    You can see why I'm torn as well.  When I go to a restaurant that makes me "go to the bar" to pick-up my order, I usually stand there for several minutes.  It's the most awkward place to sit or stand, so I seldom will tip there, but if I see the person who's packing everything up in multiple containers, I'll ...
