I feel for this manager he is just trying to do his job… A confused man who goes by Eden Torres went to a Sonic’s and was triggered after some of the staff referred to him as a sir. Torres then demanded to speak to a manager. The manager tried to reason with Torres but he wasn’t having it. At one point the manager asked Torres what gender he goes by and Torres told him to basically guess and let’s just say he was not happy with the manager’s answer.
Watch The Clip Below.

Sonic’s replied to the video.
“Eden, we have a strict anti-discrimination policy and take this very seriously. We launched an immediate investigation into the incident, and we have reached out to you via TikTok to gather more information needed to complete the investigation. Please feel free to DM us here.”
Torres commented about the incident on Twitter indicating that he didn’t want anyone fired but instead trained.
“The manager of this Sonic, told me, it’s ok that I’m gay. I’m not gay. I’m trans. There is a difference between sexuality & gender identity. Clearly, the manager doesn’t know this. That’s ok but he can learn. Clearly, I’m not the only one who had issues. Don’t fire him, train him.”
People on social media lit Torres up for asking the manager to assume gender, but then getting upset when he said he looked like a man.
“So the guy asks your pronouns (I thought you all wanted this) you then ask him to assume what he thinks you are (I thought you weren’t supposed to do that?) and then you get pissed at the answer. Literally, there was no way the guy could have won,” one user wrote.
“The employee asked you what you wanted to be called. Instead of answering, you told him to assume. When he did what you asked, you got upset. You had a chance to be called what you wanted but chose not to. This guy isn’t paid enough to put up with you,” another user tweeted.
This manager should get a raise but seeing as how Sonic’s was responding, he may lose his job. He asked Torres what he wanted to be called and Torres refused to answer…That’s on him.
