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 wrong order, managers unprofessional

Hello my name is Jasmin Ramos i have been in the customer service industry for about 10 years and let me tell you you need a lot of help at your sonic on Blackstone ave in fresno, Ca. I was there at about 9:30 pm on 7/02/17 first of all 1/2 of your order window pos dont work, i understand its busy but took 10min to get our order taken was as simple as it could be, a guy came took our order cuz the windows to order dont work and i ordered a Med oreo banana shake and a med reg strawberrie slush with 1 extra strawberry and it was happy hour so my order should not have been more than $4, so about 25 min later they bring me drinks a med oreo banana shake and they brought a med strawberry shake with 2x strawberry so it was wrong then i told them it was wrong and asked to get what i ordered and the girl told me that they where really busy and she would ask her manager so then about 10 min later she comes out with my melted med oreo banana shake and she brought ne a L strawberry slush with a ton of strawberries a lill to much super sweet and then tells me that because they brought me a big with xtra strawberries but i still had to pay the two shakes and by the way was disgusting because it was melted ice cream and a super sweet drink so i was so upset i decided i would deal with it today now i did not drink the drinks so i would like my money back for such unprofessional people working there and because im a server myself i know this was so wrong, i was not mean or angry then i was just wanting what i ordered, will be expecting to hear from someone soon.

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.

Sonic Drive-In bad customer service at sonic

I went to Sonic Drive thru in Jackson, MS on Ridgewood Road. I had ordered a Lil Patty Griller as on the sign. Only to handed at the window one with BBQ. Not only take 10 mins to receive a small order, it was also wrong because I didn't specify for a BBQ. The employees didn't want to exchange it out because I didn't specific say ketchup or BBQ. Didn't know Sonic could upcharge 50 cents for not saying with ketchup even though I was never asked if I wanted BBQ. I left the food there since they wouldn't exchange my item. This happened around 7:20 am on 6/26.

Sonic Drive-In service complaint on sonic drive in on rancier in killeen, tx

I stop by the sonic on rancier in killeen because I am near there often. I understand the need for workers but when they are coming up to your window it would be nice if the waitress wasn't high and smelled of it. I try to ignore it and just take my order but she wants to engage in conversation this has happened in several occasions with same girl. Also when I had to send a tea back because it taste like it sat for days they laugh on the intercom and don't send new drink. I had to get out car and they just looked at me like why are you in here. I'm not sure if sonic is like other food handler places but the employees around the food hair loose and all over head instead of up and out of face. Maybe someone should do a surprise visit.

Sonic Drive-In service/employee

On Saturday June 24th I went to Sonic in Emmett, ID and ordered breakfast and was served by an employee named Abby who seemed to be intoxicated. She smelled like alcohol and was slurring her speech. At one point she told me to have a good night, though it was morning. I have alerted the management at this store of my disappointing experience and I hope that something is done to increase performance. Unfortunately I don't think I will be returning to the restaurant any time soon

Sonic Drive-In the food and carhop

My carhop, Chelsie, was very rude on the speaker and she then brought our food out in just her hands with our drinks in her arms. She did not even have a tray. She did not say her name, ask how we were doing, and did not read back our ticket to us before giving our food to us. Not to mention our food was cold as well. I've worked at a sonic before.

Sonic Drive-In corn dogs

I know it's national corn dog day today but your storea shoukd have some standard and not serve item like this. this was one of my worst meal that I have had. Corndogs were cold and rubbery and over cooked see picture. I could have gone to any gas station in the area and had better corndogs. I know they are only 50 cents but that not any excuse to put out bad products

Sonic Drive-In employee

As I was sitting in the drive thru waiting for my food, an employee walked out the back door with a cigarette in his hand and I could smell the smoke from my vehicle. After throwing something away and checking the other side of the building, the employee proceeded back in the building with the lit cigarette in his hand. I was very uncomfortable with this and almost left because of his actions.

I got back to my job and couldn't eat them for wanted to let everyone know this is what you get for a 1.20 for a mini onion ring.. All I want to say is that's a rip and sure makes me ill..
