8% pickup, 10% shit service, 13% passable service, 20% amazing service

I'm close to this. Though I will caveat that for pickup, I rarely tip but the people there did something great I will do up to 10%.

For truly terrible service (the kind you leave, asking how that person even manages to maintain employment there) I will not tip at all to make a point.

Simply crappy service gets 10%. Most get 15%, and if it was great service I will do 20%. I've even done 25% on extreme occasion, but that's truly knock-your-socks-off-make-me-feel-like-a-king service.

Who are you, and what have you done to killramos?

I also had to look twice as to who posted that. Maybe he's moonlighting as a cowboys shots girl this week?

5% for pickup at non-chain restaurants, and 10-15% at sit down restaurants, 20% max.

There was a time when I used to stress about tip amounts and makings sure that the server got something that they were happy with that I could afford, but now I think they are just want you out at whatever percentage so they can seat someone else and get a percentage from them. Quantity of tables > Quality of service.

Pho take out gets paid in cash for discount and any change <$1 coins is tip.

I have a lot of friends who work in the industry and it’s a shit job that pays badly.

This is a common misconception IMO.
As a bartender (5 years) I usually left with ~$250-$400/ night in tips, add in my $8.90 minimum wage and I was making close to $40/hr, most of which you didn't need to claim.

Bartending was easy mode for cash.

Are you talking about a restaurant, or a bar.

Not really the same thing.

Servers, car salesmen, realtors. All useless middle-men that get in the way of a product and make your experience/purchase more expensive.

I rarely eat in restaurants anymore so my tipping is 0.

Something something, server hands me machine with tipping option on take-out... Something something, uppercut.

Both technically.

I've never worked the industry, know people that have. I just don't like the idea of tipping in general so that skews my view on it.

What about other services, massage (not your rub & tug places ) hair cut, for example?

Being in the industry I just always tip but that’s me. 10% on takeout is my standard. But honestly it’s no big deal if you don’t. Don’t over think it. It’s Saul good man.

I was at fat burger the other day and the machine prompted me for a tip.. and I couldn't even just hit enter to skip it. I had to either select $ or % and physically enter a 0... jesus christ its fucking fast food

[mr2mike]

I'd like to see proof that there's tip outs on fast food.
Technically it could be calculated but also no incentive to do so. All goes back to franchisee.

[suntan]

Every fast food outlet sans McDs seems to have a tip option these days.

What riles me right up is the sequence:
A) Server hands credit card machine to me.
B) "So are you guys up to anything else tonight?"

I hear that question almost 90% of the time I dine out. Get original, make a connection out of the gate. Fack! You're on autopilot... Then so am I... Zero!

That "sooooo any plans for the rest of your night?" line has become very predictable over the past few years. Guaranteed to hear it at a Joey's or similar type restaurant.

There was a guy at my local liquor store who did that in the most robotic, insincere method possible. For some reason, it made me unreasonably angry.
He was a human performing as self-checkout.

Tipping on takeaway? Nope.
Tipping on tire service? Nope.
Tipping on buffet? Nope.
Tipping at bottle depot? Nope.

Y’all are too generous, 0 tip on take out. What’s next? Are we going to start tipping realtors too?

lol yes to the above. It can get carried away and end up tipping everyone. I think you just have to decide who you want to tip or not and if certain places annoy you with the tip function, just don't go there.
