I can't get tips. I wish I could.
Damn same here. Haircut and tip.
I can't get tips. I wish I could.
Speaking of Tips do you guys tip at Sonic?
Usually a buck. If the carhop is wearing roller skates, then I tip more.
I have never worked at Sonic, but why do they deserve a tip, its not like they actually serve you and wait on you. If you tip at Sonic why not tip at any other fast food place. They do the same job except don't have to walk to your car.,
Are you going to a dentist that costs only $15?
Where do you guys get your haircut??
I go to Petco.
(I have a bit of a body hair issue.)
Yeah, the people at sonic are always trying to walk away with my change! If it's just coins I don't care but sometimes they want to take my dollars. What for walking 10 feet?? At whataburger they bring your food out to your table, and they don't expect a tip.
Roosters...
I used to get my haircut for $11 and I would tip $5 until I found out my sister would do it for free.
Unibrow issues?
I know they don't get paid much, but I have never had anyone even look like they wanted to keep my change at a fast food place. Maybe it is different here in MD than in TX being as though at places like Mcdonalds and BK's here the service is always awful. Well at least in the city anyways...

My points exactly!!!!
Nah. Just keeping that area from the brow to the hairline clean (I'm too afraid of ing that up).
As I mentioned in another thread, I wonder how bad the introduction of credit/debit machines at the order kiosk screwed over Sonic's carhops.
I almost never have cash on me, but I usually give a buck if they're pleasant when they come by with the food.
And as far as ATrain's question, that's exactly why I give them change or a buck. They're going outside (unlike Whataburger) to deliver your food and plus, a good many of them are still on skates.
ANd come to think of it, I have seen commercials for Sonics, but have NEVER actually seen one here ANYWHERE.
I can't remember the last time I saw a Sonic carhop on skates...
I used to let them keep the change, but now I just swipe and go. I don't think they're expecting tips at the Sonics I go to.

As a salon owner, this is a subject that frequently comes up with new clients. With close to 30 years in the business, I will do my best to share my perspective on this topic, from several points of view.
Tipping the stylist who’s a salon employee: Many salons employ hairdressers who are paid an hourly fee, or a percentage of their services. For these stylists, a cash tip of 10%-20% would be ideal, provided the salon doesn’t have a policy against this.
Tipping the stylist who’s a Booth Renter or Independant Contractor: With the advent of boutique salons over the last 15-20 years, many salon owners have chosen to go the route of renting out their chairs, or stations, to other hairdressers. This is a win-win for both the salon owner and the stylist.
Since the stylist is basically an independant en y, he or she usually is responsible for scheduling their own appointments, supplying their own styling products, haircolor, cutting tools etc. This stylist also has the ability to set their own hours, testing the waters of added responsibility, which may be beneficial if they have dreams of opening their own salon. Therefore, while this type of stylist keeps a larger piece of the pie, they also have higher expenses. As a booth renter for 15 years, I was always grateful for the additional gratuities, which ranged from 10%-20%.
Tipping the Salon Owner of Booth Renters: Tipping the salon owner in years past was always considered taboo, and sometimes even offensive. While this rule has relaxed greatly over recent years, most new clients at my salon will ask if I accept tips. I let them know that they’re welcome to if they’d like to, but that it’s not required.
Some of my clients tip, and some don’t, it’s a personal choice. While the salon owner of booth renters has more freedom from the responsibilities of managing and caring for employees, they also receive a much smaller piece of the pie. For my clients who do choose to tip, they generally tip in the range of 10%-20%.
Tipping the Salon Owner of Employees: While this is personally a grey area for myself, I would assume that most salon owners under the age of 40 would not be offended by tipping, however, to be on the safe side, feel comfortable to pose the question to either the salon receptionist or the owner him/herself.
Every time that you schedule your follow up appointment 4-6 weeks out, you’re voting with your hard earned dollars, and that in itself is a compliment to your stylist.
A gratuity is an added bonus for a job well done, and is never mandatory.
And for the client who spends hours driving to another town, or flying across country to see their stylist, extra kudos to you. Time is becoming more and more of a precious commodity for all of us, and that commitment speaks volume to your styilst and your choice in caring for yourself.
Looks like for most situations the stylist I quoted recommends tipping between 10 and 20%
So those of you like Spurs Woman whom tip 50% are likely big favorites at your respective salons.
My stylist is awesome! I tip her at least 20% every time.
Also I recommend her like crazy, on the condition that she always saves an appointment for me.
I am not the best tipper when it comes to Sonic.
I don't always tip, especially if my car is right outside the door.
If the server is friendly, I'll give them $0.25- $0.50 ( usually I am just there for a Cherry Limeade.)
Yeah same here
Sometimes WB asks you to park then they walk to your car, why dont you tip them then?
I don't tip 50% where I get my hair done ... it costs a of a lot more than $6.95 ... that might require a second mortgage.So those of you like Spurs Woman whom tip 50% are likely big favorites at your respective salons.
So do McDonald's, Church's, Bill Miller and other restaurants.
The difference is that you expect to get your food at a drive-thru window (which is the reason you went to a drive-thru window in the first place). Having to move and drive off without food is usually because the eatery is too busy or backed up, meaning it's technically an inconvenience to the driver.
Do you normally drive your car to the door at Sonic and they hand it to you out the window? (Also, I'm not talking the drive-thrus at newer Sonics).
