Not like I do at a sit down restaurant, but I make it a point to let them keep the change if it's under a couple of bucks. I tip a lot better for a waitress in a sit-down establishment.

So I guess the point I'm making is I wouldn't feel guilty for not tipping. It's a nice thing to do, but they definitely don't "need" the tips as is the case with wait staff at restaurants.
IIRC Sonic waitstaff are also paid with the expectation that they will make a decent part of their money on tips, but are less tip-dependent than someone at a sit-down restaurant.

I have only been to Sonic once. I paid with credit card, didn't really think about tipping. However, the guy that ran the food out says "I hope the weather clears up so I can get more tips." I took that as a request for a tip, I gave him couple bucks.

Yes, I tip at fast food drive-thrus.
I also tip:
- the mailman when he brings my mail
- Bell Canada every time I make a phonecall
- Anandtech every time I view a thread
- Mother Earth every time I breathe
- the Sun every time it shines on me

I went there for my first time last week. I asked my friend that same question. He said that he used to tip them but then his friend started working there and they are paid a full wage not a wage expecting tips. They also have the same sort of receipt as a fast food drive-thru if you run a credit card (without the line for tip and total). I do not believe they expect a tip. I am sure they will gladly take a tip though.

Anyone who tips less than 25% deserves to DIAF
