Sonic Drive-In overcharge on bill

In Mexico Mo sonic drive in on Saturday night we stopped in and ordered 2adult combo meals and a kids meal. They had a hard time with the order so was not surprised when it was wrong. First of all we could not understand how this could cost $27+ as they said but when they delivered it there was a extra sandwich that cost $4.49 we notified them and they took the sandwich and the receipt. When they come back they brought $1.10. We said we did not agree with this. They again took the receipt in and said they would check it. After 20 min they had not returned so we left as we were not going to get any more money back.

Sonic Drive-In unethical behavior by employee

My son (who is a minor) works at the sonic drive in henderson ky. he has worked there for year and a half without incident until now. on sunday january 24 my son called me from work because another employee by the name of rachel baker used explicit language toward my son and became confrontational against him. a few weeks prior to this incident there was a verbal altercation where she called my son a racist and other names that due to the explicit nature of the names I will not mention. when he defended himself she then slapped him with the back of her hand on his stomach. I have spoken to other employees that have heard the things that she has said and have witnessed her behavior but are intimidated by her. I have another son that works at same establishment as well and she has made derogatory comments about his father to him. I have confronted her and she denies all of it. I insist that this woman be dealt with and will not tolerate her verbal abuse or physically touching my son at work. he no longer feels safe at work while she is there and I would rather that he not be there if she is scheduled at the same time. I would prefer that she be dismissed from her position but realize that I have no say so in her punishment. I however am not comfortable with either of my sons working with this employee. if needed I will contact legal representation.

To Whom It May Concern: I am writing regarding some unnecessary experiences I have encountered at your location In Taos, NM. I have always loved to go to our local sonic drive-in. It only takes one person to make the whole business look undesirable. There has been quite a few times that I have had to deal your manager. She is a very rude unprofessional...

Back on Monday December 28, 2015 I was told to shut my f****** mouth by a assistant manager when I wasn't saying anything for her to talk to me like that. No manager has a right talking to me like that or any other employee .It is very unprofessional. She was getting ready for a managers meeting with the general manager sitting right there and he didn't say...

Port Keough Jr. steals money from the carhops when they make a money drop. October & November 2015 this happened to a couple different carhops, one of them being my daughter.

Sonic Drive-In management service

The manager Melanie at Sonic Drive In Church Point Louisiana is not a friendly manager. I secretly shop at sonic at least three times a week and every time I am there service is slow the manager is either fussing an employee showing no professional skills nor respect towards the customers. Last week on Friday and Saturday I went in for my regular order and the service was horrible. I blame management. I do not feel as if she is in full compliance and going off the rules and regulations from kergan brothers. Something needs to be done with the manager immediately.

Sonic Drive-In sweet green tea

My wife and I ordered and received a small sweet green tea each on 12/4/2015 around 8:30 PM, from a Sonic Drive Inn in Lexington, NE. I don't know what it was, but it was the worst tasting drink it has been my displeasure to try to drink. It was absolutely awful. Unfortunately, we were driving on I-80 and I did not attempt to drink whatever it was until I was back on road and didn't want to turn around and complain to the management of the store. I shall never order this particular item again. I don't know how Sonic manages its quality control, but if this is any example, they person in charge must have very interesting tastes.

Sonic Drive-In overcharge

I have been going to Sonic Drive Ian's for over 25 years but after today I am through. We had a coupon buy a sonic cheeseburger combo and receive a free sonic cheeseburger. My order was a sonic cheeseburger combo with a diet lemonade and upgrade the French fries to onion rings and then a regular sonic cheeseburger with a diet coke. I received the combo with both French fries and onion rings . I was charged for both as well as both drinks. When I complained both to the carhop and the manager I did not get any satification and was told in so many words they were not interested in my concerns. I will not bother the sonicdrive in's again. I feel the thing I was overcharged for was the fact I ordered only onion rings and I do not feel I should have had to pay for two drinks when one as a combo. It was the sonic on Highway 52 in Rockwell, NC

As of November 16, 2015, I noticed a car that had been parked for at least two consecutive days at the under the curb awning along the edge of the parking lot - not the curb next to the building, but the other curb, in a spot where a customer would normally park to submit an order. I believe that the car belongs to an employee there because I've noticed it...

Sonic Drive-In order wrong

How can the Sonic drive in in Gulf Breeze Fl get the order wrong 6 different times? What is the point of putting numbers on the menue if nobody making the food knows how to make them. What is so hard about a #2 large size and a large coke. I does not matter what time of day or night I go its the same. It seems like the manager does not supervise or just hires people to fill a spot. Sonic used to be a favorite place to eat but my money will go someplace else now

Sonic Drive-In gift card

I have tried to buy a $50.00 gift card from Ripley, TN Sonic for the last 5 months and am always told they do not have any. I talked to the manager and he said they were having problems getting them. I went to the Sonic in Alamo, TN and bought one, I ask if they had any problems getting the cards and was told NO. I told them my experience at Ripley and was told there was no problem getting them it was Ripley not ordering them. Someone needs to address this with the manager at the Ripley Sonic.

Sonic Drive-In operating partner. bobbie azevedo

I used to work at the Sonic Drive-In In Choctaw, Oklahoma. The operating partner Bobbie Azevedo is the most unprofessional person I have ever encountered or worked for. I served in the military and in Basic Training I received more respect then I ever did from her. The woman is unstable. She has a horrible pill addiction. which she claims to be "Rumors" yet she's bought pills from half the employees there. She disappears to buy a "redbull" all the time even when she already has one in the store. She passed out in the employee bathroom for 3 hours once. This isn't hard to believe, especially with her extensive criminal background. I have absolutely no idea how she even got the job. She really should be investigate. I'm not the first to make a complaint.

My son is currently working at sonic and today he had an eye appointment and they dilated his eyes. I know from personal experience that you have a really hard time seeing when the Dr.does this. Well my son was told by one manager that the other manager told him if he didn't come in he would loose his job. Yes my son has been late due to everyone working 3rd shift in our home and he doesn't have his own car yet but he has hardly missed any days since he started there. So I called and talked to the one that is there tonight and be puts all the blame for my son being there tonight which probably isn't safe for him on the GM and the other manager. I am contacting corporate tomorrow and I am contacting the GM! If my son is hurt for being there tonight because he was afraid to loose his job I will sue Sonic Drive In.

Sonic Drive-In wasted gas, no receipt and overpriced

My family and I went to Sonic located on Wabash in Springfield, Illinois on 9/30/2015. The price was wrong until I reached the window. Then we didn't receive our receipt until I asked for it. Come to find out they had thrown it away and tried to pass me the dirty receipt from the garbage can. By this time, I am very displeased and voice my opinion on the matter. The female manager was rude and I informed her that I will be calling the corporate office and making a formal complaint. I called the store and talked to the head manager on duty and informed him of the situation at hand. He only offered some free combo coupons but wouldn't replace my gas that was wasted sitting in their drive-thru! I AM BEYOND PISSED ABOUT THIS INCIDENT AND WILL NEVER PATRONIZE THAT SONIC EVER AGAIN!

lol ummm they shouldn't have to refund your gas. it was your option to choose the drive thru. you could have easily pulled into a stall, and turned off your car. you could have also went to the patio.
