It has NOTHING to do with out of date logic. It has to do with how things REALLY ARE.
You should get to stiff the server, because at Burger King you stiff the cashier for your to-go order, same thing, no difference. That's *FAIR* to stiff since you are doing that for the cashier at Burger King.
I would gladly tip both if we were allowed to tip both as long as my service would be good, but since we can't, I won't be an UNFAIR TIPPER! What wages they make per hour means NOTHING to the service that you are receiving.

I'm not saying it's the patron's responsibility to make up for the lower wage of a Server. I am saying they work for tips, that is the agreement. You want to skip the full-service part so you can enjoy the food and the convenience and the Server has to suffer? They don't HAVE to let you order take-out. It is an added service and convenience to do so. When you order food from them and take it home, they still at the end of the night have to PAY a portion of their sales to the busser/bartender/hostess AND pay taxes on that. Cashiers don't because they aren't setup for that. It's an added bonus and a privilege for a full-service dining restaurant to let you take their time and resources away from their dine-in guests and they should have to pay for that?
Sure, your logic is Servers are doing the same work as the cashier at Burger King (which you are still wrong - they do much more besides the fact that you are taking them away from their 1st priority - dine-in guests) but your opinion of how much work they do doesn't matter when considering that their purpose of operations is NOT for takeout.
So when I go to the Barber and get a $12 haircut and leave $3...by your logic, if I go to a salon and and pay $40 that a $3 tip is adequate? Get outta here.
