You stiff a server for takeout then they are taxed and still tip-out other employs based on a set percentage of sales regardless if its takeout or dine-in so they are PAYING to work.

Tipping is and was originally set up for exceptional service. When I walk into Vinnie's Pizza to pick up my pizza that I ordered on the phone and the person behind the counter hands it to me and rings up the register he or she doesn't deserve a 15 to 20% tip, regardless of what he or she is paid. A tip for pushing a few keys on the register? Where's the exceptional service?
The example of the pilot above is getting paid 10x the taxi driver but carries 10x the people, 100x times the distance and has 1000x times the training. Are we suppose to make all employees paid the same by tipping or not?
