I do not tip on food I pick up.

McDonald's, BK, Taco Bell, Subway, even local places - I pick it up (well they don't deliver) I don't tip. Sometimes I'll throw the change in their jar.

SO, Sit down places like Outback, Applebee's, DeLuca's (Local), Carraba's, etc I don't tip because they don't deliver and I have to pick it up.

Now places that offer sit down AND delivery which is far and few between where we frequent. If they DELIVER it I TIP, if I pick it up I DO NOT TIP.

Curbside to go is a gray zone. Because they are delivering it to my car in the parking lot. Should I tip? Sometimes I think so and other times I say skip it. What's the rule on this?

Otherwise it's pretty simple really. Some exceptions do apply! If I was to frequent a place weekly or biweekly I would tip because I wouldn't want 'something' to happen to my food...
