Yes, I do, but only a dollar or two per dish. I don't care if they've technically earned it or not - I only get takeout from my favorite places and most of them are privately owned small businesses. I'm happy to give them my money. When a few dollars is the difference between being generous or stingy, I'm more than happy to kick in a few bucks for the easy karma points.
If I'm in frugal mode, I just won't get restaurant food. Tips are par for the course and I won't stiff anyone just to save a couple of bucks.
