Masochistic or scientific?

After yesterday's scathing review I wondered two things.  Would I get over charged again or would my complaint mean something to Sonic.

As  you can see the price comes out to what is advertised but there are now two discount codes shown on the receipt instead of one.  I can see how with the number of specials they have at Sonic on a rolling basis how it would be difficult to remember all the new combinations of discounts and by default  you would just do the thing that makes the most sense.

Either that or this is the new pricing structure now that someone has "caught on" to what was happening.  Please notice the Route 44 discount has changed from .98 to .40 which is the difference in price between the medium drink that comes with the meal and the Route 44.  With the 'mistake' they make .25 off someone not paying attention.

My conclusion . . . eat somewhere else unless Sonic is your only option and then you should really look at the receipt and plan on an extra 15-20 minutes to talk to the manager if there are any problems.
