She's already wrong. Does she know you?

Who prepared the food? Was it warm? Was it contained?

So what about you guys? Do you tip on carry out? Feel free to answer either way, I won't call you cheap or anything.

You are most correct sir.
I usually tip 25% for excellent sit down service, 20% for sit down service that is decent, 15% if it is lacking, and 10% for carry-out.
