Basically if the person serving me is doing more than ringing me up and handing me my food I will consider a tip. If they just come, like at Culvers, and plop a tray of food on my table, I'll usually skip the tip. IF perchance they bring my food and do something extra like bring napkins, straws, or say "is there anything else I can get you" I will consider a tip. If their attitude if very helpful and pleasant and I've got some change or small bills in my purse they'll get a tip. Otherwise It's not PLANNED for so they're not expecting it. I will occaisionally tip the bag boys at my grocery store on my side of town. This is because they will regularly take the groceries out for you. I've had a few practically insist on carrying a single grocery bag to the car in the rain because they knew I could use the help. They get a good tip when they show inititive and concern for the customer. I have actually skipping tipping a waitress at a restaurant because the girl was snotty, dirty looking, and had long nails with brown (yes brown as crap) nailpolish that she accidentally stuck into my spagetti sauce. Not the type of service but the quality of service is what I tip. You EARN your tip - I learned that LONG time ago when I waitressed.
