Sonic

January 8th, 2010

Things are changing and it is nowhere more evident than at the Tyler Sonic drive through. During the drive through and drive up restaurant hay day of the nineteen fifties the average suburban family survived exclusively on root beer floats and cheeseburgers, congregating at the Sonic, like desert wildlife nourishing their bodies in the watering hole’s life giving root beer floats and cheeseburgers. Any given night at the Sonic was nothing less than the beginning of a summer long drag race musical.

These days, however, Sonic blends into the multitude of fast food chains all trying desperately to relive the same era. But no matter how bad everyone wants to go back to the nineteen fifties we will eventually have to accept our fate instead of living in the fast food past. This brings us to the denial facing Sonic, which is mainly that it sees itself as some sort of quality restaurant.

Unfortunately, Sonic has spent the money required for this on its comedy abortion, “two guys in a car commercial” shoveled down my eye throat three or four times a day. To switch topics for one second, there are about six hundred thousand students out there who could make a better commercial with nothing but their iPhones. But no number of eager undervalued students could salvage Sonics mediocre at best menu. You see, when you take out of account the things that are impossible to do wrong, such as, corn dogs and milkshakes, Sonic is revealed as nothing more than a slightly above average McDonalds, and no one should eat at McDonalds.

Wendy’s Headache

January 4th, 2010

 

Fast food is good for one thing, fast cheap food for the person on the go. You think that it would be very important to be accurate filling a costumer’s full order. Rarely has Wendy’s  in Tyler Texas gotten my order right with out me having to go into the store to correct their mistakes. Even if you clearly state your simple order, they still seem to not understand.

One day I went out to eat with my dad to Wendy’s as I walked up to the counter I asked a simple question, “what dressing do you have for your salads?” The question was simple enough but it was even more simple since the young man had the list of dressings right in front of him. He stumbled through every word. Not to critisize the young man but I have never heard of a dressing called “veng…van…whatever that is”. If an employee cannot read the menu leave them to flip the patties.

One of the best things about Wendy’s is the famous frosty. Being such a popular menu item you would think that it would be available, at the Lindale Wendy’s (right off the interstate) seems like it’s ice cream machine is always out of order. But this little issue is just one of the many things wrong with this fast food store. The employees are extremely rude. More accounts than one have I been gripped at because they did not get my order right. I have worked at places that I did not want to work, and dreaded going to work as much as the next guy, but you smile and be polite, and don’t take your issues out on costumers.

I have found that every once in awhile you can get something that tastes somewhat like food at Wendy’s. I despise the service and attitude at this fast food chain its ridiculous! I know each store should be different with a different attitude, but some how it’s the over-all attitude of the food chain.

If you are trying to get your food and go on your way, I would skip Wendy’s. If you want what you ordered without headache and without having to go into the store to correct their mistakes about three different times, Wendy’s is not your restaurant.
