The guy taking my order insulted me and started cursing because I asked him how he was doing. Literally scared me away from ever going to one. The customer service is awful.
They started paying their car hops $2 something an hour. (Tip wage)
I used to work at sonic 20ish years ago and made 5.25 + tips. You make less than that now.
I dont even go to sonic anymore.. dogs are dehydrated, tots are in the same oil as deep fried sweet.. something.. so they taste awful and its over priced food. Rip sonic.
Sometimes I get a craving but then remember they fucked up their fries. You can get big bags of the old version in the supermarket that's right next door to my local Sonic, so I get those instead.
The one in our area was shutdown for a week, just a week, because there was a full blown fentanyl operation running out of it. It was like everyone was involved.
Wow, I thought ours was bad due to staffing. You never knew from one week to the next if you'd get your food in a decent amount of time or if would take an hour because everyone but the manager quit again. One time the drive-thru line got so long that I was literally trapped in a stall.
80’s Sonic was unreal how good it was. Their onion rings especially. Now it tastes like they use pancake batter for them and don’t keep them in the fryer long enough.
There is one near me that I have no idea how it is still open. They dont seem to utilize the drive in stalls and there are literally no outside lights on at night. I honesty throught it was out of business until one night I was curious and circled the building and saw an employee in there!
Just today I saw a OUT OF BUSINESS Sonic as I drove by on a busy street and the former place was NOW a used car lot. So neat. Each used car had their own individual stall with the specifications/pricing etc. in the location where the actual (if open) sonic MENUS order would be. And then, if you were interested in a particular vehicle in one of the stalls, you then 'pressed' the button and someone would asssit you with your questions etc. I thought it was a pretty good use of property.
Yes. The ones near me in MD are always broken down, randomly closed, or have some cardboard sign with a note scratched out in sharpie telling you that something’s broken or not available.

Sonic's. The food quality is terrible and the place lacks modernization. Literally looks like a nuclear fallout shelter whenever I go to one.
