[Open Question] A few questions on ambiguous tipping situations... TalesFromYourServer


Hi, quick question on some tipping situations -


1) How much do you tip (if at all) at places where you order at the counter, pay first, you then seat yourself, you get your own water (or you're handed your soda/juice when you ordered), and a food runner makes one trip to bring you your food and condiments?


2) How much do you tip at pho places where the convention seems to be that you order from your table but you don't really have a server - one guy takes orders from every table, if you're lucky there's a water refilling guy on duty, you serve yourself napkins and "silverware" from the bins on your table, the food runner dropping off your pho is the only trip they make, and you go up to the counter (usually to the same guy who takes orders or the owner) to pay? Also, does anyone know how tips are split at places like this?


3) Do you tip when you "eat in" at a Chinese takeout place where, again, they just drop off your food once and if you get a drink at all, it's self service from those Coca-Cola refrigerators and you bus/throw away your own styrofoam plates on the way out?
