I ordered a number 2 and didn’t want mustard or onions. There was still onions on the burger. I also ordered an ocean water and they charged me for it, but gave me regular water. I called to tell them and didn’t get an answer and didn’t have time to return because I was on my lunch break.
I visited Sonic on August 30th at 11:35 PM, and the drive-thru speaker was handled by a gentleman who was extremely rude. It sounded like he was sucking on something that could’ve been a foot-long Coney, and/or he may have missing teeth—either way, it was hard to understand him over the speaker.
This lackluster customer service made my experience very poor. Sonic is usually great with excellent customer service, so I was really disappointed. I hope he’s able to have a better day and improve his manners and communication.
Having a bad day, and all I wanted was Sonic. I ordered my food and a milkshake (caramel with added bananas. my absolute favorite, it's like a little treasure in my milkshake). I received my order in decent time from the counter, went to go dig for my anticipated treasure in my milkshake. Not a single banana to be seen. This is not the first time I have asked for bananas and not received them, but when having a bad day? It just hit hard today :(
The food was good, and came out in a decent amount of time, but the manager was rude to his employee that tried to engage in conversation. The way the manager acted towards his employee made me never want to come back again. It was very distasteful, and he should think about how he talks to his employees.
This Sonic has an indoor area. The only one I've ever seen like this. There aren't any stalls on the main side when you pull it. I honestly didn't have a clue what to do or how to use this place. When you build your brand around a certain theme & then make a single location so different - what do you expect people to do? I pulled in & tried to use the only stall I saw. Then I noticed a pickup window. The girl inside kept pointing to the door. To me that door goes to their work area so I didn't understand why she wanted me to come inside THIER area.
After about 3 or 4 times of going back and forth saying I don't understand I finally went to the door & that's when I saw the inside. Who would want to sit inside a Sonic? There was no one in there & it takes away from the entire appeal of the carhops bringing the food to your car which is why you go to Sonic!
I didn't get anything since I was already thrown off. When I pulled out I saw stalls on the other side. TOO LATE! Like so many things here in Greensboro, it's designed backwards, too small, or dangerous for vehicles. I don't see how people who live here get in & out of these places on a daily basis. (Chik-Fil-A parking lots are major culprits).
I'll go somewhere else where things make sense. Because having a dining area with no bathroom totally does right?
