How much do you tip?

It's paying the server who took your order on the phone, logged it into the computer and (possibly) gave it to the cooks, checked your order to make sure it was correct, and maybe bagged it up and brought it out for you.

What is the difference between that and tipping the cashier at a fast food restaurant? Down here, people usually don't call in their take out orders at Mexican restaurants because the food is whipped up so quickly. Even if you did make the order over the phone, I still don't see how that's anymore worthy of a tip than ordering from a fast food cashier. Occasionally, fast food restaurants do get large orders called in. I once had to make 50 sausage biscuit and hash brown orders. Another time, I had to make 100 tacos. These were orders called in at fast food restaurants, and no one was tipped. We got paid a wage to do stuff like this.
