If 500 people each spent $10 from 10-12 (or whenever you guys are there), Sonics would be running the cops out, not the "customers."
Sonics has maybe 2 cars in the lot everytime I get there... so they aren't making much business that night till everyone shows up. Not to mention you maybe see 3-5 people ordering through the drive-thru. So I don't think that's the case. Because the manager comes up when he has a problem and tells which people he needs to relate the message to. 500 people cannot fit in Sonics even if you tried. BTW, the lot is pretty clean when we get kicked out since we have to take our "SONICS" food and drinks with us. I do have the common courtesy to walk over to the trash can and throw away my garbage. Just like any other fast food joint they get small orders and big orders.
I bet if none of us would show up at that Sonics they'll be lucky enough to have 10-20 people order food for the whole night. Because its pretty dead when I get there and this is 8:30-9:00.
