On the same day that Sonic, an Oklahoma City-based fast food chain, issued a statement against customers carrying guns at their restaurants, an employee at the company’s Topeka, Kan. store was robbed.
According to Topeka police, two males robbed a carhop on Friday afternoon, reports the Topeka Capitol-Journal. Sonic is unique among major fast food eateries in that it provides customers the option of having carhops bring orders to their vehicle.
While police said no guns were displayed by the robbers, the crime follows a new policy that the Oklahoma City-based company issued Friday.
“We’ve considered the views and desires of our customers and employees that staff the drive-ins across the country,” the company said, according to USA Today. “Accordingly, we’re asking that customers refrain from bringing guns onto our patios or into our indoor dining areas. With respect to the storage of guns in vehicles, we ask that our customers continue to honor local laws.”

What would be interesting is what would happen if some customer violated their policy and saved them during a robbery. Would they arrest the customer for trespassing or thank him/her?
You know the answer.
Every PC fast food joint who has an employee that trys to stop a robbery gets fired.
They would prosecute the CHL holder that tried to help.
What Sonic is basically saying is “we have no liability”
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
“That’s why they invented drive-ins and empty parking lots.”
Did you mean ‘drive-throughs’?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
Just be sure you pack some heat in the glove box. No doubt Sonic is a riskier place.
Great place for a car jacking.
The first thing that came to mind.
