    I never tip when I order food and pick it up at a counter. Not only fast food (when I eat it) but also at places like Fadi's and Luby's.

    I always tip when I order food and it is served to me, including Dim Sum places.

    Just to remind you later on when you cleaned out your wallet, why the hell you paid $8 for a sub and a drink.

    "HEY, Jerry. High five. High five."


    But anyway, you can put a line through the TIP line and just write the total. They better not charge you MORE than what you wrote as the total.

    You're the one spending $6.37 at Arby's. Methinks you have no room to talk. :)

    BTW, got your message today. I don't currently have a phone, so if you need me, call the home #. If you don't know that, call the fiancee's phone. And oh yeah, you suck at fantasy football. ;)

    This is a growing phenomenon that gets on my nerves. I'm used to getting 2 receipts when I pay with a credit card -- the receipt and the CC slip. I wish they'd consolidate but fine. But, some places, I get 3 receipts. Blockbuster will give me 4 slips of paper -- 2 receipts, a coupon and I think an ad of some kind. And the grocery stores; they only give me one, but it's 3 feet long. I keep my receipts in my wallet, do you know what those grocery stores are doing to my pants pockets?

    It's a conspiracy by clothing designers to get all us men folk to carry Man-Bags.

    Fashionable AND functionable.

    Can't help it. I'm addicted to the Sierra Smoked Turkey on wheat. If I knew what the sauce was that they use, I could make my own at home.

    BTW, what do you guys usually tip vallet guys when you pick up your car?

    RMT, you mentioned Luby's, which got my attention. Are the Luby's in Houston doing what this bizarre one in SW Austin is doing? They now have no ice tea ladies (or gents), and a person with a red shirt or blouse comes over to your table after you've gotten your own food, tosses a plastic card with a name on it on to the table, and announces that, "I'll be taking care of your table... tell me if you need anything." All they do is what the ice tea ladies (or gents) did, but I think they expect a tip. And the credit card receipt when you pay now has a spot for a tip on it.

    LUBY'S AIN'T GETTIN' NO TIP FROM ME!!! :mad:

    That's too funny. It's one step up from a "Bootleg video street vendor" asking for a tip.
