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.

Name somethings then? I don't know ANYMORE they do?
The "THEY" you are talking about is the OWNERS and that has *NOTHING* to do with the service that they let us get take-out. That concept has ZERO to do with the person serving me. WHERE do you get that it does?
If they work for tips, they know they are *RISKING NOT RECEIVING ANY, that it is a *GAMBLE* when you work for tips, DUH!!
That doesn't mean the customer has to pay them anything. We aren't LEGALLY LIABLE to do so.
Cashiers are at Subway, Quizno's, and Starbuck's, all places I do not tip, but accept tips. McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, KFC, and Taco Bell don't have their cashiers accept tips.
What does what they have to tip out have to do with the service either? If you know this and STILL STAY AT THE JOB ANYWAY, that's YOUR ISSUE, NOT OURS. WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH TIPPING OUT OTHER CO-WORKERS. That's your issue as an employee. The service we are receiving doesn't magically change because you have to tip out.
The dine-in guest shouldn't be first priority, they should be ********
EQUAL******* PRIORITY! The tip or no tip shouldn't equal priority. I NEVER did that when I served at the donut shop/diner I worked for around 10yrs ago. I treated my drive-thru just as well as my dine-in guest that did tip me. I wasn't unfair and SELFISH like you seem to be.
You are saying the server has to suffer, well if they don't like the job, DON'T STAY!! There's the door.
