Only delivery, but not actual takeout where I picked it up.

If I'm picking it up, then no I don't. Now if they deliver or if it's a sit down meal where they wait on us then yes.

No I never give a tip for take out orders unless they are delivered.

If I do a carside to go order-I usually give a small tip. Otherwise-no, not if I am getting it myself.

I think so, but I really don't know. Usually when I order take-out delivery pizza, they never give me correct change, so I just consider that the tip ;D When we go out to eat, and the waiter/waitress is really pleasant, we give a nice tip.

Just when the order is delivered to my door.  The carrier gets a tip.

For delivery and sit-down, I generally tip.  I think I may have not tipped once or twice due to incredibly horrible service.

For takeout, in general, I do not tip.  The only exception is for places, like Subway, where they build my order to specs on the spot, if they have a tip jar and they did what I consider an extraordinary job (very speedy, I gave them a complex order and they didn't miss anything,...I'm feeling in a generous mood...) - then I'll leave some money in a tip jar if one is available.  I found most of these places don't have a tip jar, but for some that do, I do leave a tip on occasion.  For these, it generally don't leave a 10% tip like I would at a sit-down restaurant, but spare change or a dollar - depending on the order.

I typically would tip for pick up orders. Maybe not as much as you would dine in person, but it is a token of courtesy and gratitude for the time (depending upon the amount of items ordered) taken to prepare the food for you. That’s what the tip jars are for.

Do you guys also tip the cashier at Wal-Mart? It makes as much sense as tipping for a take out order. Good for you though.

So if you order food To-Go, do you give TIPS when paying your food?

I think giving a tip for take-out orders is up to the individual.  But, let's think about this a minute, the person who is taking your order and usually ringing your order up when you pick it up is listening to you and making sure the order is correct, so in my mind, that in itself is something I look for.  Additionally, they are being friendly and courteous (hopefully) so again I think they deserve some sort of tip when the order is picked up.  Of course, if the order is incorrect or they are rude well, that's a different story!!!!
