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.

    Low tip for takeout. Usually 10ish%. I’m also a high tipper at restaurants in general, food service in particular is shit work where you’re treated badly and paid garbage. “It’s not my responsibility to pay their employees” always sounded cheap to me. Either you can’t afford it or you’re cheap, if you claim to have any sympathy for minimum wage employees, you tip well. If you don’t like tipping (because you’re cheap or can’t afford it, neither of which is wrong), you push for legal change and don’t punish the fellow worker in front of you.
