    Pulled into this sonic with a mobile order already placed, it said it would be ready by 12:24. So I got out of the car and went to the kiosk under the front cover most sonics have and waited for over 30 minutes until 12:54. I politely asked for a small fry in return for the wait, and they told me, “I’d have to place another order”. Then it took an extra 15 minutes to help one of the workers understand I needed a ranch. Not to mention I ordered a sprite and got root beer all while a Spanish-speaking employee mocked me. Expect a wait, this sonic is in dire need of new management and new employees.

    They are doing the best they can short staff, long wait, even when we ordered ahead. Four condoms took about 25 minutes to pickup, due to under staffed.
