I thought tipping was for waiters who actually wait on you, not just take your order and hand you a box of food. This whole tip jar thing which is spreading across America is getting out of hand.

I tip a dollar or two per meal for takeout because the servers and others are still busting their butts for not a whole lotta cash, and it's tougher than ever for them and the restaurants to make ends meet. They're sure not eating a lot of prime rib...

But it seems to me that there is little or no real butt busting involved in handing you a box of food at the counter. If in fact servers are underpaid and cannot make ends meet they can take it up with the owner who can then pay them more and raise his prices, or they can quit. Capitalism 101 at work. Charity begins at home, not in restaurants. Should we also donate to seemingly down on their luck beggars? I think not, as that only masks and exacerbates the underlying problem.
