I had the habit of going to Sonic every Saturday for breakfast on my way to work for at least a year. My order was the same every week: A super Sonic breakfast burrito combo with no sausage. I got the tots and a large ice tea with the combo. The large ice tea raised the combo price a little. Over time I began to dislike the oil the tots were cooked in. Maybe my personal taste changed, maybe they changed the brand of their cooking oil or maybe they don't change it often enough. Whatever the reason, the oil gives the tots an unpleasant taste. The thing that annoyed me enough to stop my Saturday morning trek to Sonic was that every week for my exact same order I was charged a different price. Granted it was always within about fifteen cents, but that's not the point. If the cashiers cannot get the price right, how much extra money is Sonic raking in each day? One day I ordered a small tot with the combo even though it comes with a medium size. The order rang up as $1.00 more then usual. I asked why and was told that it was because I ordered a small tot. So, it was $1.00 more for LESS food. Hmmm I just took the medium tots and threw some away. I hate to waste food. I finally got tired of this and switched my Saturday morning breakfast out for oatmeal at the McDonalds across the street. I have to say that I am very embarrassed to admit that I like anything that is served by McDonalds, but their oatmeal is great.
