Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My sister got herself embroiled as proxy caretaker for a cousin with a crazy mother and unidentified father and overseas siblings. Fuck, the hoops the bitch mother put her through were insane. Woman refused to take her son to boarding school. In Jamaica you don't exactly put a kid on a bus, you know? My sister had to drive him cross country, or no education for him.

As soon as he got old enough he moved in with a much older sister in the US, but he'll never forget all the things my sister did for him.

You don't have to tip for takeout, do you? I am, but last time this place didn't charge my card for the tip. And I'm not putting on as much as for a sitdown meal, which I think is reasonable. Or is it?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I tip for delivery, but not for takeout that I pick up from the restaurant.

Our wings are not tired.

I think it's reasonable to add a couple of bucks if they put together a nice bag with napkins and utensils for you. I never add a full 15% for take out.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I don't think tips are required for takeout but I always try to add a few bucks for the delivery driver. Definitely not as much as a sit-down meal. And I'm pretty sure most delivery people are paid higher wages than servers. And they don't have to split tips with bussers and bartenders.

edited to be clearer--I DO tip for take out but only a buck or two--for the person ringing me up and if they make sure I have chopsticks, etc.. Always tip for delivered.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

If there's a tip jar, I'll leave coin change in it. Otherwise I don't think takeout requires a tip.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think it's reasonable to add a couple of bucks if they put together a nice bag with napkins and utensils for you.

Isn't that what they're supposed to do, though? I've never considered tipping for take-out. That seems like tipping your McDonald's cashier.

I'll usually do a buck or two for takeout. I don't think it's required though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
