You haven't named *ONE* THING that servers do more, NOT ONE!! As I said before, a Wendy's CASHIER put together my burger LITERALLY, NOT just thrown it in a bag along with putting mayo in a cup and mustard in a cup for me. She also filled my dr. pepper.(this wasn't at a mall, but malls do NOT have self-serve soda stations, even if most Wendy's now have the self-serve, NOT ALL DO). What she did, I watched her put the burger patty on the bun, cheese, lettuce, and onions. I *WATCHED* HER DO THIS HERSELF, NOT THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK, *HER* THE CASHIER THAT TOOK MY ORDER FOR NO TIP!! She did NOT JUST THROW IT IN A BAG!

You are right Servers do take a gamble/risk working for tips but 80% of people have common sense/decency

Common decency is to tip *FAIRLY* by if you tip one, you tip the other, since you can't tip one, you shouldn't tip the other.

If everyone thought like you and the rest of the 20% that it's you aren't LEGALLY LIABLE to tip than the profession and industry of Hospitality all-together would not exist.

For DINE-IN GUESTS, YES IT WOULD. Most people don't tip for take-out in general, so YES IT WOULD because of the DINE-IN GUESTS.

My whole point isn't about the LAW it's about ETHICS and common sense.

But common sense is that there's no more work they doing than what the cashier at Wendy's did for me for that to-go order.

Sorry but the dine-in guest at a full-service DINE-IN restaurant is ALWAYS the priority. They are the priority because if not, a restaurant would just be a kitchen. A full-service dine-in restaurant is about the EXPERIENCE.

What does this have to do with TURNS and being *FAIR*, huh? NOTHING!! Go in the order in which requests came in is how it should be.

You say "I treated my drive-thru just as well as my dine-in guest that did tip me" but I'm not talking about DONUT SHOPS or anything with DRIVE-THRU's. I and once again, talking about full-service dine-in restaurants.

I don't understand why the quality of the restaurant has *A THING* to do with tipping for service, huh? This is what I don't get, because the *AMOUNT OF WORK* is THE SAME OR EVEN LESS than what fast food cashiers do.

So far, you haven't name ONE THING as I asked you to do, NOT ONE. That's because obviously you cannot come up with anything, can you? Well, I am waiting.....

You also assume I am a Server which I never said I was.

No, I didn't think you were.

In my opinion treating a Server at a full-service dine-in restaurant like a drive-thru is selfish.

WHY and HOW when it's 100% *FAIR* since the *******AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL LABOR IS THE SAME OR EVEN LESS than the drive-thru person does. Do you think it took me any less time to put together an order just because the person took it from a window instead of in person? OF COURSE NOT! That's just common sense. Obviously, you aren't thinking with common sense here.

Because most patrons are courteous, and make it worth while.

Then obviously they don't need my money, so that's no problem there.

They aren't going to quit because of the 20% like you (although they often consider it). It takes passion to treat the job like an artform of truly caring for individuals, along with very hard work among a list of other skills way

Then why should we tip them if they don't need our money, huh? Also, I never said it wasn't hard work. I said it was FAST FOOD CASHIER COUNTER SERVICE WORK.

NAME SOMETHING MORE THAT THEY DO THAN FAST FOOD CASHIERS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY, BECAUSE I CANNOT COME UP WITH ANYTHING!!
