Most people don't tip at fast food places, but they do tip when they're seated and a waitress takes their order. However, what do you do at buffets? The waitstaff doesn't really take your order, but they do clear plates from the table. Sometimes, they'll take drink orders, though. Some places don't follow the traditional rules of tipping. Steak 'n Shake has a drive-thru window, but you get table service inside, so you tip, right? You don't tip at Culver's though, even though they bring the food to your table. What about HuHot Mongolian Grill where it's a buffet, but they take drink orders, clear plates, and bring you rice and/or salads? What do you do for carhops at Sonic and A&W? They bring you food, but you order it yourself from a drive-thru type box. Don't forget about delivery people, too. How much do you give them? What happens if you have really good or bad service, or if you're in a big group? I guess I'm just curious about your tipping habits: When you do or don't tip and how much you tip. |

Fast food places don't generally accept tips because they wouldn't actually go to the people who served you. The business would keep them as extra profit. Real restaurants have the right policies in place. I usually tip 10-15% depending on how much the bill is. Regarding delivery boys, it's only a couple dollars. If you ordered a medium pizza and the bill was around $12, you would probably give $15 and say keep the change. That's what I normally do, but I haven't ordered pizza for a long time. |

For fastfoods nothing. Why tip at Sonic's if you don't tip people at drive through? For restaurants I don't do 15% or anything like that. I tip depending on how good was the service and quality of the food. |
