Ordered 3 soft drinks from a stall. 20 minutes later we had still not received the drinks so I call back in. 5 additional minutes elapse before we get 3 soft drinks, watching cars who arrived mere minutes ago get their orders and leave. Received the drinks and the Rootbeer had no syrup. You'd think they wouldn't serve a root beer that wasn't brown.. like root beer. Called in, asked for a new one, the carhop was very apologetic but even the new one was the exact same. No root beer syrup in the drink. Just a milky looking carbonated water. We pull around to the drivethrough to spare the car hop another trip, the employee that answered the machine insisted there was no such thing as rootbeer syrup and what we were served was a totally normal root beer. Again, the DRINK WASN'T BROWN. Swapped it for a Sprite instead and was handed the drink by someone with a poopy attitude.
We don't expect much when going to Sonic but a 30 minute ordeal FOR THREE SODAS IS RIDICULOUS. No exaggeration. Ordered 3:17, didn't leave until 3:48.
