Even people who have money are pissed about the tipping culture. If I go somewhere and get take out, they don't even have seats to have a sit down meal there, why the fuck would I give a tip? I'm surprised gas stations aren't asking for tips. The constant begging that everywhere is doing is a definite turn off.
I never tip at carry out places.
I do but only because I pay cash and tip the coinage. I often get a dirty look because of it, paying cash doesn't give them the chance to flip the screen and pretend to look away. I used to work in a restaurant and unless things have changed the back of house aka the people who made my food don't receive tips. If I don't like the host I just leave the small coins and pocket the quarters
If they have a host it isn't a true carry out place. I'll tip the host when getting food from sit down restaurants, but not that much. I hardly ever get food this way though.
