    I learned that carhops make $5.15 an hour.

    Thats MORE then waiters/waitresses, but LESS then min wage.

    never been to one, if i do ever go i probably would not tip, probably because i work at a grocery store and get crap from customers all day and never get a tip. One even said i would tip you but you make to much money which is bs.

    Well, I voted "if she is hot" however I've yet to see a "hot" sonic carhop. If you have seen one then you MUST post pics in this thread.

    Anyway...I usually let them keep the coin change.

    I may sound like an @ss, but I don't ever tip Sonic carhops. Pizza delivery I do tip, and tip good and in restaurants .
    When does the tipping stop? So they walk out a few feet and give you your food, It's their job. Granted sometimes It can be hard trying to carry all of that food out to the car. I just don't think a tip is warranted, unless they carry out a huge amount of food for a big family, than I say a tip is warranted.

    X2 on tipping the pizza guy. I've asked dominos guys to pick up a case of beer while they deliver the pizza, and they always do it. I tip the hell out of those guys.

    Holy crap! People working at the Sonic need the money or they wouldn't be there. It's not a career move. At least they are out there in the job market instead of laying on their ass expecting me to pay their way.

    Since I can afford to eat at Sonic, that means I have a better job and can afford a tip.

    If you don't tip those poor guys, you are a cheap shit and should eat at home. Grow up.

    Some of my good friends are carhops at the local Sonic. I stop by sonic (seriously) 35+ times a month. No I'm not a fatty. I just love the food and the... :spy: carhops. Went to Sonic today for lunch. :)


    Depending on who brings it out and if I have it laying around, I'll give them a tip.

    Sonic is fast food. Do you tip the guy at McDonalds or Burger King?

    I always tip! The good Lord blessed me with a good job and most of these girls could probably use the couple of bucks more than me.

    I don't see it being the same as McDonalds or BK. Most of the Sonics around here have a drivethru. If I go through that I don't, but if they bring it out to my vehicle then I view them as being waitresses.
