So Spence, do you tip at McDonalds? I doubt it, I do not tip at D&D but if it is raining or the middle of winter I tip the guy that pumps my gas. You tip for service recieved, not just cause they are standing there answering a phone if thats the case the FAA, Homeland Security, and just about every bank and cingular company owe me some serious coin.

Used hard and put away dirty....

Well, I don't eat at McDonalds

But I believe all McDonalds workers receive at least minimum wage, and are not tipped positions...so it may be a bit odd to slip a GW over the counter to my pimple faced clerk

I don't typically tip for take out, although there are execeptions to that...but tipping for "service" alone is a relative matter indeed. Often the proper tip is higher than the relative service received.

I don't tip for take out anything. People get paid to cook and bag the food. I do tip $1 or 2 for buffet table clearing folks. As far as the kids feeling they are underpaid, at least they have a job! Too many young people feel they should make executive pay when they can't even make change without a calculator.

Ok so here is my opinion.... I have been in both situations! I have worked @ a coffee shop and been a waitress! In the coffee shop industry I feel as though they are looking for a handout because they feel they can....(BullSh*t) but they still milk it! The restraunt buisness well if your server works for their tip then they deserve it I will tip extra (if they do their job) Although I have also left a penny on the table in reguards to YOU SU** and should find another line of work!
