Tip to go/carry out order?

Big discussion over this at work. Do you tip when you pick up an order to go?

Usually just a buck or two.

Depends, but usually I do a dollar or two. My wife believes it should be the standard 20%, but I say that's only when you are being actually served and bussed. Throwing food in a bag and taking my money does not equal big tips.

Yes but I always check the bottom line first. Some restaurants automatically add a gratuity on to go orders.

It depends on the place. If it's the sort of place that doesn't usually "do" takeout & they give my order extra consideration (decent containers, some cutlery, any necessary condiments), I will tip generously. Standard sort of takeout place isn't getting more than a dollar or two.

I usually tip a buck or so. But I only tip at restaurants -- there's a little store in my neighborhood that makes po-boys and hamburgers and I don't tip there. I figure all those people working there are making at least minimum wage and the person working the cash register would take my tip, not the guy flipping burgers.

Yes, usually 4-5 bucks.
Someone preps that stuff.

Most of the time I do, especially if at a bar and grill type of place that I go to often

10% is the proper gratuity on to go orders. The hostess a lot of places is responsible for making sure everything is as ordered and stocked with the proper additions and utensils.
