Granted that it is true that the person giving you the order does not refil your drinks, or clear your table . . . however much more work than most people think goes into getting an order together. The person makes sure that you get the correct order and rings in your food. Once it gets made, in a busy resturant, the person must make sure they they actually get the correct food from the kitchen . . . not always an easy task . . . they also make sure that any special requests are filled and they also ensure that all necessary condiments/utensils are there in the bag. Furthermore they make sure that the food stays hot. All this so that you can walk in the door hand over payment and walk out the door in the minimal amount of time.
Now granted I don't think that 20% is necessary, however at LEAST 10% . . . .
Yes. I even tip when I have to walk in and get the food from the bar. Pretty sure at most restaurants, it's a standard server, making standard server coin that does curbside.
