Now I Feel Cheap
Last weekend we went camping. On the way up we stopped at Sonic for lunch. (Believe it or not, there are quite a few Sonic Drive-Ins in Bakersfield.)
After we sent the carhop in for more ketchup, Katy asked me if I had tipped her.
This question stunned me. I had never even considered tipping at Sonic.
When she came back I gave her a couple bucks, which she seemed to appreciate.
Now that I've had some time to consider it, I probably should have been tipping at Sonic - at least now that I'm not a poor high school student. It fits with my philosophy - as Vinny Antonelli says, "I don't believe in tipping. I believe in overtipping."
Dang. Now I feel like a cheap bastard, ex post facto. That stinks.
The next time I go to Sonic I'm tipping the carhop $20.

Of course there are Sonics. Bakersfield is the westernmost Oklahoma town.
It's a burger stand. I never thought of tipping there either.
I started tipping Sonic car-hops a few years ago after I saw one run in and out a couple of times dealing with some goob's credit card...
It kind of ticked me off, considering they had a drive-thru at that particular Sonic.
Cheap? Never! Oblivious? Welllllll .....
Touche.
