    The lady taking my order was so patient, kind and told me other ways to order my food. The lady who delivered our food was so pleasant and kind. Great job sonic. Also, my food came out super timely, correct and hot.

    People are so SLOW and RUDE! So much so that I will be complaining about this to company headquarters. Company headquarters needs to do much better with training people. I asked for the cost of a shake and was treated with the responses "what kind of shake are you wanting" and "I'm sorry what was that". Are these people ridiculous? Can they not understand the basics of what I was asking? Apparently not. Please do better for the next individual? I will be saving bymy money and patronization for St. Louis location, who are to be quite frank more competent!
