Do you "tip" at Sonic?

Question

When you go to Sonic and pull into one of the bays and order food, when the worker brings the food to you, do you tip them?

Answer 1

yes

Answer 2

i give them 50 cents everytime

Answer 3

Are your joking me!?!?!

Answer 4

Sonic people make MINIMUM WAGE not waitress wage.

They don't need to be tipped. They'll take it though

Answer 5

No I do not as they are paid minimum wage to work here, not server wages which are approx 50% to 90% less than minimum wage and those servers rely on tips to make a living.  

Answer 6

yea

Answer 7

It's up to you pal. If ya like the service, then tip.

Answer 8

My mom has always tipped at sonic, so I have for the longest time. However, now I work at Sonic as a carhop and a lot of people tip. I think about 60% of the people there tip. Most of the time, I see people give either their change or an extra dollar. It's not expected to tip, although, honestly, if I bring out a $40+ order, I get a little bummed if I don't get tipped at all, but I'm spoiled by the "keep the change" tips from bringing out 1 drink or a bag of ice. Most people at sonic get paid minimum wage, but I've heard some places have to report their tips.

Answer 9

If I get good service and a good attitude.

Answer 10

Yes, we do.

Answer 11

Yeah i usually leave a wrapper or an empty cup there.

Answer 12

I am always a bit confused on this tipping at sonic as well

Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't but w/ their new pay w your credit card deal no I don't because you can't so Yeah

when I just get a drink or if it takes like 20 mins to get my food no I don't unless I feel sorry for them

I will if I get a bunch of stuff because I know it took time to get it all together etc  

Answer 13

ya sometime

Answer 14

YES  only cheap people don't . that is part of the income I was a waitress and the tips are the majority of your income. Would you want tipped? they are providing a service for you and believe me they aren't getting paid much to do it.

Answer 15

WHAT?????

Answer 16

Depends how far away I park. If I'm say, 3 feet away from the door, then no. If it's more of a distance, I contribute a dollar or two.

Answer 17

No i never really thought of tiping the workers at Sonic

Answer 18

If there is a lot of change back than I tell them they can keep it because I don't like coins in my pocket... but I don't think that you tip in fast food restaurants, they don't really interact with you. They just bring you your food and they leave. It's not a casual restaurant where there are waiters. ♦

Answer 19

You can and should but if you don't it would be rude

Answer 20

why would you? i wouldnt. its a sonic. its like dairy queen with less customers.

Answer 21

Yeah, because they are actually doing something for me, but I don't leave money in those tip cups at Starbucks.  I am not going to pay extra for their phony greetings.  

Answer 22

i usually tip the coins or change part of my change
