Anyone Know Whats Going On With Sonic????

Sorry if it’s been covered already but has Sonic migrated to a diferent MSC? The ones on the old MSC seem to be really scattershot.

There are a lot of Sonics in San Angelo and San Antonio. Nothing in my tuu oh WM where there are like 9 locations in the area.

What is 5g?

5g=Five Guys. If you don't know who the MSC is for 5g and you've been on the board for 3 years...you are a lost cause at this point :-P

Well that was rude.

Depending on where you live, some locations may not have moved. It may show up as Sonic Partners now.

The new MSC is the one with the chicken fingers, as well.

Thanks for the info. Sonic used to have 3 different MSCs doing their shops. I did most through a Prophet based MSC. Paid better from the start. Scheduler was accessible.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

Well there are no Sonics in my area with the 5 G mystery shop.. I still get the the daily emails from them.

There are no Sonic's with the other site in my area (There are 5 of them) yet there is one that is about 20 miles from me

I email them asking about it and they never replied

So the Sonic's will return to the Sassie site in December? Hopefully

ETA: How come they never replied to my email about me asking about Sonic's but yet there is one that is about 20 miles away ??

Likely because they expect you to infer from the heading of "Sonic Partners" that the program is now done on a franchise-basis, and not all franchises are participating.

If the location down the street is never on the job board, then the logical conclusion is that that franchisee chooses not to participate in the mystery shopping program.

The MSC employee more than likely rolled their eyes and hit 'delete' on your email.

Only problem with Sonic is that the burgers are inedible.

well, I went looking for Sonic shops because I saw this thread. There are none, zero, on either of the last two MSC's websites. There were a few on the MSC with 5Guys a few days ago, with $5 pay and $10 reimbursement, but they are all gone, and I doubt they were shopped..

I don't know what's going on.

Oh I find them to be decent but yeah, doing a route of them is kind of bleech.

I guess I'm spoiled in my area. I didn't know there were all of these differences. Even I'm confused now.

"Sonic Partners" on The Blob are still out there. The location one town over is bonused $3.

In my area, I've been surprised that the Sonic Partners have been going at base. Usually, the more heavily bonused ones in the past.

I chuckled at what I perceived to be a well-deserved barb.

Have synthesizers, will travel...

The only part of the Sonic reimbursement that is valuable to me is the drink. For health reasons, I don't eat more than a couple of the fries or tots. The tots, when fresh, are excellent, and it takes a lot of willpower to not eat them. I find their burgers to be barely OK at their best, and awful at their worst. I also find that the time goals that Sonic has for their orders make it difficult to deliver a hot and fresh burger. The beef quality is bleh, so when they are not fresh they are about as bad as can be imagined. Usually, when I get a hot and fresh burger, it takes a few minutes more than the time goal. From a consumer standpoint, at any restaurant, I would rather wait a few minutes more for a hot and fresh product. Unfortunately, fast food companies value speed over quality.

A Sonic shop gets me a giant diet soda, two tator tots, and a few bites of lettuce, tomato, and pickle. Therefore, I will only do them when bonused enough that the fee plus a drink is worth the time, effort, and travel.

the company who does 5g not handling account with Sonic. Another large MSC did Sonic. Bit I do not remember seen such shops for few months

Shopping Eastern Pennsylvania since 2009

I saw Sonic from the Msc that also do Chinese fast food in the past, but not this month. I also don't seems to see it with the MSC that does 5G/chicken fingers....

Seems like everyone is getting mixed results based on their area.

Southern California has the "sonic partners" done with the chinese fast food MSC.

The regular sonics are done with the 5G/Raising Canes MSC in greater Phoenix area.

Geez. Talk about a picky eater

They rarely respond to any emails, don't take it personally!

I received a Sonic email (Not the daily email, but the one that send out every so often) from the 5 Guys MC saying that there was one in my area.. Well, the Sonic in my area is about 30 minutes away

How is 30 miles in my area? Thought in my area was about 5 miles?

I meant to say the non 5 Guys MSC. Sorry I was not clear

I heard that Sonic was going back to the 5G company but I haven't seen any since they disappeared from the Sassie company. I prefer the 5G company anyways since you can request higher pay and know exactly what dates are available. The Sassie company has been doing this thing where they list the shop on the board and all the dates are greyed out, sometimes for weeks, and it drives me nuts. Just give me the available dates and let me select it, even if it's a couple weeks out.

Has anyone ever been deactivated by thus msc?
