| - Got a craving for late night ice cream, but most everything is shut down, so I ended up at Sonic. I pulled in about 11:30 and pushed the button to put in an order. Granted, the place was busy. But a couple minutes later, with no reply, I pushed the button again. A couple more minutes pass without even a hello. So I get this genius idea of going through the drive thru. I pull up behind a car and wait another few minutes. The passenger in the car gets out and walks up to the window, apparently they hadn't asked his order. He comes back frustrated, gets in the car and they drive off.
So I wait a couple more minutes at the drive thru window. Nothing. I pull up to the window. The people inside avoid eye contact. I hear a kid mention me. A lady says he should shut off the lights of the drive thru. It's 11:50 now and they close at 12. So, I pull back into the same spot I'd first pulled up in and push the button. Thirty seconds later, a guy actually answers.
"How are you tonight?"
"Is your drive thru broken?"
"Yeah. We got the light shut off now."
Okay. So I order a Strawberry Shake and a Dr. Pepper Freeze.
At 12:10 they bring it out. But it's a Strawberry Shake and a Grape Slush.
Press the button and get the chipper young man again. I explain that I ordered a Dr. Pepper Freeze. He says he'll get it right out.
Lady shows up with my "Dr. Pepper Slush."
I didn't even take it. "Dr. Pepper Freeze?
"Yeah it's Dr. Pepper and...slush?"
"Ice cream?"
"Ice cream? Like a cream slush?"
"Um...Dr. Pepper and Ice Cream."
"Like a float?"
"yeah but blended."
"Oh, so like a blended float."
"Okay, sure. Let's try that."
