I don't tip. It's fast food, all they did was bring me food. That, in my estimation, isn't really tip worthy.
I also use the drive through most of the time.

FALSE. carhops make exactly minimum wage. i made 5.15 as a carhop.
also, yes all you see them do is bring you your food, but there's a lot more waitress-y type things carhops get stuck with. many take your order, make your drinks, ice cream, shakes, bag the food, keep all kinds of stuff stocked, do side work like waitresses do (ie stuff napkins into bags, sweep the lot, take out the stupid "smile tray").
what always shocked me when i worked there was that i'd get huge tips from people paying 2-5 bucks for something, but the $60 orders wouldn't tip at all. and it's really hard to spend 60 at sonic, it's a lot of freaking food, balancing etc.
