I received the worst customer service that I have ever had from this location yesterday. The girl with the blue nails, and wears glasses made it very clear that I was a inconvenience to be there. When I first pulled up in the drive thru, I had to wait a while. No one else was there. When she finally took my order, she was very unpleasant, as if she was really annoyed with me. Me, being who I am, is thinking maybe she is just having a bad day. So I made it a point to compliment her nails, hoping it would make her feel better. Nope, she seemed to not even care. No thank you or nothing. Then, when asking for what I thought was extra condiments (Later found out that she did not put any in my bag before I asked) she gave me a bad look (Like, Go Away) while tapping her nails from both hands on the countertop repeatedly and loud. Then as I left, I said to her, I hope you have a wonderful day, her response was yup and closed the window. Sonic, this used to be a great location. People like her will be the downfall of you. I know that I personally will not be back.
