How much do Sonic restaurant employees make?

[eh24fan]

Our local Sonic pays ALL of the employees at least minimum wage. But, it's up to the individual franchisee if they want to pay the carhops minimum or server minimum wage.

We just had a Sonic open here a couple months ago....but I have yet to go. I have however been to our Rootbeer Stand and always tip the car hops. I feel it is no different than going to a restaurant and having someone serve me ~ other than I am in my car eating not in the restaurant....I am still being served!!

take your money and then ask you if you want change. Ummm.....yeah, I gave you a $20 and my food came to $12.

This is my absolute BIGGEST pet peeve with servers. DO NOT ask if I want change....just bring me my change and let me decide!! Asking if I want my change is asking for a tip....and just plain rude if you ask me! I always leave a tip....however, if they ask me if I want my change the tip value goes down!! Generally I tip between 20% & 25%, but when asked about change I leave around 15%.

We have a couple of local burger drive-in restaurants here, no Sonic too closeby. They luckily don't ask if I want change, but if I give them a bill for something that came to $x.92, they will automatically keep that 8 cents which drives me nuts. I mean, it's only 8 cents so I don't bring it up but still I find that a little rude.

We always tip at Sonic when they bring the food to us. The girls always seem so appreciative.
