Added Syrup Flavors

Does Sonic portion their syrups by drink size? When ordering in the app I can get normal amount of syrup or extra. So if I buy a medium coke with normal cherry syrup, does the same amount of syrup go in a route 44? Or do they add more syrup to the route 44 since it's bigger?

Hours? Should I be worried 😟

Just started at Sonic. Got 1 shift for modules last week. I got 3 shifts this week, tonight included that they texted me to say was canceled 😞 now only 2 shifts this week. And next week’s schedule says only two shifts. 🤦‍♀️🫠🍔 Is this normal hours right now? Or am I just not needed? Feels like quite firing 🤷🏻‍♀️🫠 regardless I’m back on indeed 😒

Annoying Problem - Drink Order LemonBerry Slush

Minor complaint I know. But what is a lemon berry slush? One sonic makes a strawberry slush and adds lemon to it. A different sonic makes a lemonade slush and adds strawberries to it. I want the first but the sonic employee wants to argue over what I ordered. I even ordered a strawberry slush, add lemon and got a lemonade slush with strawberry added. So what is the correct order?

What's your favourite sonic hack?

For me I love the chickfila frosted lemonade but I do NOT love the price but I can get a large lemonade slush with ice cream in it and not only is it bigger but also cheaper than what I would get at cfa and it's closer to my house too lol

Do workers hate when we do this, or do they not care?

Is it annoying when we order their specialty drinks but in regular form so it's cheaper and we can get less ice?

New additions to the $1.99 menu at my location

The Jr. Deluxe Cheeseburger is new and floats were never available at my location, at least on the app. I don't see a way to get any size larger than a small.

Direct deposit

Has anyone else’s direct deposit not worked before? I was supposed to get paid 24th and now the money isn’t there. All my information is correct and the bank doesn’t see the check at all. Not sure what to do now

Employees, do you sanitize the Styrofoam cups?

TL;DR: GM asks all employees to reuse dirty cups or cups that had a different drink in them via sanitizing.

I’ve been working at sonic for half a year, and our GM has been making our building more corporate friendly lately. Today we were asked that if any drinks were made wrong or dropped on the floor they should be dunked in the sanitizer water and reused. He didn’t enforce this super strictly as he stays in the kitchen most of the time, but he mentioned it to some of the assistant managers and crew leads.

I don’t think this is “sonic safe” fda approved; foam is porous, and therefore holds bacteria much more than say a stainless steel tea pitcher. What are your thoughts?

What to make with Red Velvet Fudge

With the December LTO over the Red Velvet Blast is no more, and my manager allowed me to take home the remaining two bags of fudge/flavoring in order to clear space in the walk in. I've already made some pretty dubious attempts at a chocolate milk style beverage and have found myself at a loss for what to do with two whole bags of the stuff. Any suggestions for what to make with this? (Do your worst.)

What do I do?

I ordered Sonic on Christmas as the restaurant said it was open. It was a fairly large order so I ordered ahead of time when I got there, they were closed. I contacted support asking for a refund and was told it would be sent in 7-10 days, it's been a month and I still have not received a refund. I honestly don’t even care about the money i care about the food 😢. I reached out to my bank and they said there wasn’t anything they could do on their end.

Carhop advice money advice

Oka so I recently bought my own personal change/changer I was thinking when I went home how would I not be losing money I go in and I asked my manager the next day wouldn’t I be losing money if I’m using my own money? so basically, if a customer needed a change and gave me a 20, I would have to produce that change out of my own change or if they gave me the dollar amount and change that it cost for the order and no more that I got to keep that change, but I would still owe money for the whole order at the end of the night otherwise I would be short Am I crazy or does this not make sense? Won't I lose money?

Am I crazy or did the cookie dough change?

I got a cookie dough blast today and I could've sworn the cookie dough used to be similar to what you'd see in a cookie dough ice cream, not like what was in my blast today. The "dough" was small and dark colored and had no chocolate chips in it, instead there were maybe 5? mini chocolate chips scattered separately in the ice cream. It wasn't very good, and the cookie dough blast used to be my favorite flavor ☹️

Ex Employees: what brand of malt did sonic use??

I know this whole post is big backed af. However...

I worked at Sonic when I was a teenager and I used to regularly make myself malts. In my adulthood I've found myself craving those malts, but to my horror, they no longer have them at Sonic. I've tried recreating at home but the flavor and texture just doesn't compare. Does anyone know what brand of malt they used in the past? Anyone that worked there? Pls help!

Thank in advance

American cheese

I was just wondering if the cheese used on the smashers are the same as the regular burgers? I’m sure it is but it still tastes a bit different to me.

Should I quit my job right now

I’ve been working at sonic for 2 years now, crew lead. Everyday I’m constantly threatened to be fired, constantly criticized on everything I do. My boss yells at me on things that she barely even does herself and doesn’t get mad at the other managers who do it to. I’m so tired I’m so exhausted of this constant abuse. I mean working at sonic is so easy but she makes it seem like the end of the world, should I quit right now and take the L

App

When I try to place an order my app says “we are having technical difficulties. It says I need a phone number for my account but anytime I try to add one it never saves, I even tried to delete my account and make a new one and it didn’t delete. It’s like my app doesn’t save anything I do. Does anyone have a fix?
