Years ago I went to Outbacks "Curbside Pick Up", which is basically
Outback to go. You call them up and place your order and they have it
ready when you get there.

So I park the car, walk up to the window and this chick hands me a bag
of food along with a bill.

I look at the bill and there is a 10% "take out" charge and a 15%
gratuity. A just over $100.00 check is now over $125.00.

I ask her, "Why does it cost me more to take this home than it does to
eat here"? She says, "that's just the way it is"
I say, "so you get 15 bucks for handing me a bag"?
She says "no, it's for my tip"?
I say "you get tipped for handing me a bag"?

She looks at me like I have 3 eyes.

I told her, If you can give me one good reason why you deserve a tip,
I'll double it.


Fuck that. I'm with you.






Now she looks at me like I have 6 eyes.

She could have told me it was a long walk from the kitchen, or told me
a joke, or just made me laugh and I would have given her the 30 bucks.

She tells me "that's just the way it is, everyone just pays it". She
says if you don't like it you can leave.

I told her to keep it, and walked away.

PS: Do you tip the guy at the burger king drive thru?
