Sonic Employees in Johnson City, TN or closer…

I’m supposed to start working at Sonic in TN. next week. I was just wondering how I would be getting paid though. I know I would make some tips, but would I also be getting a set wage too? TN doesnt have a minimum wage. I just moved here from NC, which does have a set minimum wage. So I was wondering if anyone knew what I would be getting paid.

I am supposed to talk to the manager about it Thursday. But I was just curious for now.

So they’re going to tell you how much they’re going to pay you? You have no choice?

The minimum wage is supossed to go up to $6.55 an hour. Is that what you want to make? When you go talk to the manager, don’t mention that. Wait until they tell you how much money you will make and if it’s considerably more than that, leave it alone if you’re happy with what they are going to pay you.

Sonic usually pays minimum wage and I think the minimum right now is $5.65 an hour.

Thanks.

In NC, minimum wage is 7.55. TN doesn’t have a set wage though. Which is why I am confused.
