Does anyone tip....

when getting food at the movies (when they deliver it to you while watching the movie)??

But don't you tip someone in a restaurant to serve you? You don't find this to be the same difference?

Re: Does anyone tip....

I would not, I'm willing to bet they get paid more than the 3 dollars an hour I got paid as a waitress.

I have to say, I think all of this tipping stuff is a bit out of hand. I want someone to tip me for doing my job!

I never used the service.
But if they were bringing me my food so I didn't have to wait on the ridiculous line, than I would tip them. Probably $2.

no i don't think it's the same thing. a waitress is paid $2-3 an hour and busts her behind bringing food, drinks and napkins for about an hour. i have no problem tipping her for her service.

someone bringing me a bag of m&ms is not the same thing.

tipping is out of control around here.

I understand what you are saying but there is an actual restaurant in the theater so they are bringing real food, not just snacks.

I have never heard of this before, but I would not tip. I feel like this is much like a bagger at a grocery store or someone distributing food at a ball game.

Do you tip the person at a ball game that shows you and cleans your seat?

I cant see not tipping. If someone is bringing me real food in a movie theater, why not give a buck or 2.
