    Also, Sonic sucks.
    Sonic probably feels the same way about you.

    Yes. Around here, the car hops are all teenagers, some still in high school, some in college. They don't make squat so at minimum I give 2-3 bucks and whatever coin I was due back. For what it's worth, I get excellent service and my order is always correct.

    They suck, therefore their opinion is unimportant.

    Yes. They earn waitress/waiter salary's (less than half of what minimum wage is). I just round up to the nearest dollar and tell them to keep the change (ex. If the bill is $7.63, I give them $8.00).

    It's been quite awhile since I was near a Sonic, but when I was nearby and ate at it I did tip the person who brought the food to the car.

    The girls I knew who worked at Sonic when I was in high school made $7 - $8/hr from what I understand... sooo, no. I don't. And I never have cash anyway.

    They do your bidding to bring you food and drinks in the blistering heat, rain, and freezing cold. You do the math.

    From a bit of Googling it seems like it varies whether they are paid as servers or minimum wage.

    I wouldn't say they are terrible, just a bit south of mediocre.

    If they expect you to tip, then why is there no tip line on the credit card receipt? I usually pay with credit.
    ^THIS! I rarely use cash anywhere cuz (a) I have a great rewards credit card that I pay in full monthly, and (b) easier to track my expenditures. I have never seen a 'tip line' on the credit slip so I never knew that tipping was expected. If they put it on the receipt then I will start to tip accordingly.
