Recently had lunch at Sonic Drive-in, Joplin, MO , the one on 32nd Street. I had lunch with a co-worker. We placed our orders seperately. When the orders arrived, I paid with mine with a debit card. Apparantly the machine was not working, and worker took my debit card inside to make the transaction. My coworker paid cash for her meal, which by the way was wrong, so the food was taken back inside while we waited for more. The employee came back with my debit card receipt which was correct. We had to wait on the one meal quite awhile. I was done eating when the meal came out. My coworker asked the employee about her meal being free, since she had waited so long. He replied that it had been couponed off. We did not know what this meant.
I bank online, and happened to be checking my account balance, when I noticed that I had 2 debits for Sonic today. I had paid for mine and also paid for my coworkers, which she had already paid cash for. I called the sonic drivein, and the comanager was very rude to me. She told me that i would have to prove with bank records that i had paid for both meals, because she did not know what had happened outside. I was told they have no way of checking the debit records. I tried to stress to the comanager, the employee took payment twice, more than likely putting the cash in his pocket. I got no where with this comanager. Talk about ripping you off. How many other people is this employee stealing from?
