    Went to 1rst drive through, explained 3 times that I didn't want a chili dog but plain hotdogs. 3rd time I said it louder, thought she wasn't hearing me. She said loudly, dont yell at me, I said explained it 3 times She then started to ask again, I told her to forget it. 2nd sonic, I ordered and waited and waited and waited, I went around and asked how long it would be, she said she was bringing it out Ok. Thank u The hot dogs and fries had been sitting and at were room temp. The one dig we had to throw away The other was eaten, but had a tummy ache

    Grease change would have topped off. #9 meal (chicken sandwich) fresh and hot but cooked in old burnt grease.

    Husband went and got me ice cream at 8:30. He said the person who took his order was very rude, loud and distorted (like feedback or an echo?). He ordered me a Large M&M Blast and the person taking the order didn’t even bother to answer, so my husband just sat there for five minutes then drove up to the window. Two words were exchanged and he paid then got the ice cream. When he got home, I started eating it and not even a quarter way through and i find a massive chunk of plastic. Took another bite and found more SMALLER bits of sharp plastic. I had to toss it. So now my husband’s $7 short for a craving that wasn’t even fulfilled. This is actually ridiculous. Who serves this to people ? Are y’all trying to actually kill me??? Like seriously, because this is how you kill people. I have photos but don’t know how to post those.

    They forgot to bring my food. I had to remind them that I was waiting. Then they brought the wrong food. Then the drink was wrong. The BLT was delicious though!
