they are paid over minimum wage - no tip is required; should only tip if they provide exceptional service

I tip them, but less than normal wait staff. Usually only a couple bucks.

If there is some extreme weather and i have cash on me yeah. but normally, i don't have cash on me and there's no where on the slip for a "tip" so most of the time no.  I do feel bad about it though because for some odd reason, i like tippingl.

I used to car hop for Sonic when I was a teenager, I appreciated tips it made my work experience more pleasurable. I always give a buck or two to the car hops. Back then we were not paid minimum wage you made up the difference in tips.

but at Sonic - they don't offer an alternative to where you can pick up the food yourself; you either use the carhops or you eat elsewhere - i feel that if they choose this model then tipping is not required

Yes, with good service it is the polite thing to do. Besides, you wouldn't want to know stories I've heard about what they do to chronic non-tipper's drinks.

Nope.
So tired of everyone believing they should be tipped for doing their job.

Yes, but in real restaurants, the server is waiting on you for your full hour long (or more) stay. At somewhere like Sonic, they don't even take your order, only walk it 20 feet out to your car. Anything more than a dollar for that is ridiculous, but I don't even give them the dollar.
And as has been said, they're paid at least minimum wage, while servers in restaurants make $2.13 an hour.

yeah tipping in general is stupid. i avoid eating out/getting delivery just to avoid it. i like how in some countries it isn't even practiced. the only job that deserves tips is stripper maybe.

I tip wait staff at full-service restaurants (even a diner, anywhere that I have a personal waiter who introduces themselves when they take my order) but I never tip at fast food places. I always thought Sonic fell under the category of fast food. I don't tip there.
