Choose your battles.
My girl really loves French fries and today she asked for them on the way the zoo. I pulled into Sonic because it was close and I like their Mozzarella sticks.
I pulled up to order and waited quite awhile to be acknowledged. The person finally greeted me with an apology for the wait and said he was working alone. 5 cars in the drive thru and 6 at the drive up spots. He’s taking orders, cooking food, delivering food and processing payments. I waited as long as he needed me to. Honestly, too long. All I could think was if I drove away how defeated he would feel by the time he ran my food out so I sat patiently.
He delivered my food and processed my payment. When I looked in the bag I realized he gave me Sonic Signature sauce instead of marinara for my mozzarella sticks. I HATE Sonic signature sauce. He said, is everything OK? I looked right at him and lied. I told him it was perfect!! Why? Because I have served food to the general public in an environment where I little to no help. I would rather eat dry mozzarella sticks. I’m going to the zoo. He is going to deal with an ungrateful ass behind me who does not care that he is running Sonic alone for laughable pay. By the time I left there were more than 20 cars backed up right before noon.
Today. Sonic signature sauce is my favorite. Be nice to your server. ❤️
