Being a frugal person, I get take out to bring home to avoid tipping

Why is that Joel? The one's here offer any coin-any drink, .75 or 1.00
longnecks, etc... That's not too bad. Tip a buck ever other drink or so...

But you can buy a case of longnecks for about .70 each from Sams and take
home though... but you miss out on the smoke and loud music though...

You make that sound like a *bad* thing. ????

Suppose you shop in a store that offers personal service -- you know,
that annoying person who approaches you and says "We have that in
green,
too. Is there anything I can help you with?" If she actually helps
you
find something, should you tip her too? What if she just hovers at
your
elbow? What if it's a guy instead of a girl?

They get commission, so tips aren't needed.


Who says they are commissioned sales? Most retail is non-commission.

Generally the stores where employees stalk you are on commission (that's why
they are staling you, if they weren't they'd be hiding, not helping). If
they weren't on commission I still wouldn't give them a tip because I'm
perfectly happy shopping on my own, and their help is unwanted.

When it's loud mariachi, from my inconsiderate Mexican neighbors,
interfering with my enjoyment of the works of Katy Moffatt, or Beethoven,
then it's a little much.

At a large popular chain in which I once worked, whoever rang up the
takeout had to put it in with their own charges and thus pay taxes on
an assumed tip. We also had to assemble the food, pack up all the
sides, etc.. It was a real pain. Because there was rarely a tip
involved and we had tipping customers to wait on, no one wanted to
ever do the takeout. Often, the takeout was poorly or incorrectly
assembled as a result. Sometimes the bartender had to leave the bar
to assemble the takeout, which resulted in slowed bar service for all.

Don't assume there is no service involved. However, this is not the
customer's fault. Good management can come up with a system that
works for everyone's good. I do tip for takeout depending on the
place, usually about 10%. I like to establish a good relationship
with restaurants I like which results in good service when I return.

How about this strategy: when you go fetch your takeout food,
if it's all messed up as you described, complain to the manager
about the problem; if they don't fix it, leave and don't come back.
Be sure to tell all your friends.
There's no shortage of restaurants.

I CUSTOMARILY DO NOT TIP FOR ANY SERVICE, ANYWHERE -- LIKE 20% OF
AMERICANS. TIPS ARE A *GRATUITY* NOT A REQUIREMENT.

gratuity is up to you and your god.
change your restaurants often, espewcially if you demand they tote on your
whim and fancy.
your server is your friend.

well, your loss, actually
the bread server, the waiter, and the wine server, notice me when i visit
them, and they EVEN give the cook a hard time to make sure i get good
service.

are 20 percentile of americans too cheap to tip, or where does the numbers
come from.
i assume they do not tip their wives, just beat them often.

and then bitch they have to pay alimony.

a chjeapskate by anyother name is -----------------------.
