So I rolled up to Sonic today & got a hotdog & paid with my credit card. The lady skated it out to me, gave me the food & then kind of hung around for a few seconds as if i was suppoed to give a tip or something.
Does anyone tip sonic rollerskating folks? I don't know the rules apparently. 5/26/2008 12:12:46 PM |

shit - i don't think they deserve a dollar...all they do is bring you your food...i'd rather tip the cooks...it's not like i'm getting refills. 5/26/2008 12:21:24 PM |

I used to ti when I paid caswh but since they've put in CC machines I no longer tip because there isn't a tip line on the receipts i've gotten 5/26/2008 12:23:57 PM |
Jen All American 10527 Posts user info edit post |
yeah if there isn't a tip place on the cc line i wouldn't have thought about it, i would assume they were hourly
plus if your paying cc for your 4 or 5 dollar meal chances are you dont have a dollar cash to tip anyway 5/26/2008 12:27:12 PM |

Well...someone said they get minimum wage so its not like they are making $2.30 like most servers are. The ones that go the extra mile and skate around deserve a tip imo. I always watch them because it seems like they always come close to falling. 5/26/2008 12:54:11 PM |

do they have bikini week at the sonic(s) here? I know back home there was a week that everyone of the girls wore a bikini top while on skates.

seems like minimum wage earners shouldn't get tips
I mean, the whole reason real restaurants can pay you 2-something an hour is because you make tips, so if you're getting actual minimum wage per hour, you're obviously not expected to get tips. 5/26/2008 3:40:56 PM |

I'm not going to call anyone in here a cheap bastard because I don't really think tipping at Sonic is expected or generally warranted. But I still always tip a couple bucks or so, more if the girl was especially pleasant...and it has the ancillary benefit of speeding up any extra sauce or drink delivery 5/26/2008 5:05:02 PM |

this is true but the "servers" at sonic are not servers they are simply food runners
a sever takes your order, refills your drink, brings you your check, etc.5/26/2008 5:46:48 PM |

skating on asphalt SUCKS
that alone is worth a tip
with that said, i always tip hot girls more...because that's just what is done
if i don't wanna tip (or wait, for that matter), i use the drive-thru 5/26/2008 5:47:05 PM |

Tipping is a hot topic and I'm not reading all this so if I'm repeating someone else I don't care.
You tip for service true, but you also tip for a nice environment. I tip even when I go for an overpriced coffee simply because the place is clean and it's a nice place to visit.
If you don't want to tip stay at home and make it yourself. BTW, I've never been a server of any kind. 5/26/2008 5:59:19 PM |
