- ASAlyssa SnyderOct 27, 20251.0Me and my bestfriend are out of town and we decided to grab some sonic they messed up our order twice and when she came back in the second time she over heard them talking bad about it saying how did she not know it was this or that well hellloooo maybe if yall would’ve given us the right order the first time we would’ve had our order . She was being super nice and understanding because accidents happen but to openly talk about customers is sick . And on top of that giving us food that someone else had already touched is crazy . Very unprofessional . I hope you guys do better in the future thanks .
