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

Umm, not really. I used to put together food for people that called in to-go orders while I was bartending at the same time (the sports bar where I tended also served decent food). Got everything ready for them (other than cooking the food myself), they paid me, etc. I didn't do everything the same, just as the "To Go Specialist" doesn't. They don't check back on the people, refill drinks, make sure the food was okay, clear the table properly, etc.

Exactly, that's why I specified that the 20% isn't necessary, but 0% is a dick move. If I do work for someone and my making money depends on how I do it, I'm going to do my best to earn it. If I do, hold up your end of the bargain. That's all I'm saying.

If I go to a restaurant and wait at the bar while my food is cooking, I'll tip at least SOMETHING. If I am just picking it up, though, I don't see the point of tipping.
I will only tip my "normal" amount if I'm dining in.
