Annoying

I dunno why, but it bothered me.

A few days ago I was at 5288 getting my usual, waiting for Chi to get off, at around 4pm. Tail end of Happy Hour. Needless to say the place was packed. Nearly every stall was full, people at 3 of the 5 tables, drive through backed nearly to the road. Its how it is at the tail end of half priced drinks time in the heat of the south in the summer. Its natural.

Every one was working hard and moving surprisingly fast considering all the factors.

But the lady in the stall next to me wasn't happy.
I heard her saying "I've been waiting 15 minutes and all I ordered was a some drinks."
And I thought, well damn that's pretty long for drinks, but I wouldn't compla-
And the she said "and two Cheddar Peppers."

Those are not something they have just sitting around in bens like the tots. Those have to be cooked to order, admitsed aaaall the tots they've got to be cranking out at that time of day. You have to factor in cook time, and the time it takes to clear out a fryer to get them down, and the fact that they are at the busiest point in the day. Not to mention It was only actually closer to 10 minutes she'd been waiting. I think they did a damn good job getting it to her on time. And it was already heading out when she re-pushed to complain.
It was sort of annoying to have to listen to.

Though, in her defense, I must say waiting always feels longer than it is. And as hot as it was she was probably very thirsty.

But still, I found it mildly annoying. At least enough to recall and post her for you.

Well that's about it. I'd about to head out to Sonic for a drink (I must be addicted) so I'll catch you later!

NAKED DOG ALERT!

Went to get Joey (tiny little old man in form of poodle) his summer haircut and stopped by Sonic on the way back.. go figure ;p

Kiki (housemate) was driving so she was was the one to order, therefor I couldn't see the board. So, I said I wanted a Jr. Burger and some small tots with my Route44 Raspberry Diet Coke (with light ice).
But its not the Jr. Burger I wanted it was the Jr. Deluxe Burger.
It was really early for me to be up, around 7 or 8 so I was very hungry.

But fear not! Super Awesome Morning Lady was there today. (need to get her name or make one up.. *nodnod*)

Kiki put in th order and Super Awesome Morning Lady said "Did you an Jr. or Jr. Deluxe. They're different and she usually gets the deluxe."

Knows me by drink and remembers my usual snacks. Hehhe! It may seem odd to some but I LOVE it.

And the Super Awesome Morning Lady always gets the drink juuust right. Yosh!

Anyway its not much to say other than that right now.

Free Drink Survey

Chi went in early today, so I was at Sonic at 8. I'm not usually awake until around 10:30 so I was very sleepy. I decided to get breakfast and take a nap.

I love sleeping in my car at Sonic >< teehee.

I got my normal breakfast, a Jr. Burger and my beloved Raspberry Diet Coke, but first I had to call in the survey to make my drink free.

I got a long one this time.

You can tell by the second question if its gonna be long or short.

Here's the general set up of a Sonic Free Route44 call in survey.(I've done it enough to know ><)

Pre IDcode imput:
Thank you for calling Sonic's customer satisfaction survey. We value you candid feed back. In order to complete this survey you must be using a touch tone phone and have your receipt handy. Please inter the IDcode at the bottom of your receipt followed by the pound sign.

Or somethng like that ;p

So you do that. (the first 4 numbers of the code happen to be the store number, and the code you get back starts with the same 4 numbers, Rar!)

Then you put it in and they say:
We would like to ask you a few questions about your visit to the Sonic Drive in where you received this survey invitation. Please press the button on your phone that best represents your response to the following questions. To repeat any question press the star key.

Using a five point scale, where 5 is highly satisfied, 4 is satisfied, 3 is neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 2 is dissatisfied, and 1 s highly dissatisfied, please rate your overall experience with this Sonic Drive In.

That's always the same. Store #5288 always gets a 5 from me on the first question. Its just that good.

If your survey is short you get these two questions and then you're done:
Taste of your food or beverage. (5 woot)
The Speed of service. (It ranges from 5 to 3 at #5288. They get really busy around happy hour and are very understaffed n the mornings so its not their fault. I try for 4 when I know they can't help it.)

A long one is always changing but usually includes at least 10 questions and a part where you have to say something.
The second question is always:
What time of day did you visit this sonic Drive in?
And then gives you choices like, 7 to 11 am press one, ect.
I can never remember of course, my memory is really bad*, but they have it printed on the receipt... In military time >< It takes me forever to figure it out.


*Right so I've got a really bad memory, and people who know me will not believe at all that i pulled all the survey stuff strait memory. Just goes to show how much I do this thing ><

Anyway today was rather uneventful. I didn't get the same lady I usually do in the morning. I love my morning lady. But the girl I got was still friendly.
Morning lady kicks ass! She's always short handed, can tell its just her and the cook. So she's gotta take orders and be the carhop while also opening the store up and doing things that she's gotta do that I, as a customer, will never really know about.
I love her attitude! <3
After my nap I played some Video games until I needed a refill.

OH!
IMPORTANT!
I'm setting out the rules to you!
These are my rules that made up cause I drink ALOT.
I only allow myself 1 refill if the drink was free. Its only right to limit yourself when you're getting a treat like that.
If you pay for it, by all means go to town and get your moneys worth.
But if its free remember that it is a company and they need moneys to work.
Every now and then I break my rule if I'm dreadfully thirsty. But its not often.

Well um... that's it for now.

The Idea

Heya!

Most people know me as Happy, some as Lengna, but the people at Sonic store #5288 know me as The Raspberry Diet Coke Girl.

I'm at the sonic just about every day, some times 2 or 3 times a day.

We used to live right next door to the other sonic here, but we moved in November of last year to a house all our own! So no skipping outside over to Sonic every five seconds for a drink ;p

But the other sonic (the better one in my opinion) is right near the wal-mart where Chi (my squidface squeezy one) works, so I swing by on the way home from dropping him off and get myself a Route 44 Raspberry Diet Coke. Every day. I can due this cheaply due to amassing free coupons by doing the call in survey they have going. (Gonna cry a river of tears when they stop that.)

Some times I go after or during his lunch, or after picking him up as well.

So rar! That's why I've got the nickname. Yup. I've been stopped at other resteraunts by the employees with a "Hey! Raspbrry Diet Coke!" I though it was funny, but I think the girl was embarrassed the next day.
I like her. She's cute and friendly and wears nifty earrings.

Anyway I thought it might be fun to have a blog about gong to Sonic ><
Yeah well we'll see huh?

Yume said she'd like it and that's good enough for me ;p

I guess we could say I'm starting the blog to commemorate me spoooon!
Neeee!
I got the glowy spoon with the Route44 on the top fro the kids meal right now.
*wiggle* When I asked them if they had them in yet they knew just the one I wanted!


So that's the end of blog one!
Rar!!
