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.
The point I'm trying to make is the bottom line. If having a big crowd increase revenue proportionally then Sonics will love having the crowd and they will tell the cops to back off. But if having that crowd runs business off then they will keep the cop. It's business.
And I've been to Sonics on a Saturday night. 500 people could easily flow through there in a two hour span. Unfortunately they don't all spend money.
