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.

NSR, I'm giving up on this thread. Feel that I am banging my head against the wall trying to make these people understand the difference between a fast food and a restaurant. My belief is that they do not want to understand. They are the reason Villagers have the reputation of being stingy and greedy with the folks who live outside the 'bubble'.
