Then why do they have the whole menu listed?



I actually asked the manager at my local Sonic this. He agreed with me. The drive through is intented for drinks but they have to put the full menu up.

People use the drive through cause they are too cheap to tip.

Of course he agreed with you, dude. Do you even service industry?

You could've also said "you know, I wish they would only let people with truck nuts drive on the interstate" and he would've said "yup, that would really cut down on traffic, just got my nuts shined yesterday!"

He wa agreeing with you so that you would not leave there pissed off and never come back.

I admit, it is possible that this one particular manager does, for some unknown reason, think the drive through is for drinks only. But clearly sonic corporate doesn't think that, or they would've made it that way.

sounds like they 'have to put up the full menu' because it is handy for people ordering off of it in the drive thru

Well.... Did you tip this agreeable manager when you were at the drive through? Or were you being "that guy"

I have never eaten at a Sonic, let alone had an in depth conversation with a Sonic restaurant manager about their business processes.

Pretty sure your boss was just trying to get you to shut up and deliver the order to the car in slot 17.

What do you mean the drive thru is meant for drinks but the HAVE TO put the full menu up? If it was intended for only drinks, why would any food be on the menu?
