What do I have to do when your order takeout? Pack your food. I mean if all I had to do was really just bring the food to your table, and then wipe it fine, don't give me a tip. I would be cool with that, and some people do get take out then I move all the place settings and they just sit down. Sometimes I'll still give them water. Although then I have to clean up after them and they're pretty much always messy. But I'm fine with them not giving me a tip for that or at them for doing that.

Since I get the same salary for doing less work, for those that do not tip, please order take out?
My team also whinge about doing work - especially work that they believe could have been avoided. I do point out to them that if it weren't for the work, they wouldn't have jobs.
