DON'T EAT HERE. THEY STEAL FROM YOU
I came into the Wilson Sonic restaurant on Tuesday, February 10th, in the evening. I tried to purchase a $6 meal deal. I was told my card was declined. Two days later, I get charged for the meal. I went in Thursday, February 12th, at 7:00 to raise the issue with a manager and he did not help. So Sonic stole $6 from me. I will be going back, tomorrow and if nothing is done with a different manager, then I will be calling the police. I just want everyone else to be aware, so that they don't get taken advantage of.
