They don't take AMEX at this location?? I literally just got drinks at the Hartsville location yesterday... Why isn't this posted somewhere? Sonic is fine, this location is shady.

Meh, I don't really like their food, but their drinks and shakes are really good, plus they have the really good nugget ice. 😁
