The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!

Not just a mandatory tip, but not the amounts: 30, 35, 50. I agree with Eric - custom tip $0 and never go there again.
Custom tip to round up to the nearest dollar (I like round numbers) and never go there again.
I will tip between 20-25% for full service (over 25% in certain circumstances), and about 15% at a buffet where they refill your drink.
Counter service/I have to refill my own drink? Not unless I have some kind of super fancy or complicated order going--and there's not a snowball's chance in Hell that I'll tip 30%, much less 50%.
Sounds like a place I'd more than likely never enter, but if I did I'd do the same. Those numbers remind me of the fees and taxes on my electric bill... Jonathan
Slight variation, custom tip $.01 . This is an old trick showing that a) Yes I tipped (the intentional tiny tip shows this) and b) you have thoroughly pissed me off. Also C it basically gets eaten by Visa/Mastercard/Whatever fees.
The thing that really galls me is folks doing crap like this for take out/pick up. A gratuity is given to servers, who, in many states, have a lower minimum wage, as a token of appreciation for their service. And Yes, traditional is 15% in US with 20% for exceptional service or for a large party.
The Tip is supposed to be given at the end of the meal or deal.
'Suggesting' a tip before they fix your order is basically forcing you to tip so you get what you ordered mostly correctly and without any additional ingredients that aren't supposed to be there (if you know what I mean.)
I've stopped going to places for that very reason.

I also tip delivery drivers, but I agree with you on takeout/carryout. Not tipping for that, either.
