    This sonic always takes forever, but just went there and asked for the All American $6 smasher meal and they didn’t know what I was talking about. They had a sign for it. They took 5 minutes trying to find it or something so I said if you can’t find it then I’ll just take a #1 no onions no pickles with lettuce and tomato, said it twice… another 20 minutes later, and they didn’t put any lettuce or tomato and they left the pickles and onion, plus got another burger wrong.
