The hostess isn't doing you a favor taking your call in order and handing you a bag. She's doing her job which she has a specific wage for, a wage that is not based on tips.

Hmm, I have been thinking about tipping bartender's less, and waiters more, recently. My roommate is a bartender, comes home with like $250 a night, drunk, and a girls number. There is no reason why that mother fucker needs $250 to have a good time for a night. Bartending is rarely a very skilled job either.

YellerDog, are you going to continue doing that?
That's different. In Texas, hostess jobs are not payed the same scale as waiting jobs, so that's good to know if I'm ever in Cleveland. Then I'll leave a big tip.
edit: I really do think it's important that whenever anyone's travelling outside their state that beforehand they should research tipping for whatever state they will be in because people paid a wage based on tips need those tips to survive.
