I was a waiter there long ago and I used to place multiple "refills" before the check would come and pack them up to go depending on the customer. Particularly college kids - I knew money was tight, being one myself at the time, and a bunch of leftovers would change my week quite a bit. That and they paid me like $3.50/hr. Darden restaurant bottom line was the least of my concerns.
Happy eating!

So I re-emphasize - unless you start tipping every single person who provides you a service, including fast food workers and grocery cashiers, you have no fundamental standing to why we should tip anyone else who is not providing any meaningful service (i.e. restaurant workers who prepare your take-out).
Further, there is a pretty clear distinction between fast food workers that hand you the food and walk away and someone that literally waits on you at a table, providing services that the takeout orders do NOT receive (e.g., bringing food out, bringing beverages out, refilling beverages, clearing the table between courses, etc.). They are clearly doing more than the person handing over your takeout bag.
Again, if you don't want to tip, go ahead and be the asshole that doesn't tip. But don't act like you're taking some principled position. You KNOW that this is the arrangement and you want the benefits without paying your share. It's really that simple. If you were really that principled, you wouldn't participate at all. Stop going to restaurants if you're actually taking that position.
