An already terrible Friday for myself personally. I was not able to get a lunch break during my work hour.
It is known that there is a car show at this location, every Friday.
I was needing to drive my restoration project of a professional chassis vehicle, though I did so due to working out technical difficulties that this vehicle had acquired from years of not running properly. But it is my pride and joy.
First and foremost, I had the best experience with the staff members. Though I do wish that I had cash on me for a tip to be given to the polite woman that served my meal. Excellent and quick. As for what I had ordered, they did get it correct and made sure of what I was attempting to order.
But for the "car show", I was not wishing to stay for. I had other business to part take in my 1989 restoration project. As foretold.
There were clear, white background with bold black letters that had said only for customers. Which I had only paused to read before parking. The sign stated: "FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY".
My job revolves around vehicle related signs, therefore, I read posted signs before making a decision.
After placing an order and sitting outside of and onto my vehicle, which did not have working air conditioning. To say the least, if was much cooler outside.
Had quite the great view of all the other older vehicles and could enjoy my meal in peace.
Except, bringing in my project vehicle had brought attention: I leave only a three star due to the fact that I was harassed not by one, but two people that had made my short break a hassle.
They had harassed me, due to the vehicle that I drove.
A man had walked over as I was sitting on the hood of my classic coach, while I consumed my side dish. To rudely ask me if I read the sign that was posted. I did not know who this older gentleman was, except that he was interrupting me and making a needless scene. An undesired interaction, if you will say as such.
As for the second man: There were plenty of other stalls open at the time of my presence, yet had decided to place his weight against my driver door, enough to shake my vehicle. Again, extremely disrespectful.
I, being the savant, did not wish another awful interaction and had said nothing. That was partially my fault to begin with. But then again, as mentioned beforehand, plenty of other stalls open to order his food.
I believe that the manager here should make it clear- that on Friday's that other people should not conduct themselves so forcefully as to push other customers away, whom happen to be driving one of their everyday olde vehicles.
I most definitely will not be back as a customer here, during Fridays. As I do not fancy the rudeness of the crowd it brings.

Spoke with a kind young lady. As it turns out to be; it seemed as if a previous Manager whom had been fired from those location had returned. He had posted the "Customer Only" signs. I feel like this could be something from the Scooby Doo movies.
Possibly. Either he was on board during that time or returned to vindictively chase customers away essentially. Either way, manager at the time or not, this is not how to be professional. Especially with long drawn out signs. Simply a bold, capped text "CUSTOMER ONLY PARKING" would have sufficed. Both scenarios seem to fit with the incident occurrence.
An added extra two stars for the assistant manager; a week after the listed incident above, verbally apologized for the inconvenience and understood well with what I had to restate on the account.
My fair warning however, watch yourself carefully, as some customers do wear diapers here. And I don't think that this Sonic hands enough sippy cups.
I could say more, but this has been drawn out long enough.
Yet I leave with this, I'm sure it's traumatizing when somebody witnesses two people playing tug of war with a credit in their teeth. Like two rabid dogs fighting over scraps on who pays for the And At that point, nobody knows what's going on. read more
