Sonic Drive-In

Hi,\t\n\t\nI worked as an employee for Sonic Drive-In at 50th st and McDowell in Phoenix Arizona. I noticed there were going to be some serious issues after I got hired and started working.\t\n\t\nThe manager was intentionally adding a dollar to credit card orders and p...ocketing it at the end of the night out of the til. I approached him on this and was quickly told that it was 'procedure' and he wasn't doing anything illegal. I went to the police on the matter and am not sure if this is still going on or not.\t\n\t\nAlso, there were mice or rats and bugs inside the store. The floor was not kept clean during business hours or cleaned at the end of the night. In fact, there was no mop head to clean the floor with. I also brought this up and was told that it was being 'worked on' and yet as I continued to work there nothing was done. You couldn't see the mice as often as the bugs but they wouldn't take the trash out when there was customers there because they were worried that doing it would scatter the wildlife. So trash would build up back where they were supposed to keep the cleaning materials before being taken out late at night.\t\n\t\nWhenever they suspected a member of the health department coming, they would go to extreme measures to get the place presentable. I remember being told to put duct tape over holes behind the deep fryer and grill. Which at the time didn't seem like a bad idea until I realized it was for an inspection. They were using Raid inside the store, around food. I didn't like the large amount of extra work I had to do inside the store to keep the manager happy since I was supposed to be working for tips(I made only 4.25 an hour and was supposed to make tips).\t\n\t\nAside from the GM stealing money and being deceitful, the people there were pretty nice and I could work along side of.\t\n\t\nI don't think all Sonic's are ran like this and don't think that it's a bad workplace, but this store should be avoided at all costs. I have sent a request to the Better Business Bureau for this place to be looked at. I hope they do.\t\n\t\nGoing here could honestly be harmful to your health. I transferred out on 7/24/2011 to another store and things are much different, money isn't being stolen from peoples credit cards, there's little or no bugs(and NO mice). Also, I don't do 'odd jobs', I deliver peoples food and prep drinks the whole time.\t\n\t\nSincerely,\t\nMaddie Read More

sonic is the best place to eat. The food is awesome, the people are friendly. I would reccomend this place to everyone i know.

I moved here to Phoenix in Jan. of '02. It was a hectic and problem filled endeavor. We ate that night at a Sonic Drive-In just up the road from our new apartment. Before our food was delivered to the car, my boyfriend and I were in tears at the nightmare we had been... through and what was still to come. Everything seemed to change after the food had arrived. With every wonderful mouthful our fears and worries abated. This was the BEST ! The absolute BEST, we both together had ever eaten. The move didn't seem so bad after all. We're certainly not going back to Medford, Oregon. They don't have Sonic Drive-Ins there. Nobody compares to their menu, On or Off World !! Read More
