For those that do not tip when ordering takeout at a sit-down restaurant, consider this: Many restaurants actually have the takeout be for an entire shift that is rotated between servers. This means that for that day, the server has less tables (takeout is considered the equivalent of one or two tables).
So, they have the "joy" of:
(1) Taking the time to bag your order, get your drinks, utensils, condiments, etc.;
(2) Making sure your order is bagged so nothing spills and is according to company specifications;
(3) Having seated customers be upset that their food is delayed because the server is trying to make sure your food stays hot and is ready for pick up;
(4) Losing at least one table for that shift; and
(5) Doing all of this so that YOU don't have to tip because you ordered takeout.
