If your path dictates you walk through hell, do it as though you own the place. -unknown

Which site is offering Sonic and Jersey Mikes jobs?
With a small amount of effort you could sign up with MSCs and find at least one of those clients.

I used to get the footlong Coney. I'm sad now! But the burgers sound amazing so no complaints here. Also bummed that I cannot order onion rings for my side. But all is good. I appreciate the opportunities. Have not shopped Sonic since May, 2023, so I just reviewed the shopper requirements for my January 2024 shop. : )
I remember several years ago (with the old MSC), I was able to get the bacon club toaster on Texas Toast.
I love their tots. Hope you enjoy your shop snow

The bacon cheeseburger toaster was my go to, until they took it off the list. That garlic burger is awful. I had a bite of my son's the other day and it's just plain nasty. I have had decent Super Sonic cheeseburgers before, but that isn't the norm. I may just leave off Sonic shops for a while, I never do very many anyway, skipping them won't be a big deal.
I had to try the Garlic Butter burger just to see. Left off the mayo as some had suggested. The bag was so greasy I thought it was from 5 Guys. 
But I did not care for the salty, garlicky, flavor.

Your comment about the greasy 5 guys bags is so spot on! Incidentally, does anyone know if 5G is still being shopped? I used to do them all the time, but now it doesn't even show up anywhere on the job board of the place that used to host Sonic shops as well.
The home of the grease bag is definitely still shopped. I just did one a week ago.

I know we can not do this but it would be if we can get the garlic butter on the side.
There are some places that put tons of mustard, mayo, etc. on their burgers . If they put to much, it makes its to runny . Gross
For Sonic, are we allowed to order other items? I know there are required items, but can we order more if we want?
Ordering anything beyond an approved appetizer, approved side, and an approved drink is a no-no. It's 1/1/1.@Beachbabiesmom wrote:

I'll take 'something you never expect to experience at Sonic' for $100, Alex.
What is 'while taking your exterior photo, you're verbally confronted by a homeless person who is in a stall with his shopping cart'?
And then there was the whole conundrum of whether to consider him in the count of how many cars were in the stalls. I mean, wheels were involved, so....

I will only do the drive-through, not the drive-in. They always want to know exactly, like to the second, how long it took to do various aspects of the shop. For the most part, I will remember what time I pulled in and what time I left. Whatever time has elapsed, I will just break that into estimated increments. The receipt always has a timestamp on it so that helps divide up the time intervals.
I just did a sonic shop two days ago, and I tried using my stopwatch on my iPhone where I hit the interval button every time a shop event happened. That wasn’t too obtrusive and it kind of made it easier to piece things together.
There is a sonic less than a mile away from me and I tend to grab the drive-through shops only because you gotta eat something so I might as well eat for free. They are not my favorite, though, and I would never go there if I was paying out of my own pocket because there’s many other options also within a mile. This is the kind of shop where it’s nice because you can do a lot of them and once you’ve done a few, it is easy to remember what needs to be done. Aside from the very specific timing breakdown, the requirements are actually pretty minimal.

On the timing I use my cell phone pictures. I take a picture each time a timing is required. The timing does not have to be down to the exact second.
You can use Mystery Shopwatch. Just hit the "add marker" button at each timing point! For longer shops where I might now know why I marked that particular time, I keep a list of timings I have to get and write down each one quick via Mystery Shopwatch. It times to the 10th of a second too!
I couldn't find anything in the Apple store under that name.@kimkenkat wrote:
