    They consistently open later than posted. At the drive-thru, you can be left waiting for about 15 minutes without knowing if anyone is actually there. When you pull up to the window to check, you see an employee counting money who doesn’t even acknowledge you. When service finally begins, there is no apology or even a simple “good morning.” On top of that, you always have to double-check your order because something is often missing, or the sandwich is not prepared the way it was requested.

    I'm posting this due to the fact that I did not get what I asked for. It happens every once in a while and it's not the biggest problem in the world rather an inconvenience. What is the biggest problem in the world is that when I called the store I was going to turn around and go back but I could not get a hold of the store! The call went to a customer service line. It took me almost 15 minutes to accomplish what I needed to get done just to inform them that I had not gotten what I asked for. I don't believe we're in a time where we should have to count on a machine to sort out a problem that has to do with a specific location when it's such a simple resolution. Therefore I'm giving this low review not for the service because the people that are wonderful and nice the food is always good. I'm giving a bad review because if you do have a problem you can't call a human being, you get a machine to handle your situation which I think is just lazy cheap and uncalled for. I guess the hospitality business is no longer the hospitality business just a computerized food vending machine.
