Mustard must be worth its weight in gold.  I don't know about you, but where I come from, mustard is the standard condiment for a corn dog.  So the first time I drove through this particular Sonic location, it didn't occur to me that I'd have to ask for it.  I'd never had to at any other Sonic I've been to.  And then I got home and ended up feeding my corndogs to my dog because I just can't eat them without mustard.  

So the next time I went, I reminded the guy on the other end of the speaker to make sure I got mustard.  And what do you know?  No mustard in the bag.  

Same thing the next two times I stopped.  Yes, you'd think I would have learned my lesson.  But you'd also think that the odds would be in favor of this joint remembering something at least ONCE.  No dice.

So today I pulled up and ordered my usual.  The speaker dude actually asked me if I wanted mustard.  Why, yes! Thank God! You do have mustard, and you're actually offering it to me?  It's a miracle!  Um...no, it's not.

Guess what wasn't in my bag when I got home.  Yep, mustard.  Of course, I got wise and bought a giant bottle at the grocery store a while back.  Yeah, I've outsmarted the mustard hoarders at the Manor Sonic.

Okay, so I've gone on a rant about mustard, but what it really boils down to is service.  They've effectively screwed up my order every time that I asked for something as simple as a standard condiment.  No matter what time of day, no matter who my carhop is, no matter how busy they are, they get it wrong.  

I have now given up on them.  They are either too dumb, too careless, or too attached to their mustard supply to keep my business.  God forbid someone order a hamburger.  They'd probably forget the bun.
