Do you tip sonic employees?

I am almost positive they make minimum wage, I always give them my change..

But I have known a few people who work at sonic and on an ok 40 hour week if you have a decent schedule (not all mornings) they can easily make 300 in tips...

I tip them but its usually .20 to .35 cents. I go for the Slushies at 2pm - 4pm. HAPPY HOUR TIME !

Do they get paid under minimum wage? I mean some waitresses get paid like 3.50 an hour, and if I knew they were making that kind of money I would give them a quarter or something.

I was under the impression that some kind of law was passed that they had to make minimum wage, I mean if they didn't that be a really sucky job because its obvious not too many people tip them.

I was honestly expecting a sonic employee to come in here raging hardcore about how he doesnt get tipped and its expected...oh well //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Are you kidding? It's Sonic!
I have two rich friends that are stuck up as hell and they feel embarassed when I don't tip... I am like... WTF THEY WORK @ SONIC.

And I tip @ restaraunts based on service... Alot of people complain about their service and food and still tip well... WTF IS THAT?

The point of a tip is to earn it, it is not a standard. It is a tip. If it was standard for them to make that extra buck, they would be paid it via payroll.

Never thought of it this way but that's actually a good point. And this conversation reminds me of the beginning of Reservoir Dogs lol. I never understood why some people feel obligated to tip someone just because they make a low hourly rate. Tips should be based on service IMO.
