Just learned that a friend of mine always tips 10% on takeout. Ive never tipped on takeout unless they offered me a water/soda while I waited or something.
US biased, but I’m a little curious about other countries as well.

No, because tipping culture isn’t a thing here.
Same. They’re trying, tho. Restaurants often ask me to punch in the total before paying. I consistently go for the sum that I actually ate for.
Some taxi drivers/companies do the same. I’ve started only using those who don’t.
Until people outside the service industry have the same opportunity to get something extra, tipping culture can fuck right off. I’ll gladly keep paying more for my meal if the waiters etc get decently paid.
This. I’m happy with weekend surcharges, so long as that’s going to the staff being paid properly. If you want staff to get paid better, do what literally every other workforce does and bake it into your business.

What? That’s such a slow way of doing it!! The ones who try it here just have an extra screen like the receipt yes/no screen.
If they’re going to start making you do data entry that’s awful.
No tipping culture where I live either, but there are a few places - especially in tourist heavy areas - where the EFTPOS machine will ask if you want to add a tip before you put your card in. Just about every place I’ve been the server will hit the “0%” button for you before handing the machine over if they can tell you are a local
I think that’s called bonus pay, I’ve just never seen a job that actually gave bonus pay.
