Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.

US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

    It really depends on what you’re talking about. If it’s dedicated counter staff no. If it’s waitstaff that is on waitstaff wages(as in a waitress went to get your food), maybe. The former should actually be having a competitive wage to employ them. The later were hired on with the expectation that they work for tips. Counter staff getting tips that they don’t even share with back of the house is kind of dumb.

      Pretty much the same for me. If it’s basically fast-casual or microwave-warmups like Applebees, only if it’s a complex order.

      If it’s someplace where the food is actually, cooked and it takes time and skill? Certainly
