...when you order "Car-side To Go" (or whatever they call their take out service) from a restaurant?
If so, how much is acceptable? For a server (or waitress, etc.), I always tip 20% or more (unless they're rude or something. But a server does a lot more work...

To the people talking about pressing a button, etc., I wanted to clarify... I am not talking about Sonic and such where the person waits on you.
I mean when you order food from a sit-down restaurant, and all the person does it just bring it to your car.
It takes a minute or 2 max. Most of the time they have special parking spots right in front of the restaurant door, so the person has to walk just a couple of feet.

I always give them something extra if the weather is bad, but if the weather is good I just leave them my change. When I was a server it was great to get to run out of the restaurant - even for just a minute. If I had to live off of drive-up tips, heaven help me, but it was a great distraction for a second or two.

I usually tip them a little, but not as much as a server in a sit-down restaurant. I don't know what the ettiquette rule is for it, but I tip them a little. I also tip delivery drivers. I was one once, and it sucks when it's cold out, or you have to deliver to a dump in the bad part of town or something, and about 90 percent of the people that get food delivered don't tip you a dime, or if they do, it's like the 27 cents they would have got back if their bill was 19.73 and they handed you a twenty. Those folks work hard and don't get paid much, and many of them are struggling to make ends meet, so I tip them as much as I can.

i don't understand the position you stay that waitress's make $3.50 an hr reason the following in TN and surrounding states they're in hardship-free words paid $2.13 an hour plus suggestions. i'm not particular what the motorcar hops at Sonic make yet i'm particular that it's not minimum salary and that is hardship-loose courtesy to tip them. in case you artwork as a bartender then you absolutely should understand this and there should be no questions about it.

It is the same. If you push that button and want something else they will come just like a server. No different. And they are outside in the elements.

I would give them one or two dollars, it is a token. Regular wait persons (inside) have to claim a percentage of their sales as tips and pay income tax on it, stiffing them is really uncool.
I knew what you were referring to, still say one or two dollars, just like a buffet, or cafeteria, they do not "serve" your meal, but they deliver it to you, or clean up after you.

A car hop as I understand it gets paid regular salary so they aren't tech. making their main money on tips. It is just a courtsey that is up to you. Your change or a dollar is just fine in my opinion.

it's up to you, we usually just give them the change because unlike servers they get paid min. wage.. where serves get paid below min wage because we are expected to tip servers
