I was with you until that last statement. I rarely tip less than 20 percent, unless the service is abyslam. BUT If I fax my order in to Bennigans or some other chain restaurant, and then pick it up later. Last time I checked, the chef did not get a percentage of tips, the person at the take out counter has done nothing more than hand me my bag of food. Why on earth would that deserve a tip. They've done nothing to serve me. And I am saving them money, because they don't have to wash my dishes, they don't have to refill my water glass, they dont have to bus my table.
For a tip? They're coming to my house and cleaning the kitchen.
