This has been bugging me for a while. You order over a phone/business website, drive to the restaurant, pay at the counter and pick your order. The only service I get is the well packaged food (if your lucky). But while paying, server turns the screen (which is on the tip page) onto me and I feel pressured to tip for just a well packaged food. Should I tip here? Btw I tip anywhere between 12-20% on a dine-in and deliveries(Uber eats/DoorDash). But for togo’s, I’m not sure what make sense? What do you guys do? Tc: 200k

If in my neighborhood and/or regular: Yes Else: NO
Can you explain why tip in your neighborhood and not elsewhere?
My guess is he’ll repeatedly go back to the same businesses. In that case the tip is literally a de facto bribe for good service.
15-20% for dine in. I see that as paying for the service, cleanup, etc. however for to go, I rarely tip. What am I tipping for? Nobody is serving me or cleaning up after me. I’m paying for the food and that’s all I get.
You have a point.
Tips are for table service, not for takeout or self-serve.
I dont care what others do. Long as they dont guilt trip me for not tipping takeout
No tip for takeout I personally dont understand tipping by % for uber deliveries. Is it harder to deliver more expensive food? The amount of labor is equal unless I order a lot of servings at once.
My college-aged son, who Dashes, says "They should tip based on miles from store, though. If you're 10 miles away, you gotta tip decently. But if you're around the corner you can get away with a 2-3 dollar tip with no problem"
Yes because I'm not a cheapo and the tips generally will do them more good than me

Yes : 10 percent
People pack your food, ensure your order is correct, make sure you have condiments/utensils, and hand you your order. This stuff doesn't magically happen. In restaurant diners are not the only people who are provided a service.
TIL: people doing their jobs correctly = magic
