We like to go to Sonic on Half Price Burger night, but I have discovered, if I order a hamburger without cheese, I am charged the price of a cheeseburger.

Plus, if you order a combo, you get charged full price for the tots and drink, and then a credit for the half price (cheese)burger.

What gives?? Why should I have to pay for cheese if I don't want it? There is not a plain hamburger on the menu--you have to order a 'no cheese' cheeseburger!

By the time I pay for the cheese and full price for drinks and tots--it isn't any better deal than any other time at Sonic.

This is just a way to scam the customer. Everywhere else, cheese costs extra!

I can't believe I am the only one to complain about this!

in all fairness their burger with cheese is comparable in price to other places burgers so if you think the burger costs to much don't go to sonic.

You are correct and standing firmly on righteous indignation... there or those with lactose intolerance and those of the Jewish faith that are SICK of of being forced to pay for cheese we donโ€™t want and canโ€™t eat! Who do we get to change this injustice!

Guest

It's half priced cheeseburger night. You also don't get corndogs, or coney's or drinks for half price.

You do not have to pay for cheese, you can still order a normal hamburger for regular price.

Complaining that they did not discount the exact order that you wanted discounted is childish. They are not required to give any discounts at any time.

Guest

Here is the new one i like, say you order a #12 COMBO since its a "#12" that makes it a combo right? or why would i say "#12"

Then you pay extra for the "medium drink and medium side" unless your paying attention!

The paying attention price is the price of the "Combo" $8.79 which comes with a medium drink and a medium fries.

The price if your not paying attention is the combo + a medium fries + a medium drink $13.90 with tax

Mark pockets the $4. or it goes into a tip jar they share at closing time?

Guest

I agree. Why should I have to order a cheeseburger, because the hamburger isn't on the menu. I tell Sonic to leave off the cheese and put it in the sack.

Guest

They don't put a "regular" hamburger on the menu because, well, do you know how many freaking items sonic sells? They can't possibly list every single item.

Common sense will tell you that you can get a hamburger from an establishment that sells cheeseburgers. As far as the price, my previous sonic store had a hamburger button, which did not charge you for cheese, but stores vary. The reason that you didn't get the combo discount is because you received the half price discount. Sonic doesn't double up on discounts.

You'll get whichever deal gives you the bigger discount. What do you expect from a fairly expensive fast food establishment?

Come on, people.

Guest

If you at least get ANY kind of discount, I wouldn't gripe. When I ordered a hamburger on half price cheeseburger night, they asked if I wanted cheese.

No. So they gave me no discount at all. I had to pay the full price. I get the same thing every time I go, so I know the price.

I'd rather get the discount then and there, but if they'd at least give me credit I'd be okay with it. I'd always tipped at least 1.50, but since then, they get whatever change I have left, be it nearly a buck or a penny.

Guest

They've had no hamburgers on the menu for year now but I just now(May 21,2013) got charged for cheese when I didn't want it. Up until now they had been subtracting the 50 cents but not anymore.

No more burgers from Sonic for me.

Guest

Half Price my butt.. They more then double the price give you a very tiny piece.I'll never go again.

$3.50 for a 99c size burger at BK...And it tasted like ***. i couldn't even tell there was mayo on it..The patty was tiny...Huge bun tho, I wanted the burger atleast close to the 1 in the picture it was about 1/3 the size in width and thickness...

Guest

What we could do is have them add more cheese, maybe 10 slices but refuse to pay for additional slices. I don't think it says anywhere that a cheeseburger constitutes as having only 1 slice!!!!!

Guest

I had the same discussion at Mcdonalds today and left without my order to only go across the street to Sonic and have the same thing happen, what gives. I know its only $0.50, but when I order add lettuce to quarter pounder and get charged $0.50 for lettuce and $0.50 for cheese minus the cheese thats ridiculous!!!!!

We need to contact corporate and have them add hamburger to the menu, don't know why they've discontinued hamburgers. Wonder what the Hamburglar thinks?????

Guest

you are not alone on this, i called the news on six kotv in tulsa ok

Guest

How much do you think that slice of cheese adds to the price. I bet it isn't anymore than fifty cents.

Pick the cheese off the burger. If you don't want the combo, they way it is order a la carte.

They still will charge you for the cheese, even if you order it all separate .... Such bs!
