Does it hurt to round up to the nearest 5 or 0? Meaning if the food is $17 give a $20, $43 give $45, $32 give $35 etc.

Most people make less than minimum wage without tips. Restaurants only give them salaries to cover the books and what not.Originally Posted by RFX45
^^^ This may sound insensitive but I thought thats why you get by the hour for?
I understand waiters/servers doesn't make a lot of money though but I still feel that it is part of the job and tipping is for a more personal service.
Not to be arrogant but when i get superb service at a sit down dinner, I have tipped up to 45% of the bill and I just never feel that I get that by picking up food.
Like I said, I never tip at McDonalds and when I pick-up food, I feel that it is just part of their job to prepare and pack my food.

I'm the same way.Originally Posted by brandonb2005
I tip when I sit down and delivery
Never when I am picking up
I'm not going to McDonalds though. I'm going to a restaurant that offers curbside service. I don't think the $2.00 is much. If I ordercurbside i've already spent around $20-$30 in food. What the hell is $2.00 to me?Originally Posted by RFX45

They're doing the same job, and it's more inconvenient to them.
They pause what they're doing to take your carryout order, write the order and then box it, put all the silverware, napkins, etc. in and have it ready for you. You should tip them the same or close to what you would tip them if they waited on you.
and this is why "you and your people" don't get served promptly. People remember faces, and names on carry-outs. If you don't tip you're not their top priority.
Even just the people who say they throw $1..that's much better than nothing. Just knowing someone was like "hey, I appreciate you putting your other customers on hold for a sec and getting my stuff together" makes it alright. It's the people that think that just because they didn't physically sit down the wait staff didn't do the same exact thing.
No Those are the reasons I don't Tip I'm not saying that i never tip but ibetter get some damd good service to tip.
a couple years back I was chillin out in Ohio and me and my peeps decide to eat out so we picked a steak joint a lil down the road from where we was at ( sidenote %!+*%% got drive through stores out there pull up and get some henny and a dutch without turning the gas off.) so we go eat and its playoff time and iasked our waiter once for the score of the heat game i remember him coming back it and saying something like its 27-20 Heat start of the second Quarter everytime he came buy the table he gave us an update he even got to the point where they moved some giant display they had in the restaurant so that we could seethe flat screen and watch the remainder of the game.. seeing how cool this dude was we started talking to him he was a cool dude asked him the hang out spotsand what not were to get the Good Green from. so after the game we get dudes manager and make up this big story how we are restaurant Critics and we justembellished her with Compliments for Mike after words we all gave mike $20 Party of 6 you do the math. I tip But not to the people who are just doing their Jobgotta go above and beyond to get more out of me
Probably but when you're employing illegal immigrants, teenagers, single mother's etc. who's to complain? When you include tips,usually it equates to at least mininum wage, but there were nights when I would work 6 hours and make $2 in tips because we only had 10 tables and 9 paid incredit card.Originally Posted by RFX45

I have never heard of that. Hmmm... It is illegal to make less than the minimum wage an hour unless they are paid under the table, no?
At least in CA it is, I mean they are even so strict and forces people to take breaks even when they don't want to, I could imagine minimum wage to be of similar restrictions.
you make it seem like that extra $5 or whatever is getting stolen from you won't show up on your statement....let someone, or a restaurant goahead and do that...Originally Posted by iMixedi
I'm a host for a restaurant and it's nice when people do tip.
Also, If your paying for your food with Credit/Debit..don't be lazy and just ignore the tip/total lines on the receipt that they gave you to sign with your signature. People can go behind your back and charge you for a tip you never gave if you just leave it blank.
You're smart, but a lot of people aren't. I read about a scam like that a while ago.Originally Posted by DoubleJs07

I keep all of my receipts until it shows the (proper) deduction in my statement...then they go thru the shredder....
