A Starbucks, Dunkin-Donut, etc. gets $1.00 and any change that came with the order. If there is a takeout counter (like at a deli), it is $1-3, depending on how much I order and what is self-serve. Delivery is $1-5, depending on amount of bill and distance. Strangely, I've even been known to tip at a fast food restaurant like Burger King if the person taking my order or delivering my food got me to smile or just generally feel good.

Do you realize the worker at Burger King can get FIRED for accepting tips, huh?
It's not ANYMORE work AT ALL than the fast food cashiers give for counter service. Also, WHY reduce the tip for a to-go order at Dunkin Donuts just because it's not a sit-down restaurant? That's tipping in a UNFAIR manner. Why not tip the same for the same work, huh?
If you are a Starbucks and just get coffee, do you realize McDonald's cashiers do this for NO TIP NOW?
Take-out should get NO tip, that's what is *FAIR*!!
