Hold up....I didn't say you should tiip 8-12% for take out. I said that's what they make at my restaurant. That's right...on average....they get about 10%. And the don't just put food in your bag. They make sure your order comes out correctly. When you arrive, they point out everything in the bag, with all of your modifications to you.According to dude, you should tip them 8 to 12% for putting your food in a bag. How much do people, especially those of you in the "service" industry yourselves, think you should make if the whole tipping thing were abolished, and yes prices raised to compensate for the added expense taken on by the employer?

If you are a good tipper, they'll give you extra rolls for free (you're only supposed to get two for take out, and charge 30 cents each for additional rolls). They'll give you extra sides for free, they'll give you all sorts of extra stuff FOR FREE. If your meal isn't PERFECT, they'll have the chef make it again.
Now if you stiff, then next time they just grab the boxes, and put em in the bag. THey don't check to make sure it's perfect, and there won't be any extra anything. If you call for curbside drop off to your vehicle, you're gonna wait till they have all of their other ducks in a row before they go out to your vehicle.
If you're a good tipper, they'll know your vehicle and automatically bring it out to you without you having to call when you get to the restaurant. They'll take your card or cash, bring it back in, then bring back the slip or change back to your car. All immediately, and very quickly, with an order that's had everything checked to make sure it's mega perfect, with all sorts of extra sides and rolls and what ever else.
All that was needed for that service was a decent tip...like 4 bucks on a 30 dollar order. I don't work and have never worked take out...I'm just telling you all what I see and what I hear from the take out staff.
