Are you supposed to tip the carhop at Sonic?

Question

They roll out with your food. We just got a Sonic in my town, and there's nothing really like it, so I wonder what is customary for these roller skating delivery people?

Answer 1

The Big Book Of Etiquette says "YES"!!!  They are a waitress and are in the service industry and are deserving of a tip.  They are paid barely minimum wage if that and do depend on tips to make a living.

Peace & Love  :)

Answer 2

yes. they bring your food to you it's not a buffet tip um.

Answer 3

I've had a few friends that worked at Sonic. They told me that while it's not customary to do so as it is a fast food restaurant and they are paid minimum wage, a dollar or even a few cents would brighten there day.

Answer 4

No, Your all stupid.

Do you tip the person at the drive thru window?

All they do it walk a few more steps to your car. They did nothing special. Just a couple of more steps.

Dont tip them cause you feel like you have too(its not LEGALLY CLASSIFIED as a waiter job) t

Answer 5

I suppose that since you have the obligation to either have someone come to the car, or you walk up to the window and order yourself, a tip wouldn't be such a bad idea.

Answer 6

We stopped at a Sonics on our vacation and the bill only came to $6 but I gave the gal a $1 and she scoffed at it like I was being cheap!! better than nothing in my point of view every dollar adds up I use to be a waitress she needed an attitude adjustment in my opinion.

Answer 7

yall are so lucky to have a sonic to go to... i see comercials on tv all the time for sonic and the closest one is like 90 mi away... its sad
