Happened to me the other night when I picked up food at a restaurant. I don't tip anything because nobody is providing me table service. But, like yourself, the girl checking me out changed her tone towards me. frick that and frick tipping unless it's delivered or table service
At many restaurants, the people in charge of to-go are relying on tips just like waitresses are, and they’re tasked with putting together the order, verifying it’s correct, making any side salads, gathering condiments, bagging it, etc.
Often times it’s the bartender who is tasked with all that. So they have to walk away from their nearly guaranteed income to take several minutes to put those orders together.
I don’t think it’s necessary to tip 20% for to-go orders, obviously, but tipping something should be a no brainer, because they’re providing a service and mostly aren’t getting paid for their effort by the establishment.
As a former bartender who was tasked with and dealt with all of the above, I would encourage you to consider 10% or so. That’s the accepted “norm.”

Seems fricked up by the restaurant. They should fix that.

Are UberEats, Doordash, Waitr, etc... drivers tipping them? If the to-go people are really in charge of THAT much, then they must be getting killed over the past year.

Yet always leave something out.

So true. They are in the table service business first and take out second, although it has temporarily changed with COVID.
I get take out sushi often. When I show up to pick up my order, there is a dedicated staff for to go orders. They are so busy they look like they are about to have a nervous breakdown. The phone is constantly ringing, and they have to manage the crowd at the front door for to go orders, and the people on the end of the other line is giving detailed instructions of the food they want.
It is not fast food. If they mess up orders routinely they get a bad reputation which is a nightmare for those types of restaurants.
I tip 10% minimum, and 20% if I arrive to a shitshow.
