    Very upsetting when all of your order does NOT show up on the screen and you try to clarify and one of the workers says "You dont have to yell i can hear you".. I was not trying to yell, just trying to clarify the order... There was 2 orders and the card machine wouldn't even work... and no there was not a suggestive sale on the second order because I asked to speak to a manager...very disappointed

    I dislike having to give a low star but today I requested a Chili dog menu with drink and Cheese curds. I was in drive thru headed back to the shop. When I got back I was disappointed to find no chili just the liquid of it and no cheese just onions and jalapeños that I ask to be put on top of it as additional. The woman were very nice but when you ask for a chili dog and get no chili and your in a hurry . It’s so upsetting. The person at the window or someone should have seen the ticket because she read it back to me and see the chili wasn’t on it or cheese. I don’t go to this Sonic much but seems every time I have the foo back isn’t correct. Just needs someone to manage the food going out. Rant over

    After many complaints I actually can have a brown grilled grilled cheese sandwich on a yellow one egg grilled cheese should be toasted Brown cheese melted tweeked with mayonnaise and dill pickle chips and 98% of the time the sandwich is correctly diamond cut 🤔 but a few times the cook doesn't even bother but yes and a cranberry limade or just order the best classic lime aid. Gotta love it I would like to let everybody know that lady with the hot dog and that's not responding that's look at the picture it's not it's not been edited my boyfriend doesn't give me all the time it's a scanned photo I don't believe that lady and I'm a big believer and I know what I know and I know that photo is edited highly edited and it's what it's called a scan Federal and I'm going to run it through my app when I'm finished. I ran through AI and that is definitely not your hot dog Sonic and remember the customer is no longer always right in my opinion they never were rights this is what artificial intelligence told me. AI Overview +1 The user is correct that the hot dog shown in the image does not appear to be the standard type served by Sonic. The image shows a hot dog with a darker, grilled appearance, served in a plain paper tray with what looks like ketchup, mustard, and a side of fresh tomatoes. Hot Dog Appearance: The hot dog in the image has a distinct, dark, grilled texture, which differs from the typical appearance of a Sonic hot dog. Packaging: The simple white paper tray in the image does not match the branded packaging or a typical Sonic hot dog wrapping. Toppings: The hot dog is served with a generous portion of fresh, sliced tomatoes, which is not a standard topping on Sonic's classic hot dogs. Overall Presentation: The general presentation, including the style of the bun and the application of the condiments, suggests the item is from a different establishment, possibly a local hot dog stand or a drive-in.
