Today, I was doing takeout orders at the restaurant I work at. I spent a long while putting together this guy's $135.00 order. When he finally got there to pick it up, I told him to fill out the credit card slip. I looked at it after he left. He gave me a 40 cent tip. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
Today, I was waitering at the restaurant that I work at when I collected a credit card bill that was worth $120 and a big zero on the tip line. Angered, I turned to a co-worker and said "I knew this asshole wasn't going to tip me." The guy was standing right behind me with $30 in his hand. FML
Today, I ordered take out, and paid with a credit card. The cute cashier gave me the receipt to sign, and under 'tip' I gave a couple of dollars. I realized that I had given too much, crossed it out, and changed it. Unaware she was watching, She then responded, "Did you just lower the tip by $1?" FML
Just the tip
Today, I went into work to waitress on a table of 40 guests. They were my only table for the day and the bill came to over 700 dollars. After they left the busser was cleaning the table and threw out the credit card receipt which had my tip on it. FML
Today, I was working in a restaurant. On the receipt under "tip" someone actually took the time to write out "$0.00." FML
Today, at work, 5 minutes after I'd sent my help home, we got an 83 dollar order. I'm the only cook. FML
Did I teach you NOTHING?
Today, I ordered pizza for dinner and left cash by the door so my son could pay for it, in case it arrived before I got home. I told him they should get all the money, but I just found the tip. Apparently he thought I'd miscounted. I'm a server. FML
Today, I went to a restaurant and only brought $14 with me to eat. I ordered and ate my meal, then went to the counter to pay for it. I threw $2 into the tip jar then got my bill. My bill was $13.86. I had to reach into the tip jar and take my $2 back so I could pay for my meal. FML
Rules are rules
Today, at work, a man bought a lot of really expensive stuff. He paid the large bill with cash, and the manager helped me count the money. When we were done, he handed me a $100 bill to thank me for all the help. We can't accept tips. The manager was next to me. I had to say no. FML
Sharing is caring
Today, my parents came to the restaurant I work at as a waiter. After, I picked up the check to realize they had left me a $500 tip! We split the tips among the employees so I only got $50 back but I was still psyched. When I got home they asked me if I had noticed that they used my credit card. FML
Wealth
Today, after about 8 hours of working and making huge orders, I received my share of tips. It was only a quarter. One single quarter. FML

most people i know don't leave tips when they order food to go, i guess coz most of the work put into it was done by the cooks, not the waiter/waitress. or something like that.

What a cheap prick. 15% for a good job, and 10% at the very least. Douche bag, whoever you are, if you read this out of coincidence, I hope you get kicked in the nuts.

People people people. What servers make and all that is irreverent. You're tipping them because they waited on you, checked in on you, etc. I'm a big tipper, so I'm not taking a stand against tipping, but if I get takeout, I'm not tipping. As has been mentioned before, what you did for me there isn't any different than what the person at McDonalds did. Why even stop at food? The cashier at Target totaled my order, took my money, and then bagged my items. Would you tip them? Do you really expect people to be aware of, inquire about, or give a crap, if you make server wages or cook/cashier wages? The tasks you perform for me don't change either way. You're essentially saying that if the manager rings me up and everything else it should be one price, but if you to it, it should cost me an extra $5+, and on top of that, that I'm a jerk for not psychically knowing what you make? If you make sub min wage server money, and are put on take out, I'd suggest taking that up with your place of employment, because THAT'S the problem. You're being paid a wage based on the understanding you'll be placed in a "tippable" position, and you're not being placed there.

Here's the rest of your tip — don't expect good tips. Don't expect it to always be there, simply because it won't.

I have never tipped on take out orders.. only waitresses and delivery. I used to work at a chinese restaurant where I waitressed and made up take out orders, I never got tipped for take out orders, and I never expected it either...That's like tipping someone at McD's... it just doesn't happen. Big deal, you put my food in a bag... but I came to pick it up...maybe you should tip ME.

You probably took way too long to make it. You didn't even deserve that 40 cents

if you want a tip, do a decent job. If your a shitty server I'm not going to tip you at all. Also, you shouldn't be tipped for takeout, it's ******* takeout. Should we tip people at burgerking and mcdonald? **** no. Also, to all the waitors/waitresses complaining about not being tipped, how about you find another job. it's not my fault that you aren't intelligent enough to work somewhere that atleast pays minimum wage.

YDI: You should not get a tip for putting someones food in a bag. If that was the case then I should tip every time I go to McDonalds.Or you probably did something that made you deserve a crappy tip. People that should get Tips: Waiters/Waitresses Taxi Driver's Busboy's Stripper's Prostitute's (Only if its exceptional service) Card Dealers People who dont get tips Bartender's (Unless they have nice cleavage) Crappy Waiters/waitresses ( You dont refill my drink you dont get shit) Ugly stripper's Smelly Prostitute's Poeple who put your food in a bag Now maybe if you took my food to my car, Followed me to my destination, and served the food then you would deserve a tip.

This is why cooks spit in your food, waitresses gie you bad service and bartenders ignore you. If you cant tip, dont go out!!
