Regarding this, while I don't work To Go, I can say that (at least at Olive Garden) the To Go Specialist does do a lot of work. The only real difference between what he/she doesn't do for you that servers do is fill your drink and grate your cheese. The To Go Specialist does everything the same, just in a shorter amount of time. You may not want to tip the 20% I hope you like to tip, but they definitely do a fair amount of work that earns some sort of tip
