You did your job, and you expect a tip for it. If you delivered it to me (either at my table, or at my home), I'd tip you, but since I had to come get it, you get NO tip.

Ahh, I think I'll just stop with the comment reading here and giggle my dear. Everyone's idiotic comments and lack of experience can go sit in a locked freezer. (:

To #59: how about people who do earn more than the minimum but also work hard for it? I think its's BS that you just decide that richer-than-the-lower-waged people do not work for their money. To the OP: get a different job if this does not suit you? Like it has been said: tips are always in any case optional, and there is no way I would tip for a take-out.

when I worked as a server/bartender, we made $2.13/hour. we relied on our tips. those that have never worked in the industry should STFU. it's hard work. don't believe me, go get avjob in that field. I no longer work in that field but non-tippers and those that complain about tipping should just keep their asses at home.

snickers is right, in Zimbabwe, one US penny is $40,000 in their money. Too bad the dollar value sucks serious balls or you'd be ra-ra-ra-ra-ra-rich.

nice gut. put a shirt on, no one cares about your post pregnancy body.

#59 Opal thank you! Many don't understand. I bartend and deal w/ alot of togos. Anal people w/ their extra mayo on the side, no onions, cooked well done but not burnt BS! I make $4.22 an hr plus tips. Taxes are taken out so my paychecks are around $30 a wk. I realy on tips. I am not worried about educating people. Most of you are young and will probly need a jobs in the service industry to put your self though college. Then you'll truely understand

At least you got a tip. There are a lot of places where you don't get tips. Also at first I thought you were going to say that it ended you being a prank.

This is why I hate the fact that there are two Federal minimum wages. No, I have never been a server, and yes, I understand it is hard work, but, seriously, why should I have to pay you extra, on top of the money I just spent on my meal because you did your job-that you are paid to do? I should not have to feel obligated to leave you extra money because you were nice to me. It is your JOB to be nice and courteous and provide we with service. Likewise, if I feel that I have received inadequate service why should I still feel obligated to tip the waiter? If I were paying any other service person to do a job for me, and they did it poorly, I would refuse payment until it was done correctly and in a courteous manner. I work as a receptionist--do I get tips for politely welcoming students to the center, or helping them sign the waiting list, log into computers, pointing out the beverages on the back wall? No, of course I don't. If I didn't do all of this politely, I would probably get fired. Servers should just get paid minimum wage and not get tips or at least only get tips at the customers' discretion. Yes, I tip, but only because I feel obliged to and I know that makes up a large portion of their income. No, I don't tip well because I myself have very little money, which is why I don't eat out often.

I personally work in takeaway and I think that people who dont tip are absolutely ridiculous to not tip. What they dont realize is that most takeaway get paid $3/hour or less. and unlike what everyone is saying, Most employers WILL NOT fill in the rest to make it minimum wage so to assume that is preposterous. Personally I have had several customers order and not tip consistently. What people need to remember is that WE DO PACKAGE YOUR FOOD and with that in mind, whether you get a glob of spit mixed into your honey mustard, or some dandruff parmesan cheese is at our disposal. you do not want to piss of the people handling your food. becuause Tipping is EXPECTED, because the GOVERNMENT taxes us on it reagardless on whether we recieve one at all. we are taxed on total sales! you dicks!
