I visited the Sonic location on July 2,2026 at approximately 6:04pm after placing a mobile order through the app.
My order included a large iced water with extra ice, real cherry, real strawberries, and real lemon, along with a Route 44 cherry slush.
At first, I mistakenly believed the drinks had been switched because my niece had accidentally taken my water and handed me the slush. I called the stall button, explained the situation, and later realized the mistake was on my end. I immediately apologized to the employee and took responsibility for the misunderstanding.
However, after trying my water, I noticed it contained lemon syrup instead of real lemon. When I contacted the employee again, she told me their system showed I had ordered lemon syrup. I showed the manager my app, which clearly showed that I had selected real lemon. The manager confirmed that their system displayed lemon syrup, so there appears to be a discrepancy between the app and the store's ordering system.
What concerned me most was the employee's attitude throughout the interaction. She was dismissive, rolled her eyes after I apologized for the initial misunderstanding, laughed during our conversation when I was trying to resolve the issue, and refused to offer any solution or replacement. I felt that my concerns were not taken seriously, even after it became clear there was a difference between what the app displayed and what the store received.
I am not writing simply because of the drink. I understand mistakes happen. I am writing because I believe customers should be treated respectfully, even when there is confusion or a technical issue. I hope this location can review both the employee's “Lizeth” customer service and the apparent issue between the mobile app and the store's ordering system so other customers do not experience the same problem.
Thank you for taking the time to review my feedback. Also after the first misunderstanding she took my receipt and never gave it back nor did she read me my order or say anything when she brought out the drinks just seems like she hates working with the public I’ve also had her as a carhop in the past and she’s never friendly or welcoming. The manager was wonderful though.
