That's because the system they have in place is shite. The carhops have to make drinks, slushies, and all ice cream items--which keeps them from running food during busy times.

But the other places don't even have carhops. The person running you your food is also cooking, running a register, or making drinks. Why is Sonic, alone among fast food, deserving of a tip?

I'm talking about those blendy things.. the blizzard type drinks, Sonic Blasts. They aren't just poured from a machine. They have to be made individually. Most other places don't serve those types of items, and they aren't as popular at the one place that does (McFlurry at McDonalds). At night, I'd say 1 out of every 3 people order an ice cream item at Sonic.

So if you order burgers for the family and everyone gets a Sonic Blast with it, your burgers are sitting on the counter waiting to be taken until your carhop has run all of his/her completed orders out and then has the time to make your ice cream and run your food. And all of his/her orders behind that are waiting as well because they have to run the food in the order that they come.

Basically, they need someone who specifically makes the drinks and ice cream stuff.
