Should You Tip at Sonic’s Drive-Thru?

Grabbed a double smash burger at Sonic today—honestly, not bad. But here’s the thing: when I paid, the screen flashed a tip option. I tossed in $2, thinking, hey, maybe the staff rely on tips like servers do. But as I pulled out, I noticed a drive-thru lane. Now I’m stuck wondering: are we supposed to tip at the drive-thru too? I mean, I’ve never tipped at McDonald’s or KFC. Does Sonic expect something different just because they have carhops? Not trying to be stingy, but if there’s no actual carhop running out in roller skates, does the tip still make sense? Next time, I might just hit the drive-thru and skip the tip guilt altogether. Is this just an American thing, or are drive-thru tips becoming a thing everywhere? Genuinely curious how everyone else handles this. #FoodieThoughts #TippingCulture #SonicDriveThru #Food #Foodie
