Hotdog guy, no but I think you're supposed to tip the attendants, huh? I'm not that fancy so it's a rarity that I ever experience one of those toilet rendevous so I can't say for sure.

For example;
If the subtotal comes to $12.68,the tax is $1.05
Add the tax twice $2.10 that's the tip.

Hmmm, I don't know how much, but I am fairly certain you ARE supposed to tip man or woman who is an attendant in the WC / restroom. As for the street vendor... I don't think so...

MEN???? You are a vixen, aren't you? Where are you going to get sized for bras that they have MEN as the attendants???? OMG... Honestly, I've never seen such of thing. And, if he sizes me "good" - Sure, he deserves a tip too! No need for the etiquette police on this one. Although, I wouldn't a female doing the same (too bad if it sounds bad - I ain't getting anything REALLY from her service - I could measure my own dayum self)

LOL (you know I'm kidding, right?)

No tax here in AK, we just dust off a decimal point and double for 20% and halve the dusted and add to the original for 15%. example: 15.75 = 1.57 / 2 = .78 + 1.57= 2.35 for 15%. 1.57 x 2= 3.14 for 20%.

Easy-peasy.

How much should you tip at places like Sonics? I generally give them 2-4$$ there depending on how big my order was.

I don’t think so,,,,,, I’m retired now, but I can do this type of work part time. I can help anyone without charge or tipping. And why are there men in those fitting rooms anyway? My wife has never told me about this ?????? what’s going on in there anyway?

Although, in theory, I think you are to tip them by percentage too - I don't think that is what THEY expect. Case in point: My son worked at a 24 breakfast (mostly) diner. Seems the percentage thing would apply - but in their minds it only applied unless your order was small. Often I'd only have a bill of 8 dollars - a tip on that would be $1.60 @ 20%. My son informed me that anyone who tipped a percentage on orders less than about $15.00 were consider cheap! (he wasn't a server - but was told this by those who were)

Apparently you are supposed to give about a $3.00 minimum - regardless! That'll be the friggin day when I go in for a soda & pay a $3.00 tip - just on principle alone! (a small order is different - but let's be reasonable folks)

How I tip at places like Sonic (I LOVE THAT PLACE - none here in MN though) is according to the quality of service - I give generously if I don't have to wait forever & if I get everything I asked for, etc.
