    I waited about 10 minutes for two drinks and when they brought them out they gave us the wrong drink and the drinks taste like dirty water.

    Just witnessed human kindness in action. As I was waiting, an employee at this Broadway Sonic was helping an older confused lady figure out an order. She was very kind and patient with her. When the lady couldn't decide about a drink, the employee said she would buy her a Sprite and assured the lady she would not have to pay for it. I was very impressed with this young lady and told her so. We don't see enough of this in our world.
