Hi no we didn't eat in.
We ordered online(whist in a queue at magic kingdom) and chose 2 meals then added the 2 free meals. Paid online and went to olive garden where they have a pick up area inside lobby. All quick and decent food. This was at the crossroads area.

I don't know enough about the workings of a kitchen but do the chefs plate the food up and then someone has to take it off the plate and box up, or is it placed in the box directly by the chef. As I mentioned I don't know the answer but would think to save labour costs, washing up and time it's the latter.
If so then what's the difference between that and what happens in a fast food outlet such as McDonalds |

Even if the chef oouts it in a disposable container, the wait staff gather, condiments, and extas like rolls and may put a salad in a take out container, add cutlery and napkins and do up drinks. It's not as much work as waiting a table, but it takes time away from doing that job. I don't think 29% is warranted but a small tip is in order and appreciated.
When I piick up takeout at my local seafood restaurant, I appreciate that the servers recognize me and as I walk in the door go get my order and pack it up. Edited at 05:23 PM. |

Would I go out of my way to leave a tip when I’ve ordered takeaway food, no, never. Only time that would happen is if my order came to $27.95 and I paid with $30.00, I’d probably just tell them to keep the change but an actual tip, nah.

We normally tip around $10 which works out around 15% of our bill, however if our server isn't very efficient and we have to sit with dirty plates or they don't refill our drinks when needed, we leave less. From past visits I seem to notice the locals leave alot less more like $3-5, I think us brits are quite generous as a nation.
