You're at home, hungry and not in the mood for a sit-down dinner. So you call for takeout, wait 15 minutes, pay, grab it and go. Sounds simple enough.
But the question gets more complicated when it comes to tipping. You didn't occupy a table, trouble anyone for a drink, and if everything goes well, nobody will bus your mess. And if you tip for good service, then nothing about takeaway is deserving of a tip.
But others disagree. Strongly. They point out that restaurants are a service industry and the employees rely heavily on the generosity of customers. And while that may be true, takeaway requires no service whatsoever and considering the brevity of my stay in your establishment, I am barely your customer.
Call me an ass, (and you wouldn't be the first), but handing me food and a bill is no different than something grocery store checkers do on a daily basis, without additional recompense. So, to those who feel stiffed, I'm sorry (not really).
