Do we have to tip food bringer at Sonic?

Question

You people the one who brings your food to your car...do they accept tip and do you give them tip?? I feel so bad because I forgot to give him any tip.

Answer 1

First of all, I think Sonic is great! The prices are right, the food is great and the nostalgia is wonderful! As for the tip, we don't owe it, but it say's to the server that you like the food, the price and the service and will be back. If you were the server and went out of your way to make the patron enjoy themselves more, wouldn't you appreciate the tip? I think we should give what we would like to get!

Answer 2

Yes, you should tip them.

Answer 3

The sonic my cousin worked at paid all of their employees regular wages, not waiter min wage, so no, its not reuired.

Answer 4

Yes, you should tip them. They make very little and rely on tips.  

Answer 5

Don't feel bad about not tipping at Sonic eventhough the grub there rocks.  I do tip there, but just because I may have a little bit of extra cash and that's how I roll.

Answer 6

Don't feel bad because you forgot.  People forget all the time.  I used to be a carhop at Sonic and we were paid less than minimum wage per hour because it is expected that we would be getting tips.  We were then required to report how much we received in tips and the government taxed that money too.  So, the person bringing you your food at Sonic is usually being paid about $3 per hour plus whatever they do get in tips is taxed.

Peace,

Answer 7

They don't have Sonic in my area but when I go to places that do have it, I don't tip them. All they did is walk outside and give me food, what's the big deal? It's not a professional restaurant -_-

Answer 8

How much do you tip at McDonalds?

Answer 9

Yes, you should tip. They are waiters & waitresses and like the other person stated, they might make $3.00 an hour plus their tips. Don't feel bad that you forgot. I think it was VERY nice and considerate of you to go back and tip your waiter. I'm sure he appreciated it too! I use to be a watress years ago and now I keep a tip chart in my wallet, it says how much you should tip depending on your bill. 15 - 20 percent is what I usually tip. Hope that helps.

Answer 10

no not really; but i tip them sometimes when they are extremly nice or if i feel bad about sending them back for ketchup.
