I was wondering if you tip when you pick up to go orders? I usually tip, but someone told me recently tips were really were for dining in only. just curious if you are a tipper... 4951
I tip about 10%. The staff still had to take time to cook my order and bag it (served in a to go containers...so to speak). All tips are shared among the staff, not just the server. Since they don't have to clean up after me, 10% seems reasonable IMO. 4951
Fast food people are hourly, servers and the staff is not. Maybe the cook is paid hourly, but to my understanding the bus people and servers only get a tiny amount of salary. Someone who has worked in the industry can clarify that. 4951

Yes - now I have to open up everything in the bag to see if it is correct - whether it's fast food or Chuys, Pei Wei, etc. Last December, I stopped by Chuy's after work to get chicken enchiladas for my daughter. She was really excited - I got home - she opened up the container and it was cheese enchiladas. I called up and got the meal comped - how ridiculous, you order one thing and they don't get it right. 4951
@jls2: Well, I would have been okay with that...LOL. When I was pregnant, I craved jalapeños and also cheese enchiladas from Guadalajara (apparently at the time, they had the best).
I do get your point...just goofing around with you. 4951
Fast food.....no tips.We don't tip for take out. Cooks prepare the food and package it, but they don't get a share of tips, so servers would get the tips even though they weren't involved.if we have food delivered, we tip the driver.For a sit-down meal with a server, we tip 20% as long as the service was good. 4951
One of the advantages of getting to-go as opposed to dine in, is that you don't have to tip. Tipping is for the wait staff personal service you get, and the bus boy who cleans. The receipts are all printed with a tip space, but don't let that throw you off. If I order Chinese food for the family and spend 60 bucks, I'm more inclined to get take out and save 15+ bucks than to take everyone out. 4951
