FAST food chain staff staged mass walkouts at three restaurants after leaving scathing notes blasting their "terrible" and "racist" bosses.

Entire work crews at Sonic Drive-In stores in Ohio quit, claiming new management had treated them like "sh*t".

In one brutal letter, taped to the door of a restaurant in Circleville, employees said they were "all off to better things" before signing off with: "To the New Owners F**k You."

The "Ex Sonic Crew" members explained how they "refused" to work for the company any longer due to "terrible management".

According to reports, stores in Lancaster and Grove City also suffered complete staff walkouts after new management took over.

Staff at the chain's Lancaster restaurant also left the management team a note, saying: "You are the trashiest company we have ever seen. You are a joke. You say racist things, you put people down and make them feel below you."

'OFF TO BETTER THINGS'
An anonymous source told Scioto Post: "Circleville, Lancaster, and Grove City crews have all walked out and quit after the franchise was bought out by corporate.

"The regional director, two district managers and four general managers have all been let go after working for the company for seven-plus years."

According to the news outlet, staff claimed their wages were reduced from at or near-minimum wage to £3.00 an hour for tipped employees.

It is unclear whether the stores will remain closed or if employees will return.

But in its statement to Fox News, Sonic Drive-In said: "We recognise that changes like this can be difficult for employees to understand, and most current employees were offered the opportunity to continue working at the drive-in.

"Under new management, guests and the community can look forward to improved service and the famous food, beverages, and treats for which SONIC is known.
"Employees working for the local drive-in can look forward to fun, fast-paced work on which they can build a career, if they choose.

"No wage rates at any level decreased in this transition, although SONIC carhops often receive tips in addition to their wages."
