Paying Takeout food with credit cards

[bigblue7722]

This thread is kinda a spin off of another thread but is it just me or does anyone elsehate paying with my credit cards for take out? I hate the little tip line that always shows up. If I'm picking up a pizza or Chiense food I don't leave a tip it's kinda awkward. I mean the person did not serve me the cook made the food and put it in a box.

Don't fill out anything for the tip and just re-write the original total in the total line.

That said, I will tip for takeout. Something simple like pizza, I don't, but if I order a restaraunt to go, someone still cooked the food and then someone else had to carefully package everything. I'll generally add 10%.

I only tip on delivery or if I am served in a restaurant. I don't tip for food I go to pick up. Some places around here actually charge extra for takeout containers.

I'd love to pay for takeout with your credit cards if you will let me

But, seriously, no issue. If I don't want to tip then I don't. I don't tip when I pick up a pizza or chinese

I have a question off of this - Does it make me a jerk to write a micro tip onto receipts to make the total even? Is it seen as insulting? I ask because I stopped in at Coldstone the other day and when I was signing for my ice cream, I put 46 cents in the tip amount to make it an even $10 for my total.

These threads, man.

For a bunch of credit card afficionados, you guys seem amazingly self-conscious about how you use them.

I myself have no qualms about paying for takeout with plastic. If it's delivery, I have the tip added into the final price, write a small tip on the return receipt (same as I do in sit-down restaurants), or just tip in cash. If they don't like accepting plastic, they can lovingly eat my most tangy of orifices.
