    So this sonic just loves to close an hour early and don’t understand why whenever they’re the only store supposed to be open at midnight which it usually works out perfect if they would stay open to the time they’re supposed to, but this is the third time I’ve pulled up to the drive-through Intercom and no one reply or they say they are closed. Like just update the time to 11 since they can’t meet the criteria of time to stay open, it makes no sense and is super disappointing and also and whenever they are open, they have shitty attitudes like they hate their jobs, which is understandable but at least fake it. It’s really not that hard Coming from a lot of experience working fast food. I definitely think they need a new staffing for night shift.

    Sonic consistently has good hot food serve quickly. The only problem I have is when you order a drink it's all ice and new drink
