r/SonicDriveIn

I am a regular customer at a couple of local Sonics. I order my drink the same way at both... Large Sparkling Water with peach and mango puree. At one sonic I am charged for water and the pursees ($1.73). At the other, i am charged for a Sprite and the purees. ($3.79)

Which store is charging me incorrectly?

literally my fav ever and they discontinued it!

P.S why do people have to order 8+ of them per order😭

When did ched r peppers stop coming with ranch? Or was I just spoiled for the last 10 years of my life?

. . . and she wore her Sonic uniform. It was hot. America's greatest drive-in ❤️💙❤️💙

When i was growing up my family always used to get the family box of fries from sonic drive in. It was a rectangular box with a fold top filled with their french fries, (not the crinkle fries they currently have) and was a shareable size. Recently I have not been able to find any photos or food reviews of this item. I have talked to my mom and other members of my family and they swear they remember this. If anyone also remembers this or can find a photo or review please help me out! I feel like I’m going insane.

Yall remember when sonic had all types of milkshakes like peanut butter and jelly and peanut butter bacon 😭 what a time

I've been thinking about getting on at sonic in town as an carhopper since it's not that hard all I know about an carhopper is taking out the food and idk if you got to skate but cause my local sonic is hiring for an carhopper at nights and where I live at there's a lot of " freaks" that will come out at before I put the application in its going to take an while before I get everything set up but I've alot questions about the position like what if no one is there at the drive throughs

I’m a new worker at sonic and I seem to be coming home short every day, I’ve been car hopping for about 4 days after I’ve finished training on everything else. I’ve been short in cash and have to use my tips to cover it all, I was wondering what I might be doing wrong? Today specifically I took a lot of cash orders and got tipped for most of them, I even got tipped cash for some card orders and I tried to make sure I kept an eye on the right scans and didn’t mix up any orders. I’m only upset because I’ve tried not to be hasty and to keep my tips but I’m always short.

I visit the same Sonic in central Arkansas pretty regularly. I usually go through the drive through and only order a few drinks. I always pay in cash. Recently, the store I visit has a guy in the DT window who keeps my change. He didn’t ask. I certainly didn’t tell him to keep it. But every day he keeps my loose change. He generally closes the window and walks off immediately after and I’ve seen it as not worth the hassle to bring it up. But-The other day, just to test it out, I added an extra item and paid with a larger bill. He kept the loose change, but also the $2 in ones I was due. I was due $7.48 and he handed me a $5 and closed the window.

He finally had to come back over b/c there were cars lining up behind me and when I asked him about it he rolled his eyes, got my $2 (kept the loose change still) and slammed the window. WTF is up? Am I missing something? How do I address this without being an asshole. I go to this store too often to have them mad at me and I go to the DT b/c I DO NOT want to tip a carhop for bringing out my food.

When I press the red order button while my car is quiet at my local Sonic locations, it takes a while for an employee to get on the speaker to take my order.

But when I have music playing, someone gets on the speaker right away.

Is that *because* I have music playing?

So should I play music every time I am ready to order just to get someone on the speaker right away?

For context, I live in CO. It is illegal to even touch your phone while your vehicle is on or in gear, which makes sense. I usually order sonic impulsively so it’s not like I order ahead often. Because you can’t put in a quick mobile order at the red light, I just pull in, park, and order on the app real quick (so I can use coupons and rewards).

Two times now I have be parked and ordering on the app, and an employee has come out and asked me if I am going to place an order/have I placed an order and that I shouldn’t just be parked. I was parked for less than 5 minutes, probably closer to 3. Literally just enough time to open the app, scroll the menu, and add my breakfast to the cart.

It is just strange to me. There have literally only been two other cars, so it’s not like I’m taking up space or preventing other customers from ordering. I would have been parked the same amount of time if I ordered with the red button and was just perusing the menu. It’s just weird that it’s happened twice now. Are we not allowed to sit for a minute and look at the menu/order?

I’m Obsessed with the notorious weird grandma sauce but I’m trying to eat vegan so you know, do they serve the impossible grandma patty? I’d love to wash it down with a seven brew and a slice. Of Alberta toast for dessert yippee yes siree

the vibe is basically sonic fighting back dark thoughts, reflecting on what he's done and the man he's become.

i love sonic drinks, dirty sodas, cherry limeades etc.. me only problem is in order to get them for 1/2 off through the app you have to mobile order then park in a space: at the sonic closest to be in not kidding they are slower at molasses at getting to the people parked , even if it’s just a drink. anyone have any tricks or work arounds i might not know?

Ok ok ok I always hit the “keep the change” button because I’m a broke teenager but I don’t want to click no tip. Does it make you mad when someone does that? How much do you guys get paid? I don’t wanna be mean but I also don’t get paid much!
