[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No - I generally don't tip for takeout. [/quote]

Why? It’s often below minimum wage employees who are packaging the orders?[/quote]
In some restaurants it might be but especially during COVID many places are using hosts or people with a higher hourly rate instead of servers making $2.13/hour[/quote]

Okay. But if you don't know, you err on the side of generosity and decency. At least some people do. [/quote]

NP. Where I live there is a higher minimum wage and no separate server's minimum. But I now primarily go to restaurants where I know workers are paid benefits and healthcare. If you are so concerned about food service workers, I wonder why you don't feel the responsibility to seek these places out? But your post really highlights the big issue with tipping culture, which is making customers responsible for the income and well being of food service workers, instead of holding employers accountable for not paying their employees a living wage.[/quote]
