I never tip for anything, ever. Not my problem.

This is a weird thread.
1) Tip food delivery (pizza, etc.).
2) Do NOT tip if you are picking up to go.
3) Tip if you are served at a restaurant.
4) Tipping the checkout person at the grocery store is silly or showing off or stupidity or something.
5) Tip your barber.
6) Tip the skycap.
7) Tip the cabbie.
It is inappropriate not to tip wait staff. They make less than minimum wage because a tip is expected. That's just the way we do things in this country. You can't just say that the restaurant should pay them more. Restaurants work on a VERY slim margin, and if they had to pay the wait staff more, your bill would be noticeably nigher.
Do you still tip the person who brings your drinks to your table when you order the buffet at a restaurant, and if so what percentage?

My tips use spoken words. Therefore they are verbal. They are not a contract or associated with the law. They are advice. So suck it.
Despite her XXX name, Sally Vixxxens doesn't do oral! Can't you get that through your thick head! Sheesh!
If there is a tip jar, or a line on your POS receipt for a tip, then tip.
yes, OP, i leave a dime or quarter on the counter and say "thanks for the effort, bitc*". try it, you'll get good service next time

I don't tip anywhere, anytime for any reason. F*ck 'em. I've eaten in first class joints with a bill well over $100 for two people.
How much does it cost to eat in a regular joint in your town?
Yes I tip a little bit because frankly I'm not broke and people will remember you and take better care of you because they know you tip... if you're known for not tipping I hope you like spit on your food...
Tipping is why America has the best service in the world.

I think tipping is a part of the food preparation industry. That being said, the answer is that a tip should be offered. When you are picking up the carry out the tip should be on the order of ten percent (versus 20 percent for dine in and 15 percent for delivery). I also think it is fully appropriate to tip your grocery store clerk at check out. I typically tip the grocery store clerk 10 percent of my bill.
Good start but you overplayed your hand, sir.

Educated people know difference between oral and verbal. Fake Sally might be trailer trash.
always tip on takeout so you make sure you get all your food the next time. I tip 15% on take out.

When I order takeout and go pick up my food from the restaurant there is a tip jar and a line on the receipt for tips. Why would I tip them for printing out my receipt and swiping my credit card?
Uneducated dumb ask.

It's crazy that this question even has to be asked.
Tipping is for good service. There is no service in picking up take-out! If I wanted service I'd eat in, or I'd have it delivered.
When I don't eat at the restaurant, I'm not using their space, drinking their water, occupying their wait staff, or dirtying their dishes. All of those things save them money, but the food I pick up and take away costs the same as if I had eaten it there. To add a tip on top of that is really crazy.

This is definitely a gray area, but yes, I do. I would bet half the people don't do this though. The only buffet I regularly eat at is a Chinese one (probably once a month), and it's $8. I always leave a dollar on the table for the woman who brings the drinks (this is a place I go to with a friend of mine, so he and I have separate checks), so that's 12.5%. Seems about right for that.

Ok. Thanks for responding. But what if you're eating at a family-owned restsurant, and the server is either the owner, or a child or sibling of the owner and the owner is wealthy? Personally I have a dilemma leaving a tip under those circumstances, since I assume the server is taken care of in other ways because he/she is "family".
I never tip for anything, ever. In other words, I give the same tips that I get for doing my job.
