Editorial: Sonic Experience a Let-down for the Freenys



I recently had the worst Sonic experience I have ever had. This is the Sonic that I vowed my allegiance to when the new location opened across from Wal-Mart. That allegiance was never tested, as I soon found out the new location and the old one are owned by the same people. If my allegiance had been tested, however, the experience I am about to relate would have completely broken it.

My wife Britney and I pulled up to America's favorite drive-in, eager to order a much-needed supper. I pushed the button to place my order. Here is the conversation that followed, as best as I can remember. I shall call the Sonic employee Monica.

Monica: Welcome to Sonic, may I take your order?
Me: Yes, I would like a number 1 with cheese, ketchup, and mustard only with a Coke. And can I pay more to get onion rings instead of fries?
Monica: So you wanna what?
Me: Umm, a number 1 with chees, ketchup, and mustard only with a Coke. And I would like onion rings instead of fries.
(long pause)
Monica: Ok, so you wanna number 1 with cheese, ketchup and mustard and some onion rings?
Me: Well, yes, but I want the onion rings instead of fries.
(long pause)
Monica: Ok, that will be $4.89.
Me: Wait, I haven’t finished my order yet.
(long pause)
Monica: Is this on the same ticket?
Me: Yes.
Monica: Go ahead.
Me: Ok, I’d like a number 4 with only lettuce and tomato. For the drink I would like an apple juice limeade.
(long pause)
Monica: You want what now?
Me: A number 4, only lettuce and tomato, and an apple juice limeade.
Monica: A number what with what kind of limeade?
Me: Can you hear me?
Monica: (with extreme attitude) I could if you would turn your music down.
Me: (here’s the kicker) That is the music that Sonic is playing out here, not mine.
Monica: Oh . . .
Me: Well, I would like a number 4 with lettuce and tomato and an apple juice limeade.
(extremely long pause, during which Britney and I almost leave)
Monica: Ok, that will be $9.55.

The carhop delivers the food, we pay, and then we check the order. Surprisingly, the sandwiches are correct, but my fries are missing. I then have to press the button AGAIN!
Thankfully, Monica does not answer. I tell them the problem, and they quickly bring out the fries. They do this only after stating that I was not charged for fries. I was. It says so on the receipt. I will be frequenting the location across from Wal-Mart from now on.
