I think it's reasonable to add a couple of bucks if they put together a nice bag with napkins and utensils for you.
Isn't that what they're supposed to do, though? I've never considered tipping for take-out. That seems like tipping your McDonald's cashier.
I'll usually do a buck or two for takeout. I don't think it's required though.

Well, sit down servers are supposed to bring you food, but you tip them, dontcha?
I tend to tip at the take out places I go to a lot, like the local sushi restaurants.
I should clarify. For me it depends on the place. If it seems like the person doing the take-out orders is a bartender or wait-staff person, somebody who normally gets tips, then I throw in a buck or two. But I don't do it for a fast food place.
I just had an awesome flashback of my first date with this one guy in college, where he tipped the concession stand at the movie theater. He was a bartender, and nervous. Cute.

Yes, but tips are part of their wages, right? I really don't grok the whole tipping thing. It seems like there are way more people to tip than I would have considered. Seriously, what is the difference between tipping for take-out and tipping a McDonald's cashier? They ring you up and hand you your food; it just happens to be better food at one place.
Whenever I got a tip from someone coming in for takeout, I was pleased and grateful, but I never expected one.
I tip a delivery driver a buck or two, but not if the restaurant charges a delivery fee. Unless the weather is hideous. Then I am very, very grateful.

Aww...
