Tip cup protocol

[gonores]

OK, how often and how much should I be tipping in these tip cups they have a restaurants where they prep your food right in front of you (Qdoba, Subway, Quizno's, Chipotle are a few examples off the top of my head). Up to this point, I've taken the Mr. Pink philosophy of only tipping for extraordinary service. I'd say I've had ~500 meals in places like these since I started playing poker, and I've tipped $5 once, $2 maybe 10 times, $1 20 times, and pocket change 100 times. Am I a dick?

Sorry if this has been discussed before. I tried searching for it.

nothing.

I have no idea how much you should do but I can tell you that you are tipping more than most do. Thus as long as you aren't going around hiring friends as P.A's you are probably not a dick.

I once asked a person that worked at a local video place who gets the tips. Their answer: "I don't know." I doubt the employee is actually getting the tips at Subway, either...

Im a very genereous tipper and even I dont tip the subway people. Should I tip the guy at buger king, and the taco bell guy too? [censored] that, there is no difference between the two.

I agree tip nothing. Tipping is so weird. These people or the ones who make espresso drinks do so much more work than dealers or bartenders.

You been walking down state street a little too much i think.

I was with you in this regard, until I worked at a theater snackbar. I tell you man, realizing that my amount of tips for the day > $10 made me unexplicably happy. So now I try to spread the joy, and usually toss in any change I get, and if not that then a dollar.
