Chinese Takeout Chicken Wings?
I grew up in New England, and when I ordered chicken wings at a Chinese Takeout place, I would get the crispy ones with all 3 parts attached. When I moved down here to Texas, I tried ordering chicken wings and got these wet, nasty, excuses for wings. They were separated like Buffalo wings and were coated in this nasty sauce that tasted like they were MSG flavored. Does anyone know how to make the wings I grew up ordering? PLEEASE! I will love you forever!
Do you tip for take out that you pick-up yourself?
There's that infamous line for tip on the credit card slip, and I feel guilty if I don't put something there. I'm a generous tipper for table service, but never sure about take out. Is someone dependent on that to live?
And then, there's the opposite - food delivery. Do all have a delivery charge? I know the driver only gets a portion. Is your tip based on the bill, or per trip?
Are Carry Out Tips Optional?
I found the discussion on delivery tips to be interesting. I want to be fair when I tip - not too little or too much.
Here's my question. We've all faced signing a credit card slip for carry out where the proprieter has helpfully left the "tip" and "total" sections open for us to fill in.
So, what's the etiquette? Tip? If so, by how much?
Thanks!
