A short time ago I was feeling lazy and decided to take a trip to the local Sonic. I believe it was a Tuesday, and they had a half-price burger promotion. So after ordering, the carhop comes to my car with the food, and I pay him. Nothing unusual up to this point, right? Except that the guy kept a dollar. So I asked him about the dollar, and he said "weren't you going to leave a tip?" It was all I could do to not get out of the car and beat him with his own serving tray. After a couple deep breaths, I told him I'd like my dollar back. He got disgusted, and gave me back the dollar. So now, I would like to leave him a tip:
Look, you greasy little burger monkey, if you want extra money, then go work in a place that doesn't require people to sit in their own cars to eat.
End of line

I don't know where to begin with this. I have a 30 minute rant about Sonic carhops and tips, but I thought I had already bored every person in the world with it. You must have somehow been missed in the rotation. Next time I see you, be prepared for me to unload about it, but for now, suffice to say your instinct in re tray/beating is spot on.
I think it's insane that anyone assume they are getting a tip just because they are waiting tables, or uh I mean cars. I am a damn good tipper but I expect good service for my tips and anyone making assumptions about their tip is going to be drastically cut immediately!
