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."

The only way to deal with the stingy Japanese is to raise the price of the restaurant.

I haven't had Japanese ramen for a long time.
I usually go to a Vietnamese bakery for
pho （ phở ） and bún bò huế （ and
take out and eat it in the car ）.

The restaurant here doesn't have a container for tips
so I look to see how other Vietnamese do it
no one gives tips so I do the same.

＞ Since they are so pissed off and say they don't tip,
the only way to deal with the stingy Japanese is to raise the price of the restaurant.


Tipping is not money that goes into the owner's pocket, so raising the price is irrelevant. In general, a bad restaurant that steals tips from employees and tells cheap customers not to come here will be finished if they raise prices. Please keep raising the price.

So, I wish all the bad restaurants, the bad vice restaurants, the restaurants with bad waitresses, the restaurants with servers who are overtly disgusted with poor service and low tips, the restaurants that serve bad food, the restaurants that serve leftovers, the restaurants that serve stale food, the restaurants that have bugs and hair in their food, the restaurants that have poor sanitation, all of them would be gone.
Then I wouldn't have to go in by mistake and feel bad.

It's not easy to find such a strange place, though. LOL The posts are too negative and scary.
