To be honest it all depends on what you order. Some meals can be put it one bag in two minutes but if you order something like fajitas for two then its going to require a bit more effort and time consumption to get it all packed appropriately. When I did to-go’s I never expected to get tipped the same as a waiter since I was dealing with customers at ten minute increments. A $1.00 per takeout order was pretty much average, $2.00 - $3.00 from the regular after work commuters and anything above that was a surprise.
