A tip at a buffet is less then a full service restaurant,

We tip for service. If I drive out to get it, I don't tip. When I was younger, I did both. Carry out was not full service. The food has to be prepared regardless. If you want to make a tip, you work at a place that gives full service and THEN, you give GOOD service for the tip. You don't get a tip just because you waited on me!

You don't get a tip because you "smiled" I do that all day long and don't expect a tip.
I completely agree with this 100%!! I know that they didn't have tip jars back in the day at Subway or Pizza hut for COUNTER service, this is all NEW. If it was OK a long time ago, it STILL should be OK. Tipping shouldn't just all of a sudden change, what's next people will start tipping for all fast food, seriously, then stores like walmart, for real, tip jars are getting out of hand. I worked at a donut shop/diner where I was counter help about 10yrs ago, which of course I wanted tips, but I NEVER EXPECTED tips for drive-thru or to-go orders, because that's fast food work, nothing more. I don't understand WHY people EXPECT tips for doing fast food cashier work when those people aren't getting tips, why should anyone else doing the *SAME EXACT* JOB, HUH?
