Tipping on a carry out order??

[4Dragons]

I absolutely 100% will never ever tip on a carry out. I tip extremely well 20% regardless and sometimes up to 50% if the service was really good, but I will never ever tip on a carry out.

What service was provided to me? Nothing. They didn't have to check if my food was ok, give me refills, be nice in general. All they have to do is put the food on the counter and take my money. There's no reason to tip on carry out, I think the thought of it is absurd.

Someone cooking your food is not a service provided to you? What people also tend to forget when making a togo order from a sit down restaurant/bar is that it is another order for the kitchen to make, and bogs down the service happening to people inside the place. Something just for yourself not a huge deal, but ordering togo for 4+ people in the middle of lunch or dinner is generally not well liked by people in the restaurant.

I rarely order takeout, but will leave ~10%. I tend to eat at alot of counter-service type spots (local versions of like Chipotle, or food trucks) and I always throw down a buck per "entree" which would be like 12-15%

Who told you that the cpok gets any part of any tip? Idiodic comment. As for Drew Breese, he should tip large because he's known and stories like this happen. It could have been a story of his $20 tip on a $20 order just the same.
