Isn't that what they're supposed to do, though?
Well, sit down servers are supposed to bring you food, but you tip them, dontcha?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I tend to tip at the take out places I go to a lot, like the local sushi restaurants.

I should clarify. For me it depends on the place. If it seems like the person doing the take-out orders is a bartender or wait-staff person, somebody who normally gets tips, then I throw in a buck or two. But I don't do it for a fast food place.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just had an awesome flashback of my first date with this one guy in college, where he tipped the concession stand at the movie theater. He was a bartender, and nervous. Cute.

Yes, but tips are part of their wages, right? I really don't grok the whole tipping thing. It seems like there are way more people to tip than I would have considered. Seriously, what is the difference between tipping for take-out and tipping a McDonald's cashier? They ring you up and hand you your food; it just happens to be better food at one place.

Whenever I got a tip from someone coming in for takeout, I was pleased and grateful, but I never expected one.
I tip a delivery driver a buck or two, but not if the restaurant charges a delivery fee. Unless the weather is hideous. Then I am very, very grateful.

Does the driver get a part of the delivery fee? I've wondered whether you're supposed to tip on top of that. Because I know for room service there's supposed to be gratuity on top of the delivery fee.

Right? Too bad he had another girlfriend at the time (who he later married). Oh well.

You don't have to tip for takeout, do you?
I don't tip on takeout, unless there's an exceptional job, because the food is usally made, put together and boxed up in the kitchen. The person who actually gives it to me normally just takes the money. Now, if I see them check the bag to make sure I have everything, or they make a point of confirming my order is correct, I might tip.
