Yeah, this seems to be the consensus. As I’ve aged and have a little more money, I usually throw in a small tip for carry out, if they are putting things together. Not usually for a pizza though.

It’s an interesting debate. Her tweeting was definitely a bad look.

It was a big order but isn’t that what she is paid to do? Hourly?

Even if she put the order in herself and put the food in a bag, would the real workhorses see any of the tip? I doubt the cooks would see any of the likely $100 she wanted them to tip.

I could possibly see the argument that it's poor form because they bought so much food, but I've never tipped on carryout and have never thought twice about it. You're not being waited on, you just pick up your food and leave.

Worked in athletics ops...we tipped for everything. Don’t care where it goes, but when you order 100 pizzas for a team, throwing a couple hundred dollars more to the crew seemed right. Obviously if they delivered, but even if we went to pick it up. Those types of orders are brutal to fill and area businesses usually sighed when we called because while they were about to make a bunch of money, they were also about to have a rough day. 
 

This case was probably a manager making a huge whoopsie. We actually had that happen once and went back to the restaurant and hand delivered a tip. It happens. 
 

Count me in the group that never tips for my own carryout food though.

If it were going to the proper place, I’d say tip. But if it’s going to people who sat around on their phones, no tip. Nothing worse as a cook than doing a massive order and not seeing a single dime while servers are bragging about how much they got(and where I work, servers make very good money hourly).

This is where I stand. If it’s just me with a small order I probably won’t tip or tip a small amount. When I’ve placed large orders or sent someone for large orders I typically throw in a tip. I worked in a restaurant in high school. Large, unplanned, orders absolutely suck for kitchen staff but we were compensated enough that it wasn’t too bad. It sucked for that one hostess that was responsible for getting everything together. It also depends on how well they put the order together.

Regardless, what’s it to the athletic department or coaches to toss in a solid tip for a massive order?

No Im not tipping a large carryout order. That should be figured in the cost. Waitresses probably didnt touch it . Now with sit down service of course leave a good tip especially with a large group.

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

I worked in the service industry for a number of years and would never expect someone to tip for a carryout order.

I rarely if ever tip a carry out

Damn Joe. You’re just not a very kind person. No tipping because “they don’t do anything”, etc. Come on man... I handled take out orders when I was a kid and a portion of all my tips went to the busers and the cooks, but sure go ahead and assume you know everything.

I clearly stated that if it’s going to the cooks for a take out order that big, I’d tip.

So I have kids that work in that industry. They make a base wage plus tips. Around here they make $2.13 per hour plus tips. So if those two added up don’t make minimum wage the restaurant covers the difference. Problem is servers won’t claim everything if they know what they are doing. So basically the server thought she had an easy pay day for throwing plastic spoon and forks into a bag along with condiments and got pissed when she didn’t get $100 for probably less than 10 minutes of work on her end.

I am guessing where they went no. It’s a type of place that the server is the only one that gets the tip. Unless the server shares it. Guessing no by the tweet.

I think the most important question of the day goes to USPS. Which games on which tv? There are some potential great ones today.

If Michigan beats Louisville... I don’t know if any team that’s ever had a start to the season like that. Then they can beat Iowa. How often does a unanimous #1 happen?

I dont get carry out from a place expensive enough to get a tip. I dont tip at fast food but wouldn't get carry out from a expensive steakhouse

Official statement from Georgetown indicates no involvement by Akinjo.

"The allegations do not involve James Akinjo."

Holding young men accountable for their actions is a good way to make sure they aren't jackasses when they are older. I figured in today's world where coaches are constantly criticized (for good reason) for letting their players get away with lots of things that this would be looked at positively. This clearly doesn't rise to the level of other things happening right now, but that doesn't mean that it should go without punishment.

For whatever reason you are adverse to it but I think a game suspension for behaving like they did is an appropriate response and sends a message.

That with a healthy dose of empathy and a better understanding of why the behavior was inappropriate in the first place. I'm a big fan of actions that are corrective and not just punitive.

lol.
Sycamores/North Dakota St start it out for me at 5:30. Kids basketball practice at 7. But recording Butler/Ole Miss, Iowa/Cuse and Vermont/Cincy. They would be what I would watch at 7. At 7:30 Michigan /Louisville moves to the big screen.

Oh Pooh I wanted to ask defense rocks why he brought facts into the discussion. 
 

Akinjo is off limits in my book now. Either he’s involved or he quit on his team. Either way it’s a pass

I'd jump ship if I was on a team full of criminals.  Lumping his name in the same group with one of the alleged criminals was a horrible move from Georgetown.

The cynic in me feels that was a bit vindictive...
