Default Takeout Tipping Reconsideration

A discussion on takeout tipping came up on a past pizza thread—I, and I believe a few others, took exception to Elvio's and other takeout places prompting for tips.

Here's my current question, though, since I know there are a few restaurant owners here: a former student of mine explained that "regular" servers are sometimes assigned to takeout but that their pay structure isn't changed, so they still rely on tips.

Can anyone speak to this and if it's in the majority of situations or how someone might decide both whether or not to tip and how much to?

I usually throw a buck or two in the jar, but if the system above applies, I've been under-tipping.
