Do you tip at Jersey Mikes or Subway?

[SheHateMe]

If I have to get up to order and retrieve my food...you don't deserve a tip. You did nothing.

I have noticed that sometimes when they know you are a tipper they do treat you better.

My girlfriend goes to the same Starbucks each morning. She does tip them and they do tend to offer her discounts when she doesn't ask for them or they will give her an extra free topping on her drink or if they ever mess anything up they will redo her drink and offer her a free one on the next trip.

But I still don't tip if it just a basic order.

 

[Tiamat]

no tip at fast food joints

 

[Krazy4Real]

nope

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

I don't. Maybe I should? Would it make me a better person or someone that isn't careful with their money?

Fast food, me never, wife, usually.
Buffet, me sometimes, usually 10% or zip.
Full service, always, but not much over 10% unless something amazing happened. Wife tends to tip more if I am obnoxious to the server, but they love it.

I don't tip franchises.

 

[ch33zw1z]

I don't tip at places like Subway or Jersey Mike's

 

[Svnla]

Pick up the food yourself to go = no tip.

Someday I'll check out Jersey Mikes. Not too many here in NJ - but there are a lot of local places to get awesome subs.

 

[TeeJay1952]

I ALWAYS try to help those who wait on me. It is better to help those that are helping themselves than to blindly give to charity.

What is considered doing a good job at Subway?

Not really much different than doing a good job in any other trade.

i dont get tipped for my job, and i make sure youre not walking in sewage on a daily basis. i dont tip at fast food, or buffet jobs. i do tip at strip clubs and sit down, full service restaurants.
