> Of course there is no delivery fee or tip involved for takeout

Plenty of restaurants have added a tipping screen to their POS for takeout orders. Some add it (as a service charge) automatically.

Why tip for takeout?

I tip about 10% for takeout- for one thing the packaging work can be quite involved sometimes and also kitchen staff normall get tips from wait staff. Though this mostly only applies to places that are primarily reataurants, not primarily takeout windows.

First time I've heard this. If you tip often in many places I could understand it.

Why not takeout windows? The folks working at McDonald's could probably use it as much as that local business owner and staff. probably

Thats a fair question, but I think places that were always takeout or fast food type places didn’t base their business model on dine in guests tipping so they don’t need it as much. I mostly want to support local businesses rather than fast food chains. There is some unfairness to workers possibly but also its a line that everyone has to draw somewhere for themselves.

I tip the Dominos takeout window in cash.
