Q: I recently applied for a job at sonic drive in...my stepdad was questioning me on it like why do you wanna work there? they pay like $2.50 an hour...i said um no they cant do that thats not even minimum wage! and he said they dont have to pay minimum wage because the people who work there get tips...is this true? and if you know...how much does it pay?? the sonic is in Dallas Texas
A: Are you sure they pay $2.50?? I worked for them in high school which was about 5 yrs ago. I was paid $6.00/hr and would recieve additional tips. It was actually pretty great. Generally on busy days, I would go home with 100-200 and I would make anywhere from 20-60 on slow days.
