I stopped by either Saturday or Sunday evening, I was hungry but really was looking forward to the lemonade. I had $20 on me and didn't want to use my card, so after putting some gas in the tank I had $9 to spend, which in previous visits, should have been more than enough.
I ordered my usual 8 piece nugget with a regular lemonade. I was shocked when the uninterested teenager who took my order on the tablet told me it was $10.80 something. Before I could say anything he saw the cash in my hand and said to pull up and he would take care of me there. So I did, thinking maybe there was a mistake somewhere.
The 2nd uninterested teen repeated the same price, so I asked it's that much for the 8 piece combo?? He looked at his screen and muttered yeah... so I told him I only have $9 so I guess forget about it. He muttered something about it's probably the lemonade. I always get lemonade, and my total has never been over $10... but I'm a non-confrontational type of guy, so I asked how much would it be with a sprite... and this is when I knew something was up - he told me my meal with a sprite would be exactly $9. What are the odds.
I said ok whatever let's do that. So as I pull up to pick up the food, I'm looking at the menu prices online. 8 piece meal is $5.95... and a medium lemonade is $3... though I fairly certain with the combo discount it comes out to a little less but I could be wrong. But even if it doesn't, $6+$3=$9... not nearly $11. I got my food, which didn't have any sauce that I had to request because I was never asked, and either got a diet sprite or the sprite was out because it tasted like straight soda water without any syrup.
I worked at a Sonic for years during and after high school, I know a thing or two about this. And this just reeks of somebody stealing cash from the store, by either over charging and pocketing the extra cash, or pretending to ring something up and erasing the ticket completely when they see that cash is being used. Either way, my 8 piece meal with a lemonade has never been over $10... and this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. I doubt I'll be visiting this location again.
