with my dad and brother,and my dad asked the girl behind the counter that was making our sandwiches if we could pay only 8.99 for 2 footlongs it is a promotion that they have u can buy 2 footlongs for 8.99 after 5p.m when we went it was like 4 in the afternoon and my dad said well hold the sandwiches andwe'll be right backand the girl said sure if only u give a good tip. and my dad did he just gave a dollar and some change. what do u guys think about that? i work at a fast food place and i have never asked a customer to give me a tip. we arent allowed to do that anyway, but that girl did. why is it everywhere u go now u are expected to tip? i just want to know why. good opinions please! we ended up getting 2 large drinks for free and we ordered extra meat on our sandwiches, the girl didnt charge us for any of it.what do u guys think?

I think that since you were nice to her at her job (which most people aren't at fast food) she was the same in return. I also see people (usually my friends) doing that because they almost never get caught doing it and its a way for them to show their respect for that person. Even though it was only a dollar and some change, its more than nothing (which I bet is usually the case) which is why she treated you the way she did. I would have done that...
Its the unspoken rule of the common man; you help me out, i help you out.

Sounds like your dad was being a jerk and she was just trying to hold her own by joking around.
Why would your dad ask if he could have the special an hour early? Then he ask her to hold the sandwiches till after 5 to save a little money!
I would have said no to hold the sandwich, and no to giving you the special.
Why she gave you free drinks and extra meat. Maybe she is just a nice person that your dad was mean too. Maybe she felt threaten by all the males who came in to the store so she was trying to be extra nice. Maybe she thought one of you was cute.
A lot of things could play in that part.
But Maybe you should be nice to people who work in fast foods/restaurants/customer service.
Why do people always have to be out to get a good sale early when they know every thing is run by electronics and she could get in trouble for giving you guys a special early?
That is what you need to asking or seeking!

Well first of all some places do have a tip jar and if they didnt then she could probably get fired. I dont know why it would matter cause she hooked you guys up with free stuff and lots of meat. And she probably did that because she was expecting a good tip. So I think your dad should have gave her a better tip then a dollar and some change.

You should never ask for a tip. In fact, most fast food chains forbid that.
I really resent a lot of the places where tips are expected even if the service is poor. The restaurants should have to pay at least minimum wage like the rest of the world.
The word tip(s) originated as a reference "To Insure Prompt service." Certainly, not the attitude of most today!!

She wasn't supposed to ASK for it, but she did hook you up with extras at the company cost, not her's. I don't know what to think of this because she did hook you up, but she isn't supposed to ask for a tip, so I guess she got something good and you got something good. Just leave it at that.

Unfortunately wages these days are sooooo low that people do whatever it is they feel they need to do in order to make ends meet. It is unfortunate that people have to resort to these measures, but it just happens to be a fact of life these days. :o(

haha! you want to know why you got the extra stuff free!...
probably the left overs that fell on the floor from the previous rush of customers...

You asked her to break the rules set by her employer. If I were her, I would have just told you to get lost.

not cool, that she asked for a tip,, a tip should be 'cause service was good, you should never have to give it out
