Waffle House is an interesting example for me - it's one of the few establishments that outright declares on its menu that all food prices already include sales tax. Yet you still have to tip your server, of course.

But then, if you order take out, that's either called in or ordered in person, a pre-detetmined "tip" is applied to your total, in essence a fee for takeout that is evenly distributed among the staff.

But *then,* if you order takeout online, not only are you subject to the takeout fee, but sales tax is applied to the prices that supposedly already include sales tax! What the heck?
