No waiter/waitress, no tip. No more than 10% at a buffet where all they do is clear plates and refill drinks.

No tip for pick up. Tip depends on performance at sitdowns and delivery.

Absolutely not. Not for pickup. Nothing wrong with being generous but there's no reason to tip in this case (it would be almost like tipping the McDonalds drive-thru person).

I don't tip but when they give me a credit card receipt with a line to put in tip, I feel bad putting down "0".

NO TIP !!! Fvckem all. Just a bunch of preprogrammed shit. I throw down a few bucks. If the service was incredible then 20%.

They in no way are bringing you the food, so I say as well... No Tip. When I go to Dunkin Donuts, I usually tip the guy because me and my buddy go there like every night and I always ask for like 2 sandwiches, so I always tip him. No Delivery... No Tip.

Like picking up food at a non-fastfood resturant (Applebys or Outback or similar)?

I always tip a dollar or two. You should tip if you order there semi-regularly because eventually, they will start to remember you. Bad things can happen to your order if you do not tip. Good things can happen if you do tip.
