I usually tip maybe 5-10% for takeout. Primarily because it's my way of making sure my money goes to local folks who need it and it will help the local economy and it might take time away from serving tipping dine-in patrons. When COVID was hitting businesses hard, we upped our tipping substantially. But I think it's time to go back to normal.
