Mangolia Bakery’s Banana Cream Pie

My sister in law absolutely loved the Jolly Fisherman’s Banana Cream Pie. In fact, every holiday she had at her house, we were asked or more clearly demanded that we bring these banana cream pies. Unfortunately, the Jolly Fisherman closed last year leaving a gap in the food scene of Long Island.

To Tip or Not to Tip

Tipping is a customary practice in many service industries, often seen as a token of appreciation for good service. However, there are certain situations where leaving a tip isn’t necessary or expected. Understanding these scenarios can save you from social faux pas and ensure that you’re following proper etiquette.

Generally Not Required:

• Fast Food: When you order and pay at the counter, and take your food to go or eat it in the designated seating area, tipping is not expected.

• Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs): Similar to fast food, if you order and pay at the counter at places like Chipotle or Panera Bread, a tip is not required.

• Coffee Shops: For basic coffee orders or grabbing a pre-made pastry, a tip is not necessary. However, if you order a complex drink or receive table service, a small tip might be appreciated.
