One reason the handicap space is there is because it is code and they have to do it. And if I stop with the carpool we sometimes get out and sit at a table. Nothing like a hot dog and diesel fumes.

And I always tip a couple bucks.

They don't walk the food out to you. Also, at least in my experience, Sonic carhops tend to be the friendliest fast food employees out there. It's worth a buck or two to have a smiling, polite face bring food to my car than have to deal with Tatatalicious at the average fast food window.

Exactly. And they're supposed to have someone coming around giving you condiments, napkins, etc.

When I worked there, $1 made me VERY happy. 50 cents was normal.
I got like $20 tops a night.

It's certainly not expected so no need to think they're on a high horse or something. (not you, haha .. people in general)

From my experience I never had anyone come out to check on me or anything. So I didn't know.

I guess now that I do know I will start tipping them. (:

I just don't see that big of a difference between what they do, or my expectation of service from any other fast food joint.

Then don't tip It's not expected by anyone there, I assure you. Certainly not worth debating :)

There was a time when they brought the food out on a tray ans they wanted you to eat there. Now that they are basically doing the same as a drive thru, I may give them the loose coins out of my change. That's right, I CARRY CASH!
