Now subway is asking for you to tip when checking out, as if there food isn't already expensive enough. What is your thoughts on tipping fast food places and take out orders?
The reason I tip in restaurants is that we are being served at the table by someone who checks on us regularly to see if the food is good, if we need anything else, and cleans after us after we leave. This is not the case at fast food joints, where you take your food to the table yourself and you clean after yourself at the end of the meal. I hate to see tip jars in coffee places and other joints where you pick up your order at the counter. There is no “above and beyond”. Folks should stop (or not even start) tipping in fast food places, it’s creating the false impression that everyone deserves a tip even if they don’t really do anything special.
