    My heart was broken and my Spirit was grieved to hear about the young man who got shot and die while opening up at Sonic on Dorchester rd. January 8th 2026 A young man who was only trying to work and live a happy life, I don't know anything about him but for his employee to let him open up they business he must have been a well trustworthy young man. My Prayers and support goes out to his family and friends. But what really bothers me the most is, Why did Sonic open up the next day are better yet why not stay closed for the entire weekend, I know that it won't make a difference in that young man life now, but it would have made a difference to see how a business honor and respect their employees and their family. After seeing what that Sonic continue to stay open the next day I will no longer support them or any other Sonic. This is just my opinion and the way I feel about seeing how this world is full of greed.

    The card readings were not working outside so it took a lot longer to get out orders. We thought we had been forgotten about Because it took so long yet other people's orders were being taken care of promptly and all we ordered were two items. We got good service from our waitress.

    Went to the booth. Pushed the button. Waited 5 minutes. No response. No other cars except for 2 on the other side of the building which appear to be employee cars since they are empty. Left!
