Let me start by saying that I am always a generous tipper, giving at the very minimum 15% for the poorest service I can think of but typically 20-25% for good service. I tip waiters, bartenders, delivery people, etc. I worked in the food and service industry for probably 6-8 years on and off as a waitress and bartender. I rarely got tipped on take out orders. If I did, it was usually from a regular customer or on an order that especially large.
Its been about 4 years since I've worked in this industry so I'm looking for guidance. I can't help feeling, lately, as if more and more places EXPECT you to tip on take orders. No one has come out and said anything.. its more of a feeling I get, or a look from them when I slide the receipt back to them. What do you think?? Do you tip on take out and, if so, how much??? Also... am I crazy or has it become a more recent development??
