I tried to go on Saturday October 18 2025 at a quarter to 11 pm. Workers were sitting outside talking. A female started yelling “we closed!”. Usually go 3 days a week on my way home from work as their on the way and the only place really open that late. But hey, they closed…guess I won’t be back.

I would like to tell you about my experience at East prien lake road Sonic Drive-In .I work in Louisiana, sometimes taking care of air conditioning systems for apartment complexes. I was working late decided I wanted to get something to eat before I drove back to Buna, Texas which takes me about an hour and a half. I stopped at Sonic on East prien lake road place a small order. I had left my debit card at home on accident but I knew I had about $20 in change in my car so I ordered a blast and a chili cheese wrap or something. The girl that came out with my order might I add 25 minutes later proceeded to tell me what I had in the bag and to put her hand out for the money I had given her $12 and some change. I can’t remember in change. I gave her nine. Susan B. Anthony dollars and $3 in quarters and some change. She acted like she didn’t know. What a. Susan B. Anthony dollar was called somebody over and they discussed it and the lady told her to go ahead and take it. Then she turned around and left. The girl that had my food in her hand was acting very upset with me for handing her those dollars. She then proceeded to go inside, still holding my food and wave her finger around in the air and Bob her head back and forth and then finally the other lady came back out and handed me my change told me they couldn’t take it! I told her it was American currency. I didn’t understand why and I said I wanted the phone number that I could call to report this. She then goes inside and this little fella comes out and tries to explain to me about a new machine that they put their money into or something or another. I told him I didn’t care about a machine. I just paid for my food and they told me I couldn’t have it and I said I wanted the phone number for corporate that I could call and report this and he turned around smarted off and said I got a phone number you can call and then went back in the restaurant and I didn’t see him again so I left very perturbed don’t understand what the problem was but that crew right there need to go to training again or something. The initial little girl who was told to give me my food and to accept the money should be fired
Thank you. My name is Danny weeks and I tell you the truth. Every word in here is true

Ordered 4 drinks. Only me in my car. They brought them to me with no drink carrier. They said they didn’t have any. I told her it was too dangerous for me to drive and try to carry 4 drinks. She told me to figure it out. Knocked on door, got manager, he told me the same thing, not their problem. Feb 2, 2025 5pm hour.

As the class of Shawnee High School 1986, there is something amazing when you see the drink your class created on the menu. If you’ve never had a cherry, vanilla, lime, Dr. Pepper, give it a try! And add a side of fried pickles and it’s always a win!!! For those that don’t know, Sonic was founded in Shawnee, Oklahoma so…..
