Yep, I've generally been tipping more when getting carry out since the pandemic began. Even before the pandemic at full service restaurants I usually would tip as if I were eating in the restaurant. For quick service/counter service places I typically would not tip. I still don't tip for fast food places even though tip jars have proliferated everywhere. (I even saw a customer facing terminal present a tip option at a gas station in Tahoe the other week for a convenience store purchase!)
