If picking up my own plate/drink and wiping the table down after myself was an option, I would take it every time. I frequently drive to pick up the pizza/takeout I order in order to avoid tipping. In fact, many "fast casual" restaurants operate this way: at Panera Bread, you place an order at the front, get your drink cup, and receive a buzzing tile to notify you when the order is ready. Places like this have no reason to include tips.
