‘I’m a survivor’: Sonic worker celebrates clocking out after shift. Viewers everywhere are triggered by that feeling
A woman's video about the feeling she gets clocking out from her job at Sonic has resonated with many viewers—and not in an exclusively positive way.
In her video, 18-year-old Sonic manager @crazyspamshii lip-syncs to a section of the song "I'm a Survivor" by Reba McEntire, most commonly associated with her TV show, Reba. A text overlay on the video indicates that this is how she feels clocking out at the end of her shift at the curb service restaurant.
The video has drawn over 415,000 views as of Wednesday morning.
The Daily Dot has reached out to @crazyspamshii via a comment on the video, as other means of contact were not available.
