Picking up an order at 6:03pm on, Janurary 7th and I walked out at 6:43pm. Look at the cameras, why should it take 40 minutes? Watching the workers pretend to work and pretend how to use a fryer. Not mad DQ, just confused.

Really disappointed in this location lately. Today I ordered food for pickup and arrived at the store around the time the app said food would be ready. Went to the pick up counter like we usual.
Thinking they were just super busy, I waited at the counter for 10 minutes as many people came in, ordered their food, got their food and left.
All 4 employees walked past me several times without saying a word. 2 employees were running the register and making treats, 1 employee was pretending to be busy and the other employee was hiding in the back and then stocking cakes as a line formed.
It wasn’t until I stood in the order line that any of the employees bothered to acknowledge me and they didn’t even have the order ready, so overall about a 20 minute wait for a pick up/mobile order AFTER the promised ready by time.
The food has gone downhill and their blizzards were just sad:
Too much mustard on the burgers;
Oil for deep fryer needs to be changed ASAP, and
The blizzards were basically vanilla ice cream with a small spoonful of toppings.
Too bad, this location used to be awesome.

Im quite sure dairy queen policy is employees serving or preparing food are to wear hair restraints whether that be a hat, hair net or visor. The employees at this location never have hats on and the person serving your food normally has hair halfway down their back and in their face. At least tie your hair behind your head. It almost makes me lose my taste for ice cream when I look at your employees preparing food with no hats on.
