them $5 or more. That's a rough and dangerous gig. Most of those guys only work for as along as the dinner rush lasts. Delivery people get robbed more often than convience store clerks. Also I can afford it.

How much should you tip the UPS driver?

He delivers to you, right?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

how much do you tip at mcdonalds?

 

[3RA1N1AC]

sometimes i ONLY give them the tip, leaves them wanting more

 

[chevyrunssometimes]

At least 20% either way. Eat in, they serve you. Take out they serve you from a longer distance and often use special takeout hardware.

 

[MARIS61]

Nothing ever for take out.

Usually 20-30% for delivery.

Kind of a cheap skate don't ya think?

 

[tlongII]

Zero for take out.

Hey, if burger flippers can unionize and demand $15/hr, so can these fine people unionize and demand tips from us.

"Demand" tips? Please.

Really?

$2 is 10% tip on a $20 order.

You'd be surprised. I was tipped several times during the holidays.

 

[magnifier661]

I tip 20%, but only if I sit down. Take out doesn't deserve a tip, IMO.

Delivery, I always tip 20%.
