Hey cutie, if someone orders some takeout lunch from you and it comes with a soup, put a fucking spoon in the bag! I can’t believe I gave you 15% for taking my pita from the cook and putting it in a paper bag and you couldn’t be bothered to drop a plastic spoon in with it. Fuck! At least I’ll have some soup for lunch tomorrow, just have to remember to bring a spoon from home to eat it with. Idiot. A napkin would be nice too.

You are truly the unluckiest, most disenfranchised person on the face of the planet. Sweet death would be a wonderful release from this spoonless hell of a life. They should have a special ward in every hospital for people in this kind of situation. No spoon?! Nurse! Admit this man and cancel all my appointments! Why, God?! WHY??
Tool.
I guess you didn’t know. They automatically deserve 15% regardless. It’s their right as servers you know. Even if they are too stupid to put a spoon and napkin in with your take-out. You still have to give them AT LEAST 15%. It’s hard work taking two items and putting them in the bag.
I tend not to tip fast-food or take out folks.
But besides that, what’s the problem with asking, “May I have a spoon with that?”
Or just tipping the bowl up. You can drink soup, you know.
I don’t tip at all when there’s fast food or help-myself-to-the-counter non-service involved. What exactly are you tipping for? Oh, that’s the bitch. Live and learn, OP.
SwampDonkey – those are the BEST soups.
kay – there must be amazing change going on in HRM and NS. i agree with you on that previous post!
Perhaps she didn’t like being called cutie by some dumbass costumer.
Like Swampdonkey says: JUST DRINK THE FUCKING SOUP!
This shit happens all the time. Check your order before you leave, I do! even in drive throughs before I pull away.
They always fuck you through the drive through!!! Ha ha ha – Lethal Weapon I
I would have asked for a spoon, but I believe in tipping when it feels nesscary I always tip at the coffee shop because I feel like I have to.
Why don’t you voice your opinion in the review section. Since you tipped I am guessing the food wasn’t from a quick service restaurant.
or they’re a yuppie.
no tip unless I get more service than simply moving it from one spot to another….. don’t even get me started on beertenders. 50 cents for opening a beer? I’ll drink a la maison thanks.
I’m pretty sure this bitch is about the resteraunt I work at.. Pita + soup lunch special?
I always put utensils, napkins and even a breathe mint in the bag for lunch because I figure most people are bringing the food back to work. However, I wasn’t working tuesday, my friend who just started was. Can’t tell you why she didn’t give you a spoon, but if you know it will be a necessity then you should probably ask if there is one in the bag no matter where you’re getting take-out from.
Holy fuck…”drink the soup”. Some of you are ridiculous. The OP is supposed to sit there and drink the fucking soup like a child/caveman. Seek help people…
