The last few times I have gone to the Sonic drive-in, the car hops have attempted to pressure me into tipping. It is unnerving as I do not believe they warrant a tip - it is fast food for crying out loud! Same for Starbucks...it's fastfood.
The following are two different locations and two different times at Sonic.
Scenario 1:
Daughter and I went to Sonic during "happy hour" (2-4pm). She ordered her Cherry-Lime something or other and I ordered a cranberry iced tea. My kiddo let me know that she was taking care of it and I let her. Happy Hour is half price. The girl came and gave us our drinks - my 17 year old handed her a $10. The total was like $2.20 which included tax.
The girl looked at my daugher "Ok - thank you is there anything else?"
Daughter said "Ah yeah...you can give me my change."
"Oh I'm sorry, here yah go", she handed my daughter back a $5 then turned to leave.
Daughter quipped "All of it please!"
"Oh... There." and skates away.
Scenario 2:
I ordered a Breakfast burrito this morning. Thats it. I already had a drink.
The lady came to the car and handed me my meal.
"That will be $3.27 please"
"Here yah go", I handed her a $5.
"Ok thanks!" and started walking away.
I said a bit loud, "Oh, was it $5? I thought it said $3.27"
The lady handed me my change with a nice go to hell look.
Anyone else have similar happen to them?
Keller's is amazing. Havn't been there in ages. I am more inclined to tip there, but more of the "kinda" variety in the poll.I always tip at Sonics, usually just a buck. However, I do not go to Sonics much I do go to Keller's. Anyone who lives in the Dallas area would be familier with Keller's. Its a drive in thats been around forever. They serve beer too. Imagine that, sitting in your car drinking beers. The cops don't say a thing about it. Its been that way for a long time. Keller's has the best onion rings in the world. I usually get the number 5 Double cheese burger with special sauce on a toasted poppy seed bun, rings and a long neck Coors banquet beer. and then I continue to oder beers after I eat. I always tip there. A few years ago they closed the last Prince's drive in on Lemmon avenue in Dallas. I don't know if they still have Princes in Houston. Maybe Danerea can answer that.
WTF?Tipping is demeaning, even insulting, and a thing of the past.
WTF?
Geez. I'm sure glad that the rest of the country doesn't agree with you. LOL
Just don't try to tip a cop. They get pissy about it.
Depends on what you tip them with. *wink wink, nudge nudge*
But many do, many do not tip, per this poll.WTF?
Geez. I'm sure glad that the rest of the country doesn't agree with you. LOL

These places must be forced to pay a living wage - and this info must be openly posted - either one way or the other.
To add...things change....those who do not are conservatives....
Do note that when people work jobs like that for less than minimum wage, the company is obligated to pick up the tab if tips don't suffice. So, the employee will always make at least minimum wage.

Absolutely not true. Don't know where you got that information, but it is wrong.
Thanks for sharing that, I had not known that previously. I didn't think any company could justify paying $3 an hour simply because the server didn't get tips that hour (or had no customers).Do note that when people work jobs like that for less than minimum wage, the company is obligated to pick up the tab if tips don't suffice.
