When picking up food at a restaurant for take out, whether pizza or something more fancy, do you give a tip? I feel cheap with I put down $0, but at the same time they didn't do anything to earn the tip.

Dont feel bad Steve, If you pick it up, no tip.
The only time that I tip is if I wait for the food and they give me water, tea, etc.
If it's just in and out, then no under most circumstances.

if i get exceptional customer service, then yes. however that rarely happens with takeout, so typically no.

If it's an actual restaurant and I'm just picking the food up, I will tip a little bit. Mainly because the cooks usually get a cut of the tips and they still did the same work whether I ate there or not.

No!
i never tip for takeout... it took my gas money to get there, im not paying them for walking it out of the kitchen!
delivery i do 15-20%.

Nope, delivery or eat in only gets a tip.

I wouldn't in your situation. My wife loves to order in, as call them up and have them bring you food. I don't really like this because it means we eat crap and are too lazy to get the crap ourselves. I tip when they bring it to us and pretty well in a restaurant.
I have a friend who worked in the food service for a long time and paid bills with tips. She has a good job now and makes decent money. She tips everyone all the time. She sees it as her way to give back. Whatever floats your boat.
