Sonic Drive-In service at drive in

I was at the 2204 Midway rd, Plano, Tx 75093 at 7:45pm September 2nd. I tried to order my food. The child on the intercom was using a cartoon voice the whole time I was ordering. If they want to [censored] around on the intercom how do I know they aren't [censored]ing around with my food? I just pulled out and left. I was there 2 weeks ago and l kept repeating my order but what was on the screen didn't match so I left then as well. I'm done with this company.

Sonic Drive-In service all of it

When I brought me and my 8 year old son threw this drive threw thinking oh this is good because before this I loved sonic, but now that I've heard every "employee " cussing up a storm and sitting. For 20 mins before my order was even taken I'm starting to second guess a lot of my choices with y'all. The service was by far the most terrible I have ever had and seen I watched all of them horse playing and making a mockery of there jobs. But if that's how you do things then we WILL NOT be visiting agian! And I will make sure to let family and friends know as well!

Sonic Drive-In service

We waited over 30 minutes to get waited on and then they apparently forgot about our order, they started serving people who came after us and never told us anything, nothing happened until we complained and then they credited our debit card. Staff members were standing around laughing and talking, not even waiting on customers. The manager Dawn apologized stating they had been out of ice cream all day.

Sonic Drive-In service

So yesterday I went to sonic and got two drinks the drinks were correct but the service was horrible the board was answered nicely but they took a while to bring out two simple drinks. And the man that brought out our drinks had a manager shirt on 1 he did not say his name and he came up with an attitude and 2 when he read it to us he didn't give us time to even say yes he rushed us and said "yes or no" he is not showing his employees how to treat their customers at all ! Need better managers

Sonic Drive-In cherry

So I ordered a shake from sonic which looked great! Until I got home and wanted to eat the cherry. Well to my surprise one of the employees took the liberty of eating half the cherry and putting it on top of my milkshake. This is the second time this has happened to me and it's only the fourth time I have ordered a shake. How disgusting is that? Some stranger eating half a cherry then putting it in your milkshake.

Sonic Drive-In sonic app

on august 26 i attempted to use sonic app at a sonic drive in. your app would not let me pay for my order which cost $1.07. the car hop came out and told me to stop using the app because the order had doubled and their computers were acting up. At that time error prompts was on my app. I had 2 sonic digital cards one had $2.33 and another for $5.00. All of a sudden a reload prompt came on my screen and automatically loaded my card with $10.00. I left sonic without my order because i didn't have any cash on me. there is documentation of this at the college street sonic. i was charged -$1.07 and again $1.07, -0.18. Also i did not have my card on auto reload. Yes, the store has documentation of this. Dummy me passes another sonic (both of these stores i visit often) and the same thing happened. and i was charged $-1.23 and left with nothing. He tried to force the order through from inside but could not. this was at the highway 105 store.i was then given a phone number to call.i would like a refund and my $10.00 back on my debit so i can uninstall the app never to use it again.

Sonic Drive-In horrible customer service

I went Sonic America's Drive-In at 4130 Kirby Parkway.I pressed the red button to order and was ignored!The employee with the headset was walking talking and laughing, never once looked my way.So after I pressed the button a second time with no response, I decided to go on the other side.As soon as I pressed the button, I was greeted with laughter as he took my order.The young lady brought my Sonic blast out and we exchanged money.I asked the young lady was the other side closed and she began to laugh.She said"Did he tell you that ?" chuckling as she spoke.I said no but you just confirmed he was being rude to me. She just said have a nice day while walking and laughing.I felt so disrespected and hurt by being picked on to play games with.I have never been treated like that as long as I have been going to any restaurants. I feel like poor and sad customer service represented today atSonic should never happen to anyone. Then my daughters were in the car to witness such behavior. This situation should be dealt with immediately before anyone else be subjected to such behavior.

I wouldn't post this on a complaint board I would call the general manager and then call Sonic corporate. I do not put up with bad customer service.

Sonic Drive-In service at sonic is so awful

This is the second day in a row where it has taken over 40 mins for someone to even come on to get my order and there are maybe 5 cars here. I've moved stalls and still nothing it's been so long the button has turned off several times and multiple people have left It's not even happy hour. Literally at least 15 people have left this service is something I wouldn't have expected from sonic

Sonic Drive-In service

Went to the Totowa NJ location and this is my 3rd and last time! First time hop handed me the milkshake lid half on spilled all in my car and on my clothes. No problem accidents happen bring me some napkins. 2nd time drive thru lid half on spilled on my clothes as I'm taking cup from employee. Today drive thru again handing me two drinks one in each hand. She's pouring the excess drink out of one cup on the ground out the window splashing my vehicle, and guess what the lid is half way on the other cup with juice spilled all over the cup. Very disrespectful to hand a customer drinks like that! Sonic please invest in better employees or ethics training. SHAME ON YOU! ANOTHER GREEDY CORPORATION! WANT OUR MONEY, BUT DON'T INVEST IN THE GROWTH OF YOUR COMPANY! #SONIC #NOTWITHMYMONEY?

Sonic Drive-In customer service/food

I'm done with trying to buy any food or drink from the Winchester, KY location. Every time my husband and I go there, they screw up our order or forget to give us something that we paid for. Today, I ordered two medium ale-8 swirl slushes, but you can only get them in large because "they are a promo drink and won't be around forever." So I get the large, "but you can't get the happy hour price." I pull away with my drinks and what do ya know, they are regular ale-8 slushes. This location clearly needs better management, better employees, and better training.

Sonic Drive-In long wait time/ stalls that do not work

My husband and I waited for over 20 minutes today to be able to order one drink. 11 stalls at the Clarksville, Arkansas sonic were taped off with caution tape. The stalls that remained open were not operating correctly. We watched numerous people leave without ever getting their order submitted. We were only able to finally place are order by using the cell phone app.

Sonic Drive-In bad management

Yes my daughter was doing training at a Sonic Drive In, in West Frankfort, Illinois and she was told by Seth a manager that she had to wait for Miranda another manager that's dealing with the Herrin, Illinois Sonic when it's done FOR HER TO GET HER SCHEDULE AND NOBODY HAD CALLED MY DAUGHTER SO THEY TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO WORK FOR SONIC BECAUSE SHE HAD MISSED 6 DAYS WITHOUT BEING TOLD THAT SHE WAS STILL WORKING. THEY WOULD NOT TELL HER ANYTHING UNTIL I CALLED THE MANAGER AT THE WEST FRANKFORT SONIC TODAY. IT'S REALLY SAD THAT SHE MAY BE ONLY 17 WITH A CHILD AND SHE'S HOME SCHOOLED AND TRYING HER HARDEST TO FIND A JOB TO SUPPORT HERSELF AND HER DAUGHTER. THEY COULD HAVE GIVEN HER A SCHEDULE SO SHE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT SHE HAD TO WORK AND THEY DID NOT GIVE HER ANYTHING JUST TOLD HER TO WAIT FOR MIRANDA TO CALL HER.

Sonic Drive-In one of the managers (shelly)

When I tried to call I asked politely if my application was being considered and if she'd call me (since she runs interviews mostly) and she snapped at me saying she does interviews on Mondays 4-6 then proceeded to hang up on me in the middle of the call. She's also yelled at my friends over the board, and always seems upset no matter the time. I've never done anything to her, I've only ever ordered food politely.

Sonic Drive-In employees

I hope what I heard about some of the employees at the Fort Smith, Ar location on Greenwood a Road is false. I was told that a manager and a cook was doing drugs on site durning business hours. Something about hiding it in the ceiling tiles in the bathroom. I hope it is just a rumor but thought you guys might want to check and make sure. Normally where there's smoke, there's fire. I enjoy eating a sonic and when this was brought to my attention I wanted to let someone know before something bad could happen. I would like to remain anonymous. Thank you.

Sonic Drive-In rude store manager/cold or old food

I went to Sonic tuesday morning for breakfast, and Rachel, the store manager was very rude to me. She was snatching my credit card out of my hand which game me a cut on my hand! Upon receiving my food I found it very cold, my burrito was soggy and cold, the tatertots were very cold and chewy. I am very disappointed at the way I was treated, I come to this location almost daily and I do not deserve to be treated the way I was. Unacceptable.

Sonic Drive-In customer service

Twice in one week, I left this place DISGUSTED. Customer service here is aweful! Manager, Sheila is a horrible example to her associates of what customer service is about. I ordered fries, mozzarella sticks, a strawberry Sprite, and a float. There was no ketchup, ONE marinara for 6 sticks, no spoon for the float, and the Sprite was regular (not strawberry). While awaiting the corrected Sprite (that I had to pay 50¢ for the strawberry flavoring the forgot), I ate 3 of my 6 sticks and was out of marinara. I asked the guy for another marinara when he came back, but he said they would charge me. I pushed the red button and got the manager who tells me I only need 1 sauce. That is a slap in the face when I just don't $14+ and understood all of your errors with my order. No courtesy! I called your complaint line, and the guy I spoke with and told the story assured me that he would get this complaint into the right hands, but he seemed to not be very attentive during the call. I asked him what the manager's name was that I mentioned; he couldn't even tell me! Just disgusting all across the board! I really hope this letter gets into the right hands.

Sonic Drive-In bad customer service

I have went to Sonic @ S. Post Oak and Orem Tuesday and today of this week. Tuesday I parked and placed my order for a RT. 44 slush. After waiting 15 minutes I called them and asked what's going on, they told the drink was coming out after 10 more minutes I drove off without a drink. No one ever came out. Today I went there tried to order but no one answered after 10 minutes. Please fix this.

Sonic Drive-In sonic app

sign up for sonic app and get a free drink right did not work ended up paying for the drink reason some app issue. Hit my birthday two days ago get a free small shake . So we followed the instruction hit a button with the car hop watching confetti balloons and system error hooray your stupid to trust a sonic app twice. Car hop looks accusingly at me like im trying to rip off sonic for 3 bucks. I showed proof of date of birth she hits the redeem button same thing . So no drink, i refused my order . Make me look stupid over a free drink no system in place to back up a faulty app. ? I USED to drop 2-300 in sonic a month. Make me feel stupid ? There are other burger fast foods out there and im sure if their apps fail, the store will honor the promise.
