The Life and Times of a Sonic Carhop

Me:...

I honestly don’t get it when people have super specific orders but don’t bother telling it to the person taking said order, and then get mad when it’s not made to their never before mentioned specifications. You don’t want pickles? That’s fine – just tell us. You want a Route 44 Fanta Orange? That’s fine – just TELL US. I cannot divine if you want a drink with that. If I could, I would not be working at Sonic. Instead, I’d have opened an immensely successful psychic detective agency with my spunky sidekick and lovable animal companion, and I’d never have to hear the words “but I wanted a Coke with that again.”

If we ask you if this is your order, the correct answer is either “yes” or “no.” It is not “no, but I’ll take it.” That is neither original nor funny. We have heard it a thousand times before, and have never once thought it to be funny. Not. Once. Remember: “yes” or “no.”

Me: Not unless you want your ice cream on the ground.

Me: no.

We honestly like our jobs. It’s just that sometimes people are unbelievably stupid.
