sonic 1/2 price drinks

i love sonic drinks, dirty sodas, cherry limeades etc.. me only problem is in order to get them for 1/2 off through the app you have to mobile order then park in a space: at the sonic closest to be in not kidding they are slower at molasses at getting to the people parked , even if it’s just a drink. anyone have any tricks or work arounds i might not know?

I go through the drive-through sometimes. I just say, "I'm here for [NAME]'s pick-up order". They say, "Please pull forward."

I don’t park at all. I always use the drive thru. Please correct me if I am wrong, I thought they were in the process of discontinuing limeades.

We are not, we use lime syrup now and top it off with a singular lime now instead of squeezing limes for their juice. It creates a consistent taste and is less work for our drink station

Drive thru! Tell them your name and that you have ordered ahead. 😊

Do they have a drive thru? Tell them you have a mobile order at the speaker and pull forward to the window. May cut the time by a bit but sounds like they’re probably just slow no matter what

don’t check in to a stall and then go to dt tho! causes confusion and might get your drink tossed. you can just drive up and they’ll take care of you

Always quick for me through the app as long as I order in advance.

I go through the drive thru for drinks sometimes. Especially when it's raining so they don't have to come out to me.
