There's a bar near my house that my wife and I order take-out from fairly often. 95% of the time I'll call in the order from my house then drive down to pick it up. I always have to wait a few minutes while they put it together and I usually just sit there and wait for the food and pass on having a beer while I wait. Then they bring out the bill and there's the subtotal with a very large are that says "Tip". It always feels like I'm expected to leave a tip. Since it's usually the bartender or waitress that takes the order and brings out the food, tipping them is almost a mindless reflex. But when I order from a pizza place and pick it up I don't tip the cashier so why should I feel like I have to tip at the bar if I'm just picking up take out?
What do you guys do when you order take out from the bar? And don't tell me to drink a beer while I wait - unfortunately that's not usually an option!!
