How much tip do you leave for take out?

I freaking hate how the tip line is staring u right in the face when you sign. You feel like a cheap asshole. But, I rarely tip on takeout unless its a big order.
Thank God the liquor stores here don't have those.
I always fear the "staff" is gonna write in a tip bc I leave it blank.Last edited by Ellsworth; 07-31-2013, 10:18 PM.

You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

The one that annoys me is at the TCBY frozen yogurt shop.
I have to swirl my own shit in the cup, add my own Butterfingers pieces ... and they have a fucking tip jar at the register?
And then the cocksucker in front of me leaves a buck and I get tip-guilt worse than all the white-guilt about Predator up in this bitch tonight and have to pony the fuck up!!!Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.

It's one of the things that bothers me, the tipping expectation in our society. I haven't traveled to Europe in quite awhile, but my understanding is that tipping doesn't exist over there because the workers are paid normal wages.
Around here...christ, it's everywhere. The tip line on a receipt at takeout...I hate that. I don't do much take-out, occasionally Chinese food, and I see no reason to tip when you're picking up the food. I'm pretty sure the people up front and the cooks are not being paid $2.00 per hour like servers. Basically, I'll tip on takeout if I get there and my food isn't ready yet. If it is, forget it, and I don't leave the line blank, I draw a slash through it to make sure.
But yeah, tips are now the norm at the barbershop (I don't remember that growing up at all), at coffee shops, etc. Christ, I'm half expecting my doctor to have a jar out the next time he tells me to turn my head and cough.
I get around tip jars by just never carrying cash, but it's hard to avoid the receipts, or the asian barber lady who just flat out stares at you and asks you "how much extra" as she is running your card. Sometimes I wish I was more of an asshole about this stuff but I pretty much always give in.

I was amazed in France when I went out with some friends of my wife who live there.
They saved us a shitload of money letting us stay at their place for part of the trip so we took them out for a very expensive dinner.
I was getting out money for a tip and the husband (who is retired and very well off) saw me leaving 20 percent and he adamantly said that leaving 2 euros was a very nice "extra" for the waiter, even on a large check.Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.
