They don't bring the food TO YOU. I have no problem tipping, but they sit at the window. hlthe2b Monday #14

Somehow it gets to you without you getting out of your car. However that happens, you oughta tip the person Blues Heron Monday #16

That is ridiculous.. Handing someone something through a window is not entering your car, but whatever hlthe2b Monday #17

I didnt say they entered, just looking or smelling some car interiors warrants an extra tip Blues Heron Monday #18
