I was going to try a new pizza place tonight, but the lady was so rude and tried to hurry me along so when she asked "is there anything else you want?" when I asked if they had a limited time only pizza yet I saw in an ad, I just said no thank you and walked out.
Chinese it is.

So... I feel like I am quite good "friends" with both TacticsLion and Captain Yesterday, though I've never met either man.
And yet... jokes about naked hugs and minors?
Just a little too far, methinks... a little, too, far.

Well, tonight's going to be a true test of our relationship with Rivoli.
NobodysWife is feeling awful, and is on a mostly-liquid diet.
Chef Wendy makes the world's most amazing soups, and has a risotto special this month.
So yeah, I'm going to try to do takeout. From a formal French restaurant.
Hmmm...

who mentioned minors?
Well, they have all that digging equipment and are shifty as all get out, so I always assume they're, like, right underneath me at all times.
I am reading that thread and laughing and crying at the same time. Where does CY derail it?I have decided that any thread in the rules forum that has the word "adamantine" in its title is going to be just as bad as a fallen paladin or alignment thread.
I give you Improvised Adamantine Clubs, which is shaping up to be just as dumb as the Adamantine Dagger thread.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really wish my user base would have some IT problems right now. The only cure for this stupidity is a different brand of stupidity.
That was... pretty entertaining.
(I totally get the guys arguing, though. I'd probably have been right there with them, were I not oblivious/out of time, yesterday.)

If anyone can get away with it, you can. If they are uncomfortable, offer to sit at a small table, order, then ask to have it to go as "leftover". And treat the server normally.

Uh yeah, I realize Lynora looks young, but Tacticslion I know is only ten years younger, and I'm pretty sure you're at least a few years older than me.
I'm sure how exactly I work into it, but I haven't been a minor for many a moon.
Still flattered though.

That's actually a really good idea. It all depends on who answers the phone, and whether I use my last name.
They kind of know us, so I *know* that if I pulled the old, "Let me talk to your manager" bit I'm sure we could make 'em bend over backwards for us. I just don't like doing stuff like that. I'd rather just say, "Hi, my wife's recovering from surgery and would really love some of Wendy's amazing soup. Would it be possible for me to pick some up?"
I have yet to encounter a restaurant that won't do that for you.

Aw!
Can you at least linky the thread that got you the smack-down, or does that violate some Paizo policy or other?
(Believe it or not, I have yet to receive an infamous Chris smack-down, no matter how hard i've tried. Yeah, she's deleted my posts, but no personal threats at all. What fun is that?)

I *really* wanted to suggest an infinite wealth-gathering opportunity by going out, gathering tree branches, and selling them as greatclubs at halfling weapon shops.
THAT might have brought the old Chris ban-hammer down on me...

Ah, the wonders of driving a crappy old car!
I was going down a far-too-narrow street looking for parking. A car came the other way, and we couldn't fit past each other. I tried to move into the space between two parked cars and, sure enough, scraped the side of the Prius against the front bumper of the parked car. (I take a lot of pride in having not hit another moving vehicle in 32 years. But somehow I just loves me to scrape against parked cars. Seems to be in my blood.)
The parked car? An old junkheap. I couldn't see the damage I'd done from all the other damage that I obviously hadn't done. It was pretty hilarious -- the car had scrapes and dents the entire way around it. There was absolutely no way to tell whether or not I'd done anything to it. My car? A 1996 Prius. Who cares?
So I got to move on, guilt-free, because both of us drive crap cars that we don't care about.
Woo hoo!

The other side is three generations of environmental and civil rights activists, teachers, a comedian, a TV producer, and CGI specialists.

Gaaaah!!!!
I still HATE tipping!
So, you go to a restaurant that doesn't normally do take-out. They make a meal for you. It takes them 5 minutes, and the maitre'd just picks up the bag from the kitchen counter and hands it to you.
Do you tip? How much?
On the one hand, it took no effort whatsoever from anyone other than the cooks. Do the cooks get a share of the tip if you tip on a take-out order?
On the other hand, tipping is so expected that you wonder what happens if you don't tip, even on a take-out order.
U.S. tipping is just insane. Even us natives who eat out all the time have no idea what to do in some situations.

It's now 9:40PM in San Francisco, and I have to get up at 5AM to catch my ferry to the North Bay for class. So of course I just mixed a double-and-change gin and tonic and scrounged up some gummy bears.

In my experience, it's so hard to figure out because there isn't a set standard. It varies WIDELY from restaurant to restaurant. I've worked a range of service jobs from franchise bar-and-grill to mom-and-pop to music venues with bar service to more upscale dining, and some places the waitstaff tip out the kitchen staff, and some places all tips are pooled and everybody gets a share, and some places whichever waitperson helps you when you arrive gets the togo tip, and in other places tips from togo orders get put in a separate envelope that is mainly for the kitchen with a bit for the hostess. And if the manager/owner is particularly venal or just has a nose that continually needs powdering, they just may pocket it and tell you to keep your mouth shut.
If you really want to know, you quietly ask the one (and only one) person you think is most likely to actually tell you and not awkwardly clam up that you would really like to know because you want to do right by folks, and if a manager is not within earshot, they may tell you. But might not.

Tip culture is very different in the UK, I never tip on take out, we tip in restaurants but I heard its typical to tip a lot more in America.
One of my friends didn't tip and then got chased down the street when he left whilst on Holiday in Florida. Which is ... I feel like it should just be a surcharge on the bill at that point.

Did the directions include both hands and a flashlight?
Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnno. Why would you need a flashlight? Why would the pirate?

I do. Every time it's an option. I always aim for 20% and then round up to the nearest whole dollar amount.
Whatever happens thereafter is everyone else's business.

I've... never actually heard of that happening.
What happened to your friend is... weird, to say the least.
Regardless, Tipping Etiquette Guide.
Note it's not in-depth.
Part of the uncertainty, I think, is generated by the fact that no one in particular helps you more than any other (unlike they do when you sit) - leaving you with no particular target for your generosity -, yet most all receipts in restaurants automatically print with a "tip" line (generally for ease of use and legal reasons, I'd hazard, based off of organically developing custom).
Anyhoo, I just use that 20% rule no matter what (though I use precious few "tippable" services beyond food). It's easy, simple, and I haven't found anything that particularly demanding higher than that anywhere (though some upscale restaurants come with 15%/20%/25% lines for your convenience).
EDIT: here is one a bit more nuanced-ish
