If I get good service, I leave a good tip. That's not going to change.

The job isn't any easier on a $10.00 meal than a $30.00 meal. I will tip upwards of 50% (or more) on a small check if the service is good.

I agree but I do tip differently for different things.

1) Sit down wait service ,depending on service 20% or more.
2) Take out where I order it and walk in and pick it up maybe a a dollar.
3)Take out that they bring out to my car and wait on me there 15%
4) Pizza or chinese delivered to the house ,$3-5

I also tip guys who come and do work at my house .

You can now. You can order your meal as a text message for a specific time and it will be there.

I know alot of people here in MA who will just leave the change as a tip if its around a dollar or so. Ive witnessed this in many regions of the country, including when i have visited Maine.

So the answer for Mcdonalds is some people actually do, its only about 10% if your getting a $10 meal, but they already make min wage i believe as its not a place people "normally" tip. I assume this probally raises their wages a decent amount.

Did not know that Ole Ronald doesnt allow them to collect tips. Ive always assumed that the leftover change gets taken by the employees as a tip. Eating at McDonalds is not worthy of a real tip, but i just figured the employees kept it at mcdonalds... but i guess i made an ass of u and me.
