1. If you don't like the job, you don't have to do that type of job. No one is making you.
2. Do you realize there is not ONE thing even that a cashier at a fast food place does for counter service for no tip does for me LESS than a take-out person does at a non-fast food restaurant? I have gotten *CASHIERS* that's right, *CASHIERS* give me condiments in cups(mac sauce, mayo, mustard), THEM putting it in the cups for NO TIP. I have had a cashier at Wendy's LITERALLY put my burger together for NO TIP what-so-ever. It's UNFAIR if I tip you, but I can't tip that person at Wendy's or McDonald's for doing sometimes *MORE WORK* even. Think about it, if I order a pasta dish at Applebee's, you aren't working as hard as the workers are to do those things I just mentioned, it's true, you aren't. They have an all-in-one utensil bag unlike at McDonald's where they have separate boxes for forks, knives, pepper, etc. That means the McDonald's cashier is doing more work than that Applebee's cashier handing me that pasta dish. It's TRUE, you cannot deny the truth.
Even if I get something more complicated like a burger and fries at Applebee's, I am still receiving the same amount of service that the cashiers gave me. You aren't doing more work, so you should receive EQUAL PAY from the customer. If you aren't getting paid more working the to-go area, then you might want to consider talking to your boss about it or work somewhere else that pays you for your fast food cashier work you are doing, because that's what it is, fast food cashier work.
3. So dine-in customers are supposed to be holier than thou as if they are more important. Talk about just thinking about yourself and how UNFAIR you are being. If you want an hourly wage, WORK AT A PLACE THAT PAYS HOURLY, otherwise, quit complaining if you are making more than a fast food restaurant then.
