Was it really? The exact same question? Do you remember if it came up before or after I posted this thread?

If I'm getting in my car and driving to the restaurant to pick up my food, why the hell would I tip? Would you also tip the cashier at the grocery store for ringing up your order?

19 out of 79 people drop money on tips that have no reason to exist other than you paying more for a service they get paid a fare wage for in the first place.

Damn... I don't remember off the top of my head, but I want to say it was a little before. Either way, it was right around the same time.

The Asian sensation strikes again... with increasing frequency, at that. Are you back on a computer?

You're a cheap bastard, that's all you really needed to say. I pray for the day somebody says "we're outsourcing our marketing to proforma!" and you're stuck behind a counter. I'll break my rule and be sure to stiff you on the tip.

I just had to go back to the well. Law of Diminishing Returns, IMO, which also sounds like an unfortunate name for a ladies' romance novel taking place in a courtroom.

You speak as if it's bad form not to tip someone who just has to put your order in a bag. I've known plenty (PLENTY) of people who've worked the service industry and have been stuck in the to-go section. Many of those places split the tips between the servers and it includes the person at the window. I'm not dropping an extra 15% tip if I have to do the traveling to pick up the food. It's absurd.

If you want to tip them, fine. That's what you want to do. You shouldn't, however, berate those that don't because you believe it's the right thing to do. Thing is, it is subjective. I don't believe it's fair to assume I'm going to leave you a tip for an order I have to pick up. Putting an order together really isn't hard to do.

You tipping for a service you're already paying for doesn't have any. Stop outsourcing intelligent thought and try it yourself.
