Brees recently made Internet news (somehow) by tipping $3 on a takeout order at Del Mar Rendezvous, a Chinese restaurant in San Diego. The receipt with his tip and signature were leaked to "The Dirty," where he was ripped for being a "cheap [expletive] ... this is basically saying [expletive] you to the waiter."

Brees responded by defending himself on Twitter.

A discussion on takeout tipping on the website Serious Eats showed people were split on the issue of what you should tip when picking up takeout. Most people said a few dollars are nice, but not expected, like when sitting down and having dinner.
