Do you tip on “to go” orders?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I have a question regarding tipping- specifically, tipping the cashier when you pick up an order to-go.
The reason I bring this up is because recently I went to a local Chinese restaurant and saw the tip jar at the front counter. As she handed me my bag of food, I felt a bit compelled to put something in the jar. I mean, isn’t she entitled to a little something for her work just like the waiters and waitresses?
I just feel like people who work in the food industry work so hard and have to rely on the generosity of the public to help them pay their bills.
And just so you know, I did put whatever change she gave me from my purchase into the jar. It was the least I could do. What about you? Have you ever noticed those tip jars and shared some of the wealth? Or in times like these when money is tight, do you only tip those that actually serve you at the table?
