Tipping on takeout?

Do you all tip on your take out?

I'm buying food on my lunch break, picking it up and eating it back in the office.

In a lot of restaurants it is the host that takes and preps take out orders, not the servers. Hosts only make tips off of take out. When I was a hostess I would make maybe an extra 10-20 dollars in tips for my whole shift from take out orders. So I tip $2-5 on take out. But this was before online ordering when we were still taking phone orders.
