    Do You Tip The Sonic Server?
    I'm caught between whether I'm supoposed to do it or not. Yes, they are bringing it to your car, but at the same time, they are just walking a few more steps than the woman at the McDonald's drive thru.

    I do a buck or two, generally some high school kid making min wage. They seem more deserving than say the Starbuck A-holes with their "Tip" cups.

      No, nor do I tip the min wage workers at McD's. Americans tip way too much in my opin.

                I'm with this guy. They usually get to keep my coins and I give them a dollar on top.

                  I always do. These kids are learning a good work ethic instead of just playing video games at the house.

                              i've been caught between a few times. I usually ask the person I'm with. Tipping is ridiculously overrated as it is.

                                      do you tip person that hands you the food through the window at the drive through? no. same concept expect the person handing you the food in your car is on wheels

                                      edit: and 1) who eats at sonic, and 2) who eats in their car at sonic

                                        Cheap douchbags. Unless your a kid yourself, why not throw the kid a dollar? What are you going to do with it?

                                        edit: I'm referring to the kids that come out on rollerskates to your car. Not the drive-through window.

                                                Always ask myself, and anyone im with the same thing, I never know if I should.

                                                This one time we sat in the spot and hit that button like 3 different times for more food ... we tipped that time.

                                                      u cheap fuks who cares if u tip or not? the op is a cheap bastard either way cause u think about stuff like this.

                                                      most people have bigger fish to fry then whether to tip or not tip, maybe if u made more money u wouldnt have to worry about being a cheap bastard.

                                                        I always tip about a buck or so for carryout stuff like the sonic chicks or when you pick up a pizza or whatever. It's just because they make min wage and probably get shitty hours so they kinda need tips to survive or at least to be able to buy a beer every once in a while.

                                                        If its a huge order like $100+ I might tip 5 bucks but that's special circumstances

                                                                I have never been to Sonic so I am not sure. I can guarantee you one thing though, if the girl flashed a little titty or let her nips slip out a little then I would tip her. But not if she is in high school girl like some posters above mentioned. I would look away then.

                                                                  most people have bigger fish to fry then whether to tip or not tip, maybe if u made more money u wouldnt have to worry about being a cheap bastard.
