[Good Cheer]

Just use cash.

I've heard that before, can't quite get to the root cause, as Christians and humans, we eat out all the time, just something about noon Sunday that causes this over expectations.

In Texas, it is a bit more complicated. The wait staff are paid $2.85/hour. If the wages plus tips = Federal minimum wage ($7.25 I think) then the paycheck is minimum wage plus tips, if not then the minimum wage is paid. That way the wait staff are at least guaranteed minimum wage. Good service and tips become a huge part of the service mindset.
I don't mind paying the food bill with a card, but, as often as I can I tip personally or just leave it on the table. I try to tip more than 30%.
I agree, if they are handing a bag of take-out food over the counter and no real wait staff service comes into play, I do not tip.

restaurants are probably the number 1 brick and mortar place where your credit card information will get stolen to be used for unauthorized purchases.;
much prefer to pay atm fees to get cash before going into a restaurant than take the chance that I'll have to go through all the headaches of getting someone else using my credit card/debit card info.
