I went through the drive-thru, ordered a medium limeade slush. $3.47 total. I handed her $4.00. She asks, “Do you want your change?”
I replied, “Yes, I want my change.”
She hands it back fast, gives me the slush, shuts the window without a word. Clearly annoyed there was no tip.
I don’t tip at a drive-thru window. Passing a cup through a window is not a tipped profession. I worked fast food in the early 90’s. We didn’t stand there fishing for spare change just for completing the transaction.
Tipping is for service that goes above and beyond — not for doing the literal baseline requirement of the job.
Let’s stop pretending every cash exchange requires a gratuity.
If I was going to tip her, her attitude at the beginning ended any chance of a tip. There was no greeting, no smile, no basic courtesy — just a robotic transaction. The only words spoken were, “Do you want your change?” Then she handed me the drink and shut the window without another word.
Here’s the reality: if someone expects a tip, the experience has to feel like service — not just a transaction.
A tip isn’t automatic. It’s not owed. It reflects effort, attitude, and professionalism. A simple “Hi,” a smile, or even a “Have a good night” goes a long way. Hospitality matters.
If you want gratuity-level appreciation, bring gratuity-level service.
What this young girl needs to learn is the basic job execution earns the wage. Service earns the tip.

My door dashboard order was completely wrong. I did contact doordash and received partial reimbursement. My order receipt on my bag showed my order but the contents was not what I ordered. Doordash driver told me this is what they were given and they are not allowed to open. Store manager I spoke to was not very nice when I reported that the restaurant messed up. I didn’t want dasher to get in trouble. Manager acted like she didn’t want to speak to me at all. Said she was sorry and there was nothing she could do and just hung up while I was still speaking to her.

We came around 3pm, with a small line behind us in the drive thru. We were asked to leave the drive thru due to “being short staffed” and being “unable to wait a moment”. In what world do we exist where we are too short staffed to wait a moment?
Food was fine, but can we slow down in this world and return to our hospitable roots?

The worst Sonic in the area consistently order after order after order. The customer service is terrible, the workers have no sense of pleasantries and have an attitude of not even wanting to be there. The food and quality is worse. How do you make someone wait 10 minutes for chicken strips and proceed to give them burnt re-fried chicken strips. 0/10 would not recommend, stay far away.

Checked in at stall for a Uber eats order, and they never brought order out. They brought someone elses order out I told them I was waiting on a Uber eats order they said oh it’s probably inside and never brought order out. I then check in at stall again and they said I was never checked in. Total about 15-20 minutes probably and employees didn’t care at all that they wasted my time and more importantly took pay from me because that means I missed out on orders due to them being slow and not checking me in properly first time at stall and when I told worker who came out with a order of a different person
Also mind you this was a simple order, a chili dog, a drink and a small ice cream

This has got to be right up there with one of the worst sonics in Wichita. I have been there a few times and every single time there has been a long wait or a huge issue or just rude workers.
Tonight I ordered my food on the app at 8:08 p.m.. the app said the food would be ready by 8:14 but having been to the Sonic before, I waited for a little while longer and checked in at 8:19 p.m. At 8:39 p.m., I decided to go to the drive-thru speaker and still waited 5 more minutes for my food. 35 minutes later, I finally headed home with my food.
When the guy handed me my food out the window, I asked him if it was fresh or if it had been sitting for a while. He said to the best of his knowledge it was fresh but they’ve got a lot of orders at one time. Side note, there was one other car in drive-thru and maybe a total of six cars At all the stalls.
I just got home to to tater tots that were not even lukewarm and a barley warm ultimate burrito.
This is the closest Sonic to my new place, but from now on I will be bypassing Sonic as an option.
And I ordered a large diet Dr. Pepper with extra ice and a medium diet Dr pepper with no ice. The large diet Dr. Pepper hardly had any ice in it at all and the medium head none, as requested.
Very disappointing.

Just got home from this location few minutes ago. All the crispy chicken sandwich have very dark chicken. Little warm but not crispy at all! All the fries super salty and not crispy at all. Spend $36.94 for such a food!!! Kiddo super hungry but couldn’t eat the fries because way to salty. Just don’t have the energy to make a call for complaining. Service was great. We appreciate it also have some little tips. But just very disappointed with the food! Never make any reviews but happens many times. Wish they could be better. Specially now days with food costs.

I would rate this as the worst Sonic I’ve ever been too. So slow, careless, and do not accept their own sorry for the inconvenience coupons. I hope it can get better for you and me:)
