It is not customary to leave a tip with takeout

A topic about Tip in restaurants seems to have caught fire. The flame is caused by the fact that the topic owner does not know that it is not customary in the U.S. to offer Tip when ordering TO GO, but it seems that people in the restaurant industry are taking advantage of this and are spreading false information in order to get Tip. It is normal in the U.S. not to pay Tip for TO GO, but it is also a reality that about 10% of Americans voluntarily pay a dollar or so.

If you look up Tip in TO GO on Google, you will see some Tip-hungry posts that seem to be from people in the restaurant industry. I will offer a common sense explanation that is not so. This information is mainly for tourists coming to the US from other English-speaking countries.

"For cafes or takeaway restaurants that do not offer table service, you are typically not obligated to leave a tip."
( For cafes or takeaway restaurants that do not offer table service, you are not typically obligated to leave a tip. )

"Buying food or drinks over the counter doesn't incur any gratuity but you can throw a dollar in the ever-present tip jar if you feel like it."
(Buying food or drinks over the counter doesn't incur any gratuity but you can throw a dollar in the ever-present tip jar if you care. )

"Tipping is not required for fast food restaurants, take-out orders, and coffee houses."
(Fast food restaurants, take-out orders and coffee houses do not require tipping. )

"A tip is for good service (someone bringing food drink to your table, keeping on top of your requests etc.) but with takeout You're buying a product.Its similar to going to McDonalds or Wendy's."
(A tip is for good service （ someone bringing food drink to your table, keeping on top of your requests well for example ） but in takeout you are buying a product. It is similar to going to McDonald's or Wendy's. \fn1})

There is a container for tips
at the counter where you order your takeout
so if you put in a little
they will remember it the next time you go
and you will get better service.

It seems that this person makes his living by desperately gathering information from Google and the Internet every day to justify himself in various topics and then debunking his opponents here. LOL, even people's values and feelings are not on Google, but I guess these people are the type of people who are not comfortable unless they have to tie their answers to one answer.

All the restaurants I go to for take-out are Mom-and-Pop businesses, and in these times of emergency, I give the same amount of Tip as I would if I were eating in the restaurant.

Anyway, Tip is just an expression of your feelings. There is no official way to calculate it.

My husband $ pays $ 5 tip for a 4.50 sandwich.
He gets along well with the waiter, but I want to tsk tsk him for paying too much.
