I would guess you should... but they're probably used to people not tipping. I don't tip if the waitress or waiter does something that pisses me off

Sometimes. If I just swing by there for a cherry limeade, then no. But if it's me and my wife ordering food, then I usually do. However with the addition of the debit card swipe machines at the stall, it seems a little harder to tip them since I usually don't carry any cash on me anymore.

Also if it's one I frequent which I travel all over the state and bordering states, but if it's one I am likely to be back at in a few weeks or less, then I definatly tip. The one here and the one by my office both know me and my truck.

I agree! And no I have never been to a sonic. And I have one down the street too. Maybe I'll try it out one of these days.

Man, how is that possible! I don't tip at our Sonic bc all the workers are bitches, no matter which one and the order is always screwed up.

I'll tip a dollar on my meal. No tip for just a drink or ice cream.

No. They're making $7+ an hour. It'd be like tipping at McDonalds.
