Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

    German here, I don’t have to give anything.

    If I am enlighted by service, or the food was really nice I tend to give 10/15%. Mind I am poor and expensive meals are like 45€, so giving 50€ for a good service and evening seems fine to me :)

      Hate to break your bubble, but no man is poor who eats takeout for 45€. Thats 4x the price of an expensive meal in Hungary. We are talking about countries with similar grocery prices.

        Don’t mind the pop :)

        The poor was more refering to my ability to give a tip and the range i can do it with. (And I would say poor, changes from country to country?)

        Expensive dine outs like this are rare (sadly) The regular meal out in my region is between 8-15 € Home cooking is far cheaper

        How is the range in your area in Hungary

        My last grocery shop without expensive stuff for ½-1 week was 45 € which was ruff 😢
