Do you tip for a takeout order?

If you’re paying 15 dollars for a haircut, that 15 dollars isn’t going to whoever cut your hair. It’s going to great clips and that person is making minimum wage plus tips. Supplies are nothing but overhead is.
These people handle my food when I'm not around, I want them to remember me as the best guy ever. I also never send anything back.
No but I dont tip anyone because it's a stupid concept
I feel like that should be between them and the place theyre working, as it is in every retail establishment.
I also remember when the line was basically that at restaurants youre billed for the food and you tip for the service'. Well when the only thing purchased was service, such as for a haircut, then it seems like tips shouldnt be expected.
The only place I really do takeout from is this Chinese place that only does takeout so I tip them up. Otherwise I always give something.
Except most servers don't want that. They make more in tips (cash - often unreported) than another $5/hour would be worth.
I know two guys (males) that work medium-end places (not even super expensive) and would routinely clear $100-200 in a night in tips on weekends. That works out to something like $7-8 bucks an hour, and you don't pay tax on say, half of it.
are you my dad? seriously, if you get HP service at an upscale restaurant, you got bad service. Honestly, the places I hate tipping 20% are the medium chain restaurants. I'm not crazy about giving the Outback Steakhouse server $30 for serving 4 steaks and 4 beers.Where, I'm happy to give the HP server $10 for 4 dinners, 4 drinks. But at an upscale restaurant, where I have multiple courses, maybe multiple alchol drinks, and the server and their water server pretty much waited on my and three other tables for 2-3 hours, yeah, they earn their 20%.
That’s apples and oranges IMO. Might also be the fact I have never ordered that much or sat anywhere that long.
I paid $15 at a local family run shop in Marion. Well that was until I stopped going because I figured why pay $15 a month when I can buy a good trimmer for $45 or less and my wife can do it on our own schedule. Have been doing that for 7 years now.
Maybe it’s petty but I also don’t like the ability to escape taxes on tip income. We all have to pay taxes so you should too.
I don't get take out very often, and have never tipped when I did, but I can see where a couple bucks would be alright. Also see the part about the person at the window for Wendy's is pretty much doing the same thing.
It's kinda like tipping when you go to a buffet. If they come back and refill my drink then I will do something, but not 20-25%

Well there’s nothing stopping you from getting your own cash only jobs is there?
I’d consider myself a pretty generous tipper in store, but don’t tip on take out for a single meal or simple dinner for the family. If I’m doing a large order with a lot going on for a family or company gathering I’ll tip them good for dealing with the large order and hassle that goes with it.
Haircuts are the one place I am an extravagant tipper. I just go to Great Clips/SuperCuts and always get the $10 coupon or prepaid cuts card and tip the $6 back to the haircut woman because literally every time for the past nine years it has been a a tattooed single mom working 20 random shift hrs a week and half her weekend while the kids are in school and/or shuffled between grandparents/relations etc....I'm grateful that wasn't my childhood/kids' situation so I try to skimp the franchise and give the money straight to those women.
No. My stance is that if I order or pick up my food at a counter, no tip. If you bring my food to me, you get a tip.
I tip for a haircut, but that's about the only service that I do regularly. Furniture or big deliveries I will tip if they are careful and don't track dirty shoes through the house.
That's about it. Tipping is getting out if control in this country. Just add 15% or 20% to the price and pay the employees properly.

The tips wouldn't make it to the fry cook anyways. They don't let hoks run the register, they're prone to stealing.
It's hit or miss for me... Honestly it's another big reason I do like hickory Park as they just take the guessing game out of it and x out the tip spot.
The one thing I hate most are the places that definitely shouldn't have a tip spot on the receipt but they do so you feel awkward... I think coldstone's receipts print like this and I never thought that should be a place that would get tips?

I agree it should be, but it isn’t. Short of some nationwide revamp on a multi billion dollar industry, that’s the way it is. That was me at one point and now I have the ability to spare a few bucks, so I do. Call it a cost of eating out.
