    For a “fast food” restaurant it takes an incredibly long time to get anything. Don’t go here if you’re needing a quick meal on the go. By far takes the longest out of all the sonics I’ve been to in Norman.

    I ordered a American dog and got a plain hot dog. How do you mess that up?

    Today being another hot day but I went there to purchase a happy hour drink! I was once a carhop myself which they don't get all the credit they deserve by the service that we as customers receive! Anyway when I went to place my order the woman on the intercom said rudely hold on! After I finally ordered i then heard someone next to me placing their order i could hear this woman rudely saying speak up I can't hear you! All I order was a drink. The customer next to me placed a lot bigger order who got their order before me & the order was being placed right there from what I heard!! But they received their order I believe in a timely manner for how big their order was! I actually felt bad for the carhops there was only 2 working there!! That I could see! I remember doing the same thing running back & forth when I worked @ the Sonic! & I had sweet customers & terrible 1's same as my co workers & working in the heat is "NOT" easy @ all!!! The carhops looked & sounded miserable! No greeting with a smile! But after my encounter it's understandable why this girl felt the way she looked!!! It was "Not" her fault @ all! & she was the reason I finally received my fountain drink! It might had been almost 40 years since I was a carhop! Their job is "NOT" easy @ all! But they deserve understanding from everyone courteous & generosity not just from customers but from the workers there as well! Then as I was leaving the area was so backed up! If there was a way to improve the parking spaces! But I know that would be hard to do @ this moment "OR" @ the area it's @!! & costly! All I want to say who worked the intercom please be a little nicer to your customers!! & Please remember those carhops plays a much bigger role then you think ...there in that business! These carhops taking orders to the customers & receiving the pay! It is a lot of work because your not just being a waitress figure, but facing the weather daily can be really hard for these workers!! & I remember cleaning the stand the lot & bathroom! Now placing the flag was the easiest!: But it adds on more heat for these workers! Not just cooks dealing with the heat by working next to a hot stove!! The intercom can't be as hard if the customers are trying to be nice & explaining their order correctly!! It sounds like the worker is miserable with her job! If she is then she needs to find another occupation! It's like the saying If a person can't stand to be around children then it would be crazy/obsurb working @ a daycare "OR"a school! ! If this person isn't good with customers all I can say to her is you are working in a wrong place!!

    Spend $20 on a mobile food order, request 1 package of condiment that they didn’t put in the bag but was ordered in the mobile app and they want to charge me 11 cents and give me a hard time. Such a silly reason to lose a customer.

    90% ice 10% drink was done with it in 2 seconds this place is not efficient at all when it comes to drinks also asked for no ice I received ice didn’t have time to sit there. Exactly why I get no ice from there Because they don’t know how to put the right amount every single time
