Should you tip for to-go orders?
I do declare, this blog entry from ajc.com entitled “Do you tip on ‘to-go’ orders” took me by surprise.
I’ve never considered tipping for to-go orders. But some people — at least in the Atlanta area — apparently do. Here’s a sampling of some of the comments:
Of course I tip for to-go orders. The money usually goes to someone making $2.13 an hour and relying on tips for their wage. I do not however always tip my customary 20% as if I was at the table. One to three dollars is plenty …
Throwing a buck or two in the jar or on the receipt tip line is pure karma. Sure, you can pass it up, but when you’re trying to make a left hand turn across three lanes of traffic, maybe that same cashier or waitress will be the one to let you out….or not.
Is this just a southern thing? Do Miami Valley residents tip on to-go orders? More importantly, should we?
