I don't think so. I'll put the food in a bag, grab my napkins and parmesan packets, and ring myself up. Then I'll tip myself the 20% or whatever ridiculous margin multiplied by my already overly-inflated bill. That employee doesn't do anything for me. She does many things for the sake of the restaurant, but not a single thing for me that I need or care about. As a bystander to the employment relationship, it's not my role to provide the economic solution here. But I'm happy to tip for service. Turn the tables and I'm happy to hold the damn door open with a smile for $10. I'd do that all day long since that's a fantastic payoff for the effort required. I'd hold the door open anyway because it's the thing to do.
