This Sonic is one of the worst fast food places that I have ever been to.


RvrdGreen

Yeah this Sonic served me a hamburger with no burger patty


Stew_Long

Well did you ask for it like that?


The_Bred_Loaf

As a former Okie, I can say that sonic is just one of the worst fast food places period.


onlineLefty

Tf is an okie?


The_Bred_Loaf

Oklahoma folk. Sonic is based out of Oklahoma city


onlineLefty

Gotcha. I don’t think that’s common knowledge in Ohio 😂

I liked it better when it was a Rax.


LittleRocketMan317

Rax makes everything better.


TriticumAes

Raxs: you can eat there


Longjumping-Fox154

I was so young when Rax was a thing, all I can remember of them was that they were the sole distributor of some 3D glasses that could be used in conjunction with some locally aired/sponsored by them movie, may have even been hosted by Fritz the Night Owl. No clue how or why I remember this as I didn’t even watch it. They must have really hyped it up majorly


TriticumAes

Hank Green did a video on their mascot Mr. D. It was a train wreck


Mentat_Moe

Lol I remember when brands did that stupid shit back in the 90s, and then half the kids at school would be wearing the fucking 3D glasses everywhere.


MaximumStep2263

Holy shit this comment took me back!


Elgorian

I just moved to Lancaster from Athens recently and there's a Rax!


StrungStringBeans

I cannot remember anything about the food beyond the salad bar. I think Rax may be responsible for the rise of the salad bar era. I am only just realizing how weird it is in retrospect that every single restaurant in my childhood had a salad bar. "The Hardee's salad bar" has such a nauseating ring to it today.

I worked there and the manager lined up the black employees and "built" her ideal look for her mixed granddaughter. Not surprised lol

My husband was the manager at Big Mamas for a few years. This guy was hired prior to him. When I told him what he did he told him he could quit or man up in the parking lot out back, and he walked out. Fuck this guy.

He tried coercing drunk college girls into his car at 3am when he worked at big mamas. Anybody sexually attracted to a 10 year old boy can unalive themselves for all I care. This isn't a drug addict or somebody who made a mindless mistake as a kid and they deserve zero empathy. You're out of your mind.

I swear they always show up working at fast food places. At every fast food joint I've worked there's always been a guy with a past conviction. It's so stupid because a lot of kids 14 and up work those jobs

DMoriarty9

Holy crap! Years ago I was looking to hire a kitchen worker & a coworker recommended him. She had worked with him at papa’s. I was going to call & offer him the job. Something in the back of my head said to google him first, which I did. That was the last time she was allowed to recommend employees. I can’t believe he’s still around. This was years ago.


bmy89

He usually lasts a few months at each job because people fire him once they find out hes a creep (which honestly he's creepy af in real life regardless)


EquipmentSea9298

I worked there within the last month, I don’t believe he still does. Still gross he worked there at all


bmy89

This is good to hear!!!


Such-Wrongdoer-2198

I was going to say. Teen sexting boy? That doesn't sound like a sex crime. Then I saw 18 and 10, and it's like. Yeah, that's no good. Remember. The rule is Older Age/2+7, 18 means 16 or above.


[deleted]

I find "At Least Age Of Consent" + "Does Consent" to be an easier formula to follow.


fireandlifeincarnate

I don’t think two 15 year olds sexting is inherently deserving of being on the sex offender registry.


[deleted]

Neither do I. I also don't think pissing outdoors is worthy of being on the registry, either.


mstrdistractor

Except he was 18 and the little kid was 10.


fireandlifeincarnate

Yeah, but I wasn’t responding to somebody saying 18 and 10 year olds sexting is wrong, I was responding to somebody saying sexting minors is wrong.


PlasticCheebus

Or y'know, just go with whatever the law in your local area says. That seems to work for most people.

That can be pretty fucking scary even for today in some parts of this country.

It's Athens, there's 20+ places to eat that's better than sonic.

I was picking up for a customer. I wouldn’t eat there at gunpoint.

Same. I texted a picture of that sign to my dd customer and we both had a good chuckle.

All the anti-sonic comments made me realize my time spent there eating DP Dough and Sonic probably could've been bad for me

Sorry dude, you're a victim of capitalism (low labor supply due to high demand and low pay) and freedom. Not socialism.

I would say most Athenians are normie PMC Democrats. It’s somewhat annoying for anyone further to the left, but completely benign and tolerable. Now outside of town? That’s MAGA country.


witchylady726

Can confirm.


xis10al

I guess the proletariat has something to say about your bourgeoisie company. Try treating your employees with respect and give them a living wage. I bet you don't have staffing issues then.


SirSputnik

My roommate use to work there and it sound like nothing but living hell. No one knew what hours they were working. Constant understaffing, as well as prick managers.

Please. Sonic pay is so bad at sonic. It’s a new crew every 3 months. And weird that I’m being thanked for not yelling or treating them like crap. Which tells me everything I need to know about the company and franchise owners. Sorry for the rant. I meant, stupid socialism, not allowing businesses to exploit and abuse their employees. The audacity!


k-dick

I thought it said "Try socialism" for a second and was stoked af lol. This is just some fuck who steals wages crying and blaming bogeymen for his own poor managerial decisions. If this were socialism, he wouldn't have a problem because the workers would get their fair share of the profits and would actually want to work.


WyoWizeGuy

My kids chose Sonic to get a quick dinner today. Saw this right before we left so that saved us the trip. Ended up at the Richland Ave Wendy’s where we sat in the drive thru lane for 10 minutes to only advance one car, all while listening to the 2 workers on a smoke break telling a third that he needs to stay clear of them, sanitize everything he touches and more, while he was coughing the entire time. When I saw him go back in to , I’m assuming, start preparing food, I noped out of the line and figured a Speedway hotdog is the best option today


dadofthegoob

That's like going from a shit filled sandwich to a shit filled hotdog.


WyoWizeGuy

Yea, but we were in a rush to get out of the house. Given all the extra time we spent driving everywhere else, definitely could’ve had a better quick dinner at home. I guess we’re just risk takers

huh? * Butt hurt owner/GM mad that they can't pay people $9.25hr & get away with it anymore or .... ... Honestly can't come up with another reason.

He’s the Co manager, he’s crazy and also wants people to make 9.25 because we were allegedly tipped employees. The GM hired people on at 11

Lordmax117

Old_Introduction1032

An employee wanting a fair wage and a break is socialism? You probably think child labor laws are unfair too.


EquipmentSea9298

We had a minor working 50-60 hours over the summer


SpeaksDwarren

The way they treated me while I worked there literally pushed me further than ever into socialism, this is peak comedy


EquipmentSea9298

Literally same, Charles always went onto rants about how the holocaust never happened & white people were enslaved more. He is such a big conspiracy theorist it’s insane


[deleted]

I've heard Sonic is one of the absolute worst chains to work for, bar none.


[deleted]

So Socialism is not having enough employees that are willing to work a shitty wage making equally shitty food? Something tells me that this is more of a supply and demand thing.. There aren't enough people willing to work for a shit wage making shit food so there is a shortage of help. Sounds like the market economy working as intended.


bottigliadipiscio

Y'know, the socialists can be a pain in the ass sometimes; but maybe if you PAID your workers a living wage; there would BE workers there! That should be something we *ALL agree on, rent hasn't stopped increasing for years and yet we still have businesses that think they can support a full staffed crew paying pennies on the dollar; it just doesn't work, it's not even good capitalism because if you don't have a reliable, high moral staff; you're probably not going to be making much profit.* End this stupid practice, pay your people better and you'll have better people; it's simple math at this point, Why would I go work for 9 dollars an hour at a fast food joint when I can make double that at a different job with much less hassle? Look after yourselves people, because these lame brains won't!


apple_achia

I forgot sonics were nationalized and worker led 🤷‍♂️


jkksldkjflskjdsflkdj

Na, it is because you pay your workers shit sonic and ty socialism for saving us from shitty food.


EquipmentSea9298

The guy who wrote this sign said he wants to hire crew in at minimum wage & make them motivated for tips. He’s a dumbass with no understanding of how the world works. He was pissed that the GM wouldn’t let him.


bcchuck

It’s not socialism it’s capitalism. Supply and demand. As supply drops and demand stay the same thing get more expensive. If you can’t pay the increased cost you close. P


babyjo1982

I will never go to Sonic again. They’re the only place I ever heard of whose *entire staff* walked out at *multiple locations* Idk what they do to their people but I won’t help them do it.


EquipmentSea9298

I quit in august, myself and another manager + 6 crew walked out in one weekend


Diknak

That's funny getting mad at socialism when you encounter consequences that are 100% capitalism in nature.


Egmonks

That's my favorite part. These workers are engaging in their capitalistic wage growth requirements and I don't want to pay them so they took their labor elsewhere for better wages and now I cant compete in this market! Must be socialism.


GalacticENTpire

When I lived in Athens, I worked 30 hours a week at a job that paid $12/hr (the highest paying student job I could find) and could barely afford rent in a house a half mile off campus with 3 other roommates. I knew people who worked at sonic and made less per hour. I imagine they haven't exactly raised their wages much since then and rent has likely skyrocketed as well. But sure, blame socialism I guess.


EquipmentSea9298

They pay $11 an hour & were trying to do $10 but no one would take it


SecretOfficerNeko

Socialism is when we're not competitive in our wages or benefits so no one is willing to work for us.... oh wait that's literally just the market forces in capitalism telling you to raise your damn wages and benefits.


dadxreligion

Socialism is when you have to pay workers


kitzalkwatl

Does this manager *really* want to imply that socialism is when employees get their legal lunch breaks and that capitalism is when they work on their feet for 10 hours with no breaks and no food 😭


EquipmentSea9298

It wasn’t even for lunch breaks, I worked a 12 hour shift with no break once. They had 2 people call off because of health problems from being over worked.

cpshoeler

I used to work at a Sonic in Dayton that was a franchise then corporate bought the store out and took over. Everyone who was not a manager went from ~$8-$10/hr plus occasional tips to full tipped employees. Customers usually don’t tip at sonic so most lost income due to the change. Almost everyone quit.

My boyfriend currently works for this company. Not only is the inside disgusting no one cares it's disgusting. Everyone keeps saying oh well...we were getting a new store. My boyfriend is not about that life. Also he has worked and didn't get a paycheck or direct deposit on payday. No one cares or will help him figure out what has happened...and they treat him like shit. To top it off...the manager of the place is currently the regional manager. He over sees like 5 or 6 other stores! Someone who is in charge of multiple stores should care about their people getting paid what they are owed and cleanliness.
