I hope this question is allowed here.

A random cafe asked for 10/20/30% for takeout.

Thanks for all the helpful kind replies:)

It's a hold over from days when restaurant service staff were paid a lower than normal wage and customers were expected to supplement their earnings with a tip. Wage laws have changed and they now earn as much as any other service worker. So no reason to tip for simply moving a plate from the kitchen to your table. This will cover 90% of what they do.
