You continue to show your ignorance - look up the definition, it doesn’t mean “confused”. How cheap to call somebody sensitive after you insult while showing your own ignorance, calling me cheap and ignorant - and why? ...because I disagree with you on how much to tip on pick up orders (smh). It just makes you a d*ck. I take offense because I give A LOT to charity and you know nothing about me. Your attack was unnecessary.

Ok then Mr. Genius - what is the “correct” amount to tip a place when you order a pick up? I want a percentage with a detailed rationale as to why, a compare and contrast against the service you’d get dining in. My expectation is that nobody will be able to disagree with your articulate and enlightened response.

To: fuzzylogic
Type of reasoning based on the recognition that logical statements are not only true or false (white or black areas of probability) but can also range from 'almost certain' to 'very unlikely' (gray areas of probability)

I submit your logic falls into the latter. Almost, not quite, not certain. Ergo, confused.

Now, you are most certainly a d*ck. Or enjoy them on the sly. I'll leave that determination to some "fuzzy logic".

I'm sure you give oodles to charity. Based on your word. It's true. I don't know you. I run with a decent crowd, therefore I'm sure I don't know you. I suppose I'd have to just take your word for the charity claim. Trust, but verify? Nah.

If your order is prepared by a server who is paid $2.31, tips would be appropriate. That is unless your charitable spirit applies to all, including the panhandlers. Which it likely doesn't because you recoil at tipping.

As for your demands for detailed rationale, forget it. Demand from your spouse or your underlings (if you have any), not from others who view your chintziness as a character flaw.

Your earlier claim that your breakfast/lunch waitress loves you and you tip 50% or so means nothing. Perhaps you spend $10 on a three egg special and $5 doesn't hurt your wallet or coin changer. The claim means little. Perhaps you do so to ingratiate yourself to her and continue to get to ogle her pert bosom. Maybe you don't know it and she merely tolerates you and you think she likes you. Here's some reality: servers always make you think you're something special. It helps them get tips. ;-)
