Sonic Drive-In night manager maria

I looked on line to see what time the sonic by my home closes it said 12am. Me and my hubby went all we wanted was two ice creams cones and a cherry coke. So we pulled up at 11pm and there was about 10 other cars there as well so I pushed the button to order and the lady said we are closed now and she shut off the lights out side I told her honey we was here before you shut the lights off and it said you are open until 12 am on line not 11 and she was very rude and said I said we are closed now an shut the speaker off very rude. I think she could have been a little nicer about it and not so rude about it all. I am a secret shopper and I will not give them a good review and make sure all and every body knows what happen because sonic has been around a long time and if the people in charge act this way to people it is very bad to bussiness and I never want to go back there again just to rude and that was the management who do you go to. It was at 8045 forrest lane dallas texas 75243 phone # [protected] 7/7/17. Friday night. She said her name was maria but only you will know when you check to see who was working that night.

Sonic Drive-In two workers.

I believe there names were Sammi, and Summer. I came through the drive thru and they both were just very rude. No professionalism at all. They sat on their phone the whole time! Terrible attitude! Will never return to this establishment ever again and will make sure to tell family and friends to never waste their time or money at thus restraunt as well!

Sonic Drive-In an employee

I was driving through drive thru to order food around 8 on Wednesday the July the 5th, and a lady, I think her name was Kayla I couldn't really hear through the speaker, but she wore glasses and was a bit big when I saw her at the window when I drove up. I was ordering a burger I don't know if the lady forgot to cover her headset or something, but I distinctly heard her mock me for asking what was on a burger and then continued by calling me the word "pendeja" and laughed. I was completely shocked when I heard it as I have always had a good image of sonic, but when I drove up to the window she made it seem like she didn't say anything at all. I would've said something to her then, but I would much rather report it, as this is not good customer service and that's not how I believe any customer should be treated.

Sonic Drive-In mozzarella sticks

I went through the drive thru around 10 after I got off of work. I ordered some Mozerella Sticks and none of them had cheese. I am not sure who deals with these (pre packaged or whatnot) but i had 0/4 of my sticks with cheese. I usually do not complain but I was very hungry :( If there is any way this could be checked for future customers, I'm sure this would be appreciated.

Sonic Drive-In service at burlington, ia.

On July 4th at approximately 8:45 PM we pulled up to the drive thru window, it took over 5 minutes for the lady to take our order, she only got half of I and it had to be repeated twice a small banana custard and a large strawberry shake. Pulled around to the pick up window. She told us our order and price. We gave her the money and while she was making change she was singing whatever was playing in the background. No communication with the customer only singing and handing back the change. About 15 minutes later she handed out the strawberry shake, shut the window, opened window back up and asked "Do you still want the banana custard" Well yes that's what we ordered, about 5 minutes later she handed it out the window and we had to ask for a spoon. The place was not that busy, I do believe they need more training in customer service and how to communicate with customers, was very dissatisfied with her. Flo Seaman, Gladstone, Il.

I have a confession to make, one of my other coworkers saw this post, and they informed James and Amanda about this. James never used drugs, and I only made that up because I was mad at Amanda for firing me. They are going out but Amanda is not pregnant. But still it is against company policy for an employee to date his supervisor. I was written up several times. I guess when I threatened them with an attorney they showed their true cowardly colors and threatened to counter sue me for libel, even though I have freedom of speech. Amanda has never sworn at the customers or workers as I started. Okay James and Amanda you heartless cowards, I take back the lies I said about you. But keep in mind that I was angry at the time and wanted to cause trouble for you and to vent, it is a shame that you result to cowardly actions by taking away my right to free speech by threatening to sue me if I do not either confess the truth and or take this letter down. Dumb losers.

Sonic Drive-In customer service

On July 3, 2017 I tried for the 3rd time to allow the Sonic Drive in in Richardson, TX get my order corrected. On a previous date I placed an order and the order was not correct or as I ordered it. I spoke with Oscar the supervisor, who promised that upon my next visit he would add the corrected items as they should have been initially. Well, I was charged for the items on the 2nd visit. So once again I called Oscar, and once again, promised on the next visit it would be corrected. Well that was today. I received the initial items corrected, but Oscar forgot some of the additional items I ordered today! Is this a joke? can this store not ever get an order correct the 1st time?

Sonic Drive-In milkshakes

I arrived at sonic at 9:45pm, I sat in stall 28, for 15 minutes I pushed the button and no one answered, other cars pulled in and I could hear them ordering, I then moved to stall 27, after 10 minutes someone answered, they were out of everything so I settled for something I didn't even want but wasn't leaving empty handed after all that wait, at 10:45 my order came out, I asked for a drink holder and they were out, of that too, the milkshakes were melted and warm and 3/4ths full, as if they had been sitting for a while, they were not worth my time or money, I frequently visit Sonic but this was just unacceptable.. I tried to call them but no one answered...

Sonic Drive-In tea and phone number

We have been going there for over 2 years at least 3-4 times a week for the great tea . Well the past week we have gone for our unsweetened tea and it was very nasty tasting .Tasted old and just nasty. Than the icing on this issue was yesterday when we went to our shock there was very very little ice in the glass. By the time we got home there was no ice left . We only live about 1 1/2 miles from there. We usually have ice in there for a few hours. We don;'t know if you guys have new workers in there or what but we are very disappointed. Than my tea
i always get the lemon that comes with the tea. I do not
pay extra. Well yesterday the lemon was so small a sliver not even an inch long and very very thin. Another issue is the wrong phone number on the listing page there phone number should be [protected] instead the telephone number listed is a wal mart phone number. Wal mart was kind enough to give me the right number. I called and spoke to someone at sonic and let them know but the young lady told me oh they knew it was a wrong phone number but they can't do anything about it . What is that ? can't or won't ? people in our town love sonic but if the quality of the items go down and service continues to be rude the doors will have to shut because people will not like this place .Please straighten out this place before more people will be going other places ! thanks !

Sonic Drive-In paying for water

6/28/2017 16:31 I like to stop at Mountain Home Sonic rather than other fast food because of the service and food have been very good for me. Above time I was treating my 83 yr old mother to the new concretes as she not able to drive. No problem with food or service, but why are you the only business in town to charge 50 cents for glass of water? My mother needed to take medication with water. All needed was couple of swallows so could enjoy her ice cream. I had spent almost $10 and still required to pay for water ! We were not under a water ban in Mountain Home, AR.

Sonic Drive-In drive-through service

On Sunday, June 25th at 3:30 p.m., I waited longer than expected at the drive-through(zero cars in front of me), and placed my usual happy hour order...diet cherry limeade. The female attendant stated that we do not have diet cherry limeade. I'm confused? I reordered, thinking she was confused and got the same reply. I then asked for ANY diet limeade... was told no diet limeades. Still confused? Asked attendant that they surely had diet sprite or zero? Response, "no we do not." My response, "thanks & bye!"

Sonic Drive-In hole in bottom of my cup.

I ordered an ocean water slush and received it and placed it in my cup holder not knowing there was a small hole in the bottom of the cup. As I was driving home still unaware of the hole, I pulled in my neighborhood and finally picked the drink up to take a sip and my cup holder was full of liquid and it went all over me when I picked it up and went all over my carpet In my jeep. Now my carpet is blue stained. You may ask why I decided to not drink it till then and that's because my jeep is a stick shift so I have to use both hands to drive. This is not acceptable. Cups should be checked for holes or cracks. I want something done about this. I just had the inside of my jeep cleaned the day of the accident before this happened. Please feel free to look at the pictures. Thank you.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Don't hate the player, hate the game."?
...hate the straw, not the cup...
Based on all the information given, I conclude: it was Master Ken, the valet. He killed Mrs. Whitefoam with le Baton Rouge en route home from the drive in!

Sonic Drive-In food/service

I guess this could be filed under both service and product. I arrived at the Sonic Drive-In (in Norfolk, Nebraska) at 7:45 p.m. and was in a hurry, so I went through the drive-thru. Little did I know the mistake I would be making because my food did not arrive until 8:17 p.m. I kept telling myself that because the wait was so long it's probably because they were carefully preparing the product. My food arrived and upon opening the product I was severely disappointed. I ordered a premium breakfast burrito and a bacon breakfast burrito. Image #00 is the bacon breakfast burrito which was smaller than a taco. I hoped after paying almost seven bucks for the premium breakfast combo that would not disappoint. As you can see by image #02, that burrito was even smaller than the previous one and I added the dollar bill next to it as a size comparison. If I had known I would wait over 32 minutes for essentially two tacos, I would have gone elsewhere. The only positive from this experience was they got my chocolate coke correct. I do not feel like I received over $10 in food and will probably not be back to Sonic for some time.

Sonic Drive-In manager complaint

My husband works for the George West sonic drive inn in Texas. When asking the manager Cindy to please either place him on days or nights because I am getting a new job and we shuffel the babysitting between the 2 of us we have three kids and don't have the extra money for daycare... These are the messages I got in return. Not to mention I had a confrontation with a night manager name Crystal had come to my house to ask me "what was my problem" when I ask for husband to come home for help. This sonic is unprofessional and a scam.
