    I ordered a $1.00 chili cheese coney at around 9:00pm, for one of their Thursday specials through their mobile app. After arriving to pick up my food at the promised time, I waited an extra 10 minutes for it. The restaurant was completely empty without a car in sight, but I believe staffing was an issue since there was only two people working. Don't think I'll ever come back to this Sonic, even when they have promotions. Editing my review here due to Sonic's response, which is almost as bad as the service that I had. I'll never return to this location, much less contact them to share the feedback. I'm sharing the feedback here. Sonic should take my feedback and address it, which is what you get paid to do, instead of putting the onus on your customers.

    Horrible customer service. We ordered ahead and still waited 20 minutes in the drive-thru line. After 20 minutes I decided to cut our losses and cancel our order for a refund for which I was not able to in the app. I had to go inside and ask how to do so only for the employees AND night shift manager Megan to say they had no idea how to give me my refund. Megan gave me a ton of attitude and finally had to call in their store manager Charles to give me my refund which I thought to be ridiculous and wasted even more of our time. Why have a manager when they are completely useless? A pretty terrible experience specially with a crying newborn and being hungry. A 5 minute trip turned into a 1 hour trip is never a good sign. The worst part, I was there for an hour and not once was I offered anything for my trouble and the store manager didn’t even care to know the details when he cashed. He just processed my refund and that was that. Anyways, never going back even though their food is great when we actually do get it.
