Shoutout to my friend who argued tipping 20% on takeout is actually wrong
She said the staff isn't providing the same service as dine-in, so a flat $5 is more fair. Now I'm second-guessing every coffee and pickup order I place.

Honestly, that's a pretty fair take. They're just handing you a bag, not serving you for an hour. I stick to a couple bucks or 10% for takeout, tops.

But what about places where the same person who cooks also bags it up and handles the cash? My local pizza spot is like that. If I don't tip on a big takeout order, that cook is losing out for work they actually did. Where do you draw the line between just handing over a bag and doing real work?
