Ashley Olsen Doesn’t Tip on Take-Out

Janet Charlton must have had a slow newsday–she’s making a big deal over a claim that Ashley Olsen doesn’t tip on takeout.
She writes:
Ashley Olsen “the healthier looking twin” might be a whiz at negotiating business deals but she has a thing or two to learn about tipping. It seems she has become a frequent customer at Terroni, the hot new restaurant on Beverly. Her favorite dish is the eggplant pasta. Ashley often picks up large takeout orders - over a hundred dollars worth - and, according to our source, she NEVER tips! Does this girl who carries $10,000 handbags think takeout means no tip? Even WE know better than that!
Most of the commenters on this post think Janet is whack. I only tip on takeout when I have random change or the person was super nice or friendly. I didn’t think it was required.
I don’t think that tipping is necessary when getting take out, but that is just me. Now when you sit down to eat at a place and you are waited on someone while you are there, I think that they deserve a tip if they are good at getting you taken care of because from what I have been told, waiters and waitresses get most of their money from the tips that people leave them. They get like $2.00 and then some an hour in my area of East Tennessee.
God bless you and them and Ashley and Mary-Kate always!!!

Here in Australia, tipping in nonexistent.

i never tip. sorry, i just don’t. i’m not rich, so i pay what i have to pay for the services i get. i think that is plain simple.
this is not the first case i read about celebrities not tipping. well, i’d surely NEVER tip her after being this rude.
tipping is essential. waiters and waitresses get paid 2 dollars an hour. they rely on tips as an INCOME. by not tipping you are being VERY rude. They are at work, not volunteering. However, on a takeout order i do not think tipping is essential.
this janet girl…she’s very demanding, isn’t she?
sjs - where i live it doesn’t work like that, waiter are not paid by hour.
Why tip on takeout, they aren’t serving you just giving you the food minus the waiting.
