- LVLesley ValdezDec 31, 20251.0Absolutely never coming back. I’m pregnant and get off at 9pm from work and all I crave is a Reese’s blast after work and I manage to get there between 9:30-9:45 every time since it’s on my way home and the different women who taken my order have no problem making the blast on the last hour of their shift. However, today a guy took my order and he just said that they’re only making drinks and no ice cream since they’re about a close..I got there at 9:38 pm. A majority of us have all worked food and we know how the last hour can be right before closing. Leave it to a “man” to not be hard worker. The dude just didn’t want to take my order because he doesn’t work hard as his other female coworkers do and was too lazy to make an ice cream 22 minutes before closing when I been served 10 minutes before closing. I guess I’ll be going to McDonald’s across the street to get my ice cream or jack in the box..
- EMErik MartinezDec 31, 20251.0Should change the hours of closing to 9:30pm since they dont serve ice cream once that time hits
- AMArlette MusselmanDec 22, 20255.0Awesome service with a smile! Manager Tommy is dedicated to making sure that the customer is happy by making food with love! You can taste the difference when he makes the food ❤️ Keep Rocking On Tommy🤩
