Perry Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 How much? All they do is bring the food to the car. I don't know if they get paid the same as regular waitresses or if they are paid more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The only place I get curbside pickup is Sonic. I usually tell them to keep whatever coins are leftover when I pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmiraGulch Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Yes...usually 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 The only place 'around here' that does curbside take out....is Quarterdeck.....and they get paid the same as everyone else (it is just one of the servers that run it out to your car). I doubt I would tip though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Years ago, I had a friend who worked for Sonic as a carhop. She made less than minimum wage because of tips making up the difference. When it was new, she would make lots in tips, but it went down a bit after the newness wore off. I don't know if they still have the same pay policy or not, but I usually just tell them to keep the change from the dollar bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The Sonics here pay over minimum wage and have for as long as I can remember. I don't tip them as I really don't see it as any different than me going through a drive through. Once in a blue moon, I've done so for extra service or attitude, but it's been extremely rare. I tip 20-50% at sit-down restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Sorry, I should have included more info. I'm thinking about places like the Outback, which is a sit down restaurant, rather than places that *just* do take away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeatherLynn Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 No. I tip for service (filling drinks, bringing food, going back and forth). I do tip at Sonic, just whatever left over change I have, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caroline Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 We do this at both Chilis and Outback. I tip 20%. I am a generous tipper, and I get better service because of it. Once I showed up at Chilis without my wallet. They gave me my food and I just called back with my credit card when I got home. Also, they give us free chips and salsa when we forget to order it. At Outback, I often have to wait extra time because we order gluten free food there. They always bring me a free drink while I am waiting. My grandparents were good tippers, and I just follow their lead, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammy Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Quarterdeck is a sit down restaurant also. I just can't see tipping someone to carry out your food which is really no further than they would have to walk to take it to you 'in' the restaurant.
