You should tip. Since it is usually the bartender who handles the to go orders, they are only paid 2.13 an hour(in texas anyway) and he/she has to package it, get all your extra stuff(chips/salsa/dressings/silverware etc.) and bring it up to you. Its not quite like mc donalds, because they are paid at least 6 bucks an hour or so. and usually a good bartender will get you something to drink if you are still waiting, and still take care of you, doing all the same things as if you were eating there, the only difference is you take the food out. So that is my opinion.
Ok, I see. But still don't try to give me that "They only make $2.13 an hour. " I know how much they make on average in tips and it's A LOT. I dadted a bartender for a little while and he made really good money.
