Epicurean Evaluations Emit Entertaining Episodes of Expressiveness

Today I'm going to start off with tipping
Not this kind of tipping...

and not even THIS kind of tipping

I'm talking about tipping at Restaurants.  In general, I think I'm a good tipper, at least better than average.  Heck, I even tip at Sonic, which a lot of people find silly.  But that's about as far as I'm willing to take it.
I always wonder about tipping at buffets.  I mean, they bring you your drink most of the time, but not always.  Other than that, they just bus your table.  Do you tip the same?  Less?  I mean, I'm doing most of the leg work here, let's face it.  But still...I tip.
However, I hit my limit the other day.  Why...WHYYYYYYYYYYYY am I supposed to tip on a To Go Order?  To make it worse...my problem was at a take out buffet order.
TAKE OUT BUFFET!!!
If you have never gotten a take out from a Chinese buffet.  Here is what they do for you....
they hand you a to go box to put food in.
That's it.
So I put in my food to take back to home and go pay, I leave the tip line blank.  Actually...I write a line through it so no one adds something on their own.
The cashier looks at me like I'm the anti-Christ.  I mean....I may be, but not because of this.
The next time I go back, he "jokingly" says I must really like the food, and "you pile high right?"
No, I even showed him...why I have no idea...that I didn't even use all the little preset compartment thingys they have on there.  Like he's thinking, not only am I not tipping....but I'm taking advantage of the buffet or something I guess?
Meanwhile Bluto and his "wife" Sasquatch have 3 plates each piled to the ceiling walking through the line and asking them "when yall bringing out more pizza??"
Because we all go to Chinese Buffet's for the pizza.
But some of these places....woooh, they take their Buffet-to-go Seriously
a little too seriously.
Ever heard of an overfilling charge??

Holy Egg Rolls with Duck Sauce!
Do I have to promise these people half of my Powerball ticket??

 

Until next time,
