Do you tip when ordering Carryout???

[norman428]

Nope, all they do is hand it to you, not that hard. Unless they have to bring it to my table, manage my drinks, and actually provide a service, I don't see the point in a tip.

Im curious what Ingo does????

I goofed on my vote. We don't tip for carryout, as one person said, we do all the work, at least leg work that is. What we do tip for is Delivery, they use their own gas, vehicle, carry their own ins. etc., so for them bringing it to the house so that we don't have to go out, yea, we usually give them between $6 to $8 bucks. Just cuz....

It depends on if it is put to gether by the hoists or a waitres. The waitres works on tips not the hoists. Alot of restrunts by me the waitres put the order to gether.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Carryout - NO
Delivery - YES

 

[Chefcook]

No I do not... Why would I tip for carry out??? WTF I am in the business and this doesn't even make since to me???

 

[Expat]

I might tip at the Chinese place if I was getting the happy ending but otherwise. No.

 

[Ronald]

All waiter does is hand it to you and I can't really tip the cook, so no.

 

[manygunsmike]

NO

Depends on the restaurant. Some places have a person dedicated to putting together carryout orders and they are paid the same $2.13 as the servers. I generally tip around 10% if I know (or am unsure) thats the case.

You don't tip the cooks, cause they're making at least minimum wage. Same goes for the cashier at McDonald's.
Tips are to make up for what the restaurants don't pay; it's a dumb system that I wish would go away. And if places started popping up that refused tips and paid their staff a reasonable rate, I'd start patronizing those more often. But until then, I'm not gonna screw over someone whose working for a living. It's just like taxes, its factored into my cost of getting food.

I do, especially if I go to a place where they "carry out" to your car. the person had to place the order together and carry it out. I usually don't tip as much since they don't come to my table and refill my drink or tuck in my napkin.

 

[Davis0023]

Yea, I try to tip often, and normally more than I should ,but I am just nice like that. I kinda like to think its a karma thing...and if I'm wrong,,then I was just taking care of my neighbor...

 

[boileralum]

I usually tip 10% on takeout.

Me too, but I normally only get carryout from a couple of mexican restaurants, and the guy taking my order also goes back to the kitchen and brings it back up to me.

 

[db1959]

It all depends on how hot they are.

Most of the time I do but its only 10%.

I can only imagine you are referring to a restaurant that advertises having curb service. I still cannont think of one that does enough of this that they would devote an employee to this only.

Example?

Example?

The New Bethel Ordinary.

 

[Benny]

Example?

Many, if not most dine-in restaurants that offer carry-out.

 

[hoosierdoc]

If they carry it out to my car, yes

 

[JohnP82]

No

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Assuming you mean, I pay, they hand it to me, and I carry it home--then no.

I can't remember the last time I've been to restaurant and used their curb side service--but my general rule is, if I have to do all the work AND pay, you don't get a tip for handing me a bag....but I'm thinking of McDonald's, BK, Pizza Hut, etc.

I was not aware of some of the other arrangements some restaurants have as mentioned above. If I knew somebody was only making $2.13/ hr plus tips, I would reconsider.
