Let me start by saying 10-15 years ago I lived in the South, mainly Georgia. While there, it was a treat to go to a Sonic Drive in. A while back, when they opened one in Bridgeville, I was thrilled. After it was open a few weeks, we went there and it was an awful experience, on all counts. We kinda' wrote that off as; it was new, they were probably having a problem staffing, etc.
Last week I was on the phone with a friend in the South, and somehow we got on the subject of Sonic. My friend explained that Sonic sells a BLT (bacon, lettuce & tomato sandwich). Ever since the call, I was drooling over the thought of one. So, today we were in the Bridgeville area and decided to give Sonic another try.
If anything, it has gotten worse. The place was filthy. The counter was sticky, and the tables inside appeared to be sticky and basically unclean. One employee was pretending to sweep the floor.
We stared at their menu for about 5 minutes, unable to find anything about a BLT. My wife asked an employee who said "yes, we have BLT's". Then my wife made the mistake of asking "how much does it cost". Naturally, the robotic, fast food employee with a "government school" education, had no idea of the price.
Robotron then turned and asked the price to, who we assumed was the manager. The manager didn't know the price. Just then another robot overheard the conversation and shouted out $3.69.
After about a nano-second of thought and deliberation, we left. Considering that high price for a BLT, and the assumed nastiness of the kitchen (in relation to the rest of the place), we left in a huff.
Sorry Sonic! I don't know what the problem is. I assume it's a franchise operation. If it is, this franchisee AIN'T DOIN THEIR JOB! I'll put my money on that place closing up soon, if it doesn't improve. It's a shame, considering how superior the Sonic Restaurants are in the South!
Maybe one day, they'll get their act together.

First time trying Sonic Drive-in ever. Actually went through regular drive-through rather than the drive-in option. Food was hot and tasty. Service was energetic and polite. Would definitely go again.
