I ordered a Route 44 Cherry Coke. The bottom fell out of the cup when I picked it up and wasted the drink everywhere because of their faulty cup.
I contacted the store and corporate with pictures and never heard one word. I just wanted the drink that was wasted everywhere replaced.
Have not and won’t be back. They had plenty of time to rectify this and the employees usually have an attitude.

It’s actually infuriating how they have the app blocked when you get there 😭 I just want to get a deal and it won’t work if you’re at the location just a heads up. Never happens at Decatur locations. Pulled in today took 10 minutes to add everything to my app and it won’t let me checkout. I just left. Not going here anymore.
