    I went yesterday with some of my senior friends. They didn’t have tea or coffee. The Staff did not seem bothered by it at all. So I didn’t order anything. You can get burgers, fries, pop, water, but no tea or coffee. This place gets a definite Fail.

    Just came here last minute for food. Nothing unusual or anything unique. Just came to grab a couple burgers and a parfait. Yet somehow the employee managed to see very unpleasant, and uninviting. I felt almost like a nuisance just for existing. Not a normal interaction at a Dairy Queen.
