Tipping at self serve places or pick up.

cbear : And Menchies is not cheap!!!

Some people enjoy tipping. I'm sure the employees don't expect one every time. You have not because you ask not.

I leave a couple dollars because someone had to package it up for takeout, but it's not the same as I would a server at a dine in place.

Eh, give them folks their flowers. Lol! Most people just throw in loose change anyway. I don't have an issue with it. It's hard out here in these streets and if I have a dollar or two to give or some spare change, I'll gladly give it.

amanda79 : You are RIGHT! It's not.

@MeMyselfAndI : I'm sorry but, I don't tip at McDonalds. I feel like drive thru's, self serves and pick up's should not expect a tip. IMO.

I usually tip at the locations that have tip jars, especially those that usually hire young staff. Usually it is just a $1 or something if it something simple. I feel things kids are working while in school to help out paying for their own stuff.

cbear : The weird thing is the same people who tip for take out decide to not tip at fast food places most likely. Like the old saying goes "society says to tip these people, but not these people over here". Etc

cbear : I tipped the bagger at HEB today because she carefully bagged raw meat separately and individually, then put other cold together, and frozen separate. She kept the bread and bakery aside and asked if it was ok where she planned to put them in the cart. Not many pay attention to what they bag. I tip when I order pickup at a restaurant like papacitas cuz there are a lot of details and sides and sauces. I tip at the laundromat, at culvers to the person cleaning tables, and jersey mikes. I don't tip at McDonald's. Still waiting on them to get my order right.

Nope : How did they require it? You couldn't put a line through the tip line and pay the billed amount?

Nope : If it bothers you pay with cash.

cbear : Funny you mention this. Son and I went out for breakfast in Cleveland this morning. Brewery something or other. We had to place our order, fetch our own water - no biggie - but when it came time to pay The first thing that pops up on screen is tip prompt, so I clicked the first option thinking it was the smallest amount. Nope - it was the most expensive option - 25%. Gasp! I already clicked it so didnt say anything, just paid it. Damn sneaky if you ask me.
