I think that depends on the restaurants. I really question whether chains (like McDonalds) can even be called a restaurant, and anywhere that uses a warmer for food is pretty low down the food preparation scale. I live in a City/Country where we take eating out seriously, and where tipping is optional. In essence, no decent meal/service = no tip, and probably never returning to the same establishment. Places using a food warmer would expect little to no tipping at all. I am a decent cook, but I would much rather eat out, and it doesn't have to cost a lot for a great meal.
