Sonic Drive In

Question of the day «what’s the difference between your regular shake and your
prem-​yum shakes»? The answer, from the disembodied voice behind the drive up menu, «20 cents». Hmmm. Let me rephrase my question «I know about the price but what makes one different from the other»?
Cue disembodied voice“really! All I know is 20 cents… I just asked my manager and she doesn’t know either”. We order our shakes, regular ones, we think. Now a female voice crackles over the speaker repeating our order 3 times and finally gets it right. People! It’s 2 milkshakes with extra whipped cream! Nothing fancy! Ah. The moment arrives! Time to devour my shake with extra… what?! Since when is a table spoon of whipped cream extra? When I got out of the truck and popped my head in the door from where the the car hops emerge to complete my order i got some very dirty looks. Glad I was there to keep an eye on my cup. I know it’s fast food but really?

This used to be the fastest Sonic I knew of, but they’ve slowed in recent years. The staff is still great, but don’t expect lightning service similar to the one on Texas Street near Chili’s.
