If I get good service, I leave an excellent tip. If I get really bad service, I leave a bad tip. If I'm at a fast food joint, I don't tip.
I tip waiters, and waitresses good if they give me good service. I dont blame bad food on the people serving it, because you are not punishing anyone but the service worker. I will leave a bad tip, regardless how good the food is, if I get bad service.
If I don't get a foot rub, they don't get a tip.
Do what you please, I just get value from my regular places being a known great tipper and even a take out tipper to the register jar.
I don't eat much carnival food prepared by a sweaty guy wearing a checkin mask, so I don't know that I have ever tipped in that situation.
Five Guys is "counter service" or at least the one I was in was. I see this at a lot of counter service places now too. No waitresses = no tip from me. If I have to get my own food and drink and throw my trash away after I eat, Im not tipping one red cent. That guy flipping those burgers aint making a waitress wage and relying on tips to make up the rest of it.
This whole tip thing ran afoul when employers were able to pay wait staff $2.13 an hour, with tips making up the rest of the wait staff pay. It was a great incentive for wait staff to provide faster, better service. Work harder, smile bigger, show a little more skin, you get the picture.
Now, society has become indoctrinated that a tip shows that you are more special if you can afford a bigger tip. The reason I have a tip jar at my festival trailer is because the food is reasonable and good, and let’s face it... it’s free money.

I'm not shy.
If my drink isn't filled, I call out to the wait staff that I want a fill up.
Putting a tip jar on the counter, doesn't change a thing that I do. If the service is what I expect I will leave a tip where ever is convenient to me. If there is no place handy, I will hand the tip directly to the server. If I don't feel that a tip is earned I have no problem leaving.
I bet you've had a few "extra ingredients " in your food more than once or twice at a restaurant
