Went to Sonic for the first time and didn't know if it was a tipping place or not.

QUOTE(anthony @ Oct 15 2004, 10:26 AM) In some sense I find it annoying that tip jars are everywhere now. A tip is for service, not for punching buttons on a cash register. I agree about the service vs. button pushing thing. I used to be bugged by jars too, until my daughter worked at a counter service restaurant. She would get some pretty good tips and I asked her what she did to deserve them. She had many examples of how she provided extra service to make the customer’s visit better. The most notable is the time she noticed that a young man was having trouble placing his order at a different register. Turns out the man was deaf and could not speak well. My daughter knows sign language and stepped right in. I think she got as much pleasure from helping him as he got by not having to feel out of place and frustrated. She also told me about several times she would help out a parent struggling to manage several kids while placing an order. When the person behind the counter does something special for me I believe they deserve a tip. -Jeff |
