Leave tip on Pick Up?
When you pick up food from a restaurant, do you leave a tip? Cause I sure as hell don’t and my girlfriend considers me a cheap bastard for not doing so. I think next time, she can pay for the fucking dinner.
NEhoo, I just don’t see the point of leaving a tip; they provided me with no service other than preparing the food and that’s what the initial payment is for, correct? They didn’t phone me to see what I wanted for dinner, I called them. They didn’t bring the food to me when it was done, I drove to them. They didn’t wipe my dining room table for me, I wiped it. They didn’t refill my drink when my glass was empty? I refilled it. They didn’t do my dishes when I was done, I cleaned them(actually my girlfriend did but that’s besides the point). So, what would I be giving them a tip for? Hell, they should be giving me a fucking tip. Next time I go to pick up food I think I’ll bring a tip jar with me and waive it in front of their face.
I wouldn’t tip somebody at a McDonald’s or Burger King drive through, would you? Or, how about the cashier at a self-serve gas station? Hell, no. I earned my money so why would I just give it away. Not to get off topic but I also hate cashiers who ask if you want your damned change. Sure, its’ only 15 fucking cents but that’s my 15 fucking cents. Hell yeah I want my change!!

You brought up some good points here.
1) I do not tip if I am going to a restaurant to just pick up a carry out, *unless* they are bringing the food to my car - especially if it is raining.
2) There is a tip jar at the local drive through coffee place by me. Sometimes I will put my change in the cup because I don’t want to add to the heaping mound of nickels and pennies in the car’s change tray. But c’mon. They’re pouring a frigging cup of coffee and handing it out the window. Nuff said.
3) As for waitresses who ask if you want your change when it’s like, 15 BUCKS? That’s even more ridiculous! Only if I’m getting a lap dance, honey.
Tips used to be reserved for exemplary service. Over and beyond the call of duty.
