Just check that the makeshift “tip” jar at the end of the counter isn’t actually raising money for charity! Lots of over the counter food outlets seem to have these sitting near the checkout to collect loose change. If you get adequate service at such places, think about dropping some change into the jar.

I don’t think adequate service at such places requires tipping – but I wish there was somehow to give a negative tip for the really crappy service you sometimes get at such places!

I mostly agree with this post but I think you should leave room for at least one type of exception.

I used to work as a host at a fancy, sit-down restaurant. While we were not set up to do take-out orders like Outback and Chili’s, occasionally a regular would decide that they wanted to do one. Fine. But since we did not plan our waitstaff for this, it fell to me, the host, to handle the order. I’ve heard that a lot of family-owned, fine dining restaurants work like this.

Yes, I was paid an hourly wage more than the servers, but the duties of taking the order, entering it into the computer, collecting it from the kitchen, assembling it, and cashing it out added to my normal duties and made the night much more hectic for me. In situations like this, I greatly appreciated the tip that I was always given.

I still generally agree with not tipping cashiers and barristas. If there is a cash register in front of you, your job is to ring people up and you dont’ get a tip. However, if someone has to do a substantial amount of work beyond their usual duties (hint: we didn’t have a cash register at our reception desk), I think one should tip them. I still feel this way even though now I’m the tipper, not the tipee.

I don’t tip if I order over the counter, they get paid more than waitresses.

Here’s another common situation. You order food that is served over-the-counter with a credit card, and you’re presented with a receipt that includes the food bill and an extra blank line for you to write in a tip. Property Marbella

hi. I made a couple of bookstore purchases in August with my Citi mtvU Visa card that weren’t awarded 5% back in ThankYou points. I was wondering if I could have that adjusted.
