To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding an experience at your Sonic Drive-In location (Store #374) on Taylor Street in Griffin on February 12, 2026, at approximately 5:39 PM (Receipt #322274).
I ordered two large Sonic Blasts:
A large Oreo Cookie Blast with extra Oreo
A large Turtle Truffle Nut Blast with added Oreo
When the drive-thru employee handed me the first Blast, I placed it in my back cup holder. As she handed me the second, I noticed the lid had not been secured properly. While attempting to place it in the cup holder, the top came off, and the Blast spilled upside down into my back seat.
The employee appeared confused and did not immediately acknowledge the situation. She handed me napkins, which were not helpful given the spill. I had to request that the Blast be remade. She seemed reluctant and even looked to a coworker for confirmation before proceeding. I was surprised that I had to advocate for a replacement when the issue clearly stemmed from the lid not being secured. After waiting approximately 4–5 minutes, she brought out a replacement.
What truly concerned me was the complete lack of acknowledgment, apology, or customer care displayed during the interaction. The following day, still unsettled by the experience, I returned to speak with a supervisor.
When I requested a manager at the ordering station, the response over the microphone was standoffish. The manager, Jamazianae, came out without greeting or apology. She stated she was aware of the incident and mentioned that the employee had paid for the replacement Blast. However, she repeatedly stated there was nothing she could do to rectify the situation. Her only suggestions were that I could purchase another Blast or wait until the general manager returned the following week and leave a written note.
At no point did she apologize or offer even a minimal gesture of goodwill, such as a discount or voucher. As a supervisor, I would expect some level of discretion to address customer concerns. Instead, I felt dismissed and not taken seriously.
This situation could have been avoided entirely if the lid had been properly secured or if assistance had been offered in placing the items safely. More importantly, it could have been resolved with simple professionalism, empathy, and basic customer service.
If this reflects the level of training and service standards at this location, I will strongly reconsider visiting this establishment again. I sincerely hope additional training is provided, particularly in handling customer service recovery situations.
I look forward to hearing how this matter will be addressed.
