The tip space is on every receipt by default. Obviously you can ignore it. If I don't feel like tipping I sign it really quick and look hurried or distracted and leave the tip field blank and don't total it. Makes it appear to be accidental.
The reason why you should tip at Olive Garden, Chilis, etc is because the person that is giving you your food is the one that puts it together. They aren't just handing it to you, they usually take your order (on the phone) submit it, box it, give you all of the things you need and take care of the bill. On top of that, consider that during the day they are making less then they would if they were working a table and if they are not tipped it's going to be a really shitty day. It doesn't have to be a huge tip, but something is nice. They are basically doing everything that they would normally do, minus giving you drinks and refills... although sometimes they do offer you a drink (for free) at places like Chilis and Applebees if you have a wait.
I used to not tip for takeout until I met a girl that was a server and she told me how it all worked. Now I do.
