I absolutely tip for takeout. 10%. The server on takeout duty has to package all the food, condiments, side orders, utensils, etc. They typically are assigned the take out station for their shift, hence do not have the opportunity to earn as much in tips as the other servers.

Takeout is a convenience and the servers have to prepare your order, so at least a small tip is appropriate.
