I remember the roller skates

So when I came to work for Sonic a LONG time ago you had the choice of wearing skates when you were a car hop. You didn't have to, but a lot of people said you made more tips if you did so, of course, I took up the challenge. I figured how hard could it be? Well for me it turned out...VERY. I have two left feet and absolutely zero coordination. It was going ok until I was skating a little too fast one day and ended up dumping a shake all over the hood of this man's shiny convertible. I don't remember what kind of car it was I just remember him giving me this death stare. He opened the door, got out and was dead silent at first. I wanted to run but with the stupid skates, I wouldn't have stood a chance. He took a deep breath and said it was ok that these things happened. I was shocked. I got some water and a clean rag and he helped me wipe it up. Sonic bought him a shake on the house and I learned a valuable lesson. Never wear rollerskates at work ;)

I feel like skates plus holding food would end in disaster for me, haha. People spill things, it definitely happens! It's how we are able to continue after we fall that matters!

That was nice he didn't get upset because in some of my past jobs people definitely would have been! It's good Sonic handled it like that. Very professional.

All part of the charm of Sonic. I remember A & W Rootbeer too. I love car hops and the skates. Makes it so fun when you dine at places like that!
