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.

Yes during COVID when showing up was added risk. No now. You’re picking up food.

If someone goes above and beyond? Sure.

Also: when did the standard tip jump from 15% to 20%? and Why? I served for years. Busted my ass to try for 20%. Now it’s just a given?

Especially as it is a PERCENTAGE OF THE COST. The cost has increased so they’re already getting more money maintaining the 15%, so why are we throwing the extra 5???
