In lieu of a tip I got an asshole

[raideo]

Slow night, most people were at least tolerable then about thirty minutes to close I get this woman. At sonic our managers tell us to give away as many ones as possible near the end of the night if we have more than say fifty, I have on many occasions given away fifteen or more ones to people paying with large bills at the end of the night, if they ask nicely [I] will give them fives or tens, but most of them don't say anything so I don't worry about it.

I had around eighty at this point, only a couple fives and tens, this woman's order was like $5.32 or so and she gave me a twenty plus exact coins, so I count out her fifteen ones and just as I go to hand them to her she makes a disgusted groan and the following discourse occurs:

SC You have to be joking fifteen ones!?

Me No mam, people have been giving me ones all night, I have been giving them away for a while.

SC WELL, i WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A TIP, BUT NOT NOW!

(I decided that since I wasn't getting a tip (which was bullshit anyway, people know if they are giving a tip before they order at a drive in, it doesn't work like a real restaurant) I could screw with her a bit)

Me Were you planning on giving me the ten or the five?

SC (shuts up and takes her ones, knowing that she was caught in the lie)

The moral of the story, people who complain about their change are not the type of people who are generous enough to tip.

Are sonic carhops paid like waitresses? ie, lower hourly rate, and expected to make up the rest in tips?

Ever since they installed card readers I haven't paid cash at Sonic. Got shortchanged too often.

We start at minimum and get a few cents for each position we can work, And I tend to over count other people's change.

Tips are way too inconsistent for them to give a sub minimum, I've had nights with $90 and nights with $15 in my tip cup, but most nights fall between thirty and forty for six and a half hours.

I'll be joining y'all in the gutter just as soon as I finish up here.

Whether or not I tip Sonic carhops depends on the weather and how long it takes. I usually give a dollar.

Not your fault but this policy sucks. This is your manager wanting to minimize the number of ones he has to count, no matter the negatively effects on customers. Your managers should have to come out and explain themselves whenever a customer complains about getting more than 4 ones.

*checks because she doesn't get it*

*gets it*

This customer should count herself lucky to be in the United States. I can't imagine getting fifteen loonies back!

Also - why couldn't she have just paid with the five plus the change?

This is something that I tried to impress on customers when I worked for a gas station, we had a certain amount we were allowed in the till, if someone came up and tried to pay with $40 in loonies it was almost impossible to get them back down to a managable level. People don't like getting $20 in loonies back, heck even $5 annoys people, and we couldn't safe drop them because that much change jammed the safe up. And they wanted to make a $5 coin *shakes head*

She paid with a twenty. The five to which the OP refers is the one they would have handed the SC back if they hadn't handed 15 ones.
