re: Is tipping primarily a learned behavior?

I have aquestion. I worked in the food biz all through college and always tip a good percent depending on service. Lately though my wife has been on me about tipping on takeout. Her point- your not being served, cook cooks it and boxes it after you call and you drive burning your gas and pick up the takeout box from a bartender and walk out. I see her point but was curious at to what other readers thought?

I generally don't tip takeout. The hostess that gets your takeout is getting paid normal hourly wages.

Depends on the place/situation. Alot of times when I order takeout, it's from a small mom and pop place or a bar. Those people know me and most of the time it is a waiter/bartender is who takes my order, boxes my food, etc. So my order is taking them away from doing another task that they could be getting real tips on. Why wouldn't I leave a couple of bucks.
Now picking up a pizza or something like that, no I am not tipping.
