We are reinforcing our policies, including frequent and proper handwashing, along with the proper utilization and changing of gloves as we continue to serve our guests.

Stopped in here to eat lunch. I drive a commercial vehicle and all I wanted to do is wash my hands since I drive a garbage truck. Got told there was no bathroom but on the backside of the building there is one. When I pointed it out to the shift manager she told me I couldn't use it. If you have an option to eat onsite it is required to have a bathroom for guests. You are in violation of Fla. Stat. § 509.221.

I come to this Checkers a decent amount because I work close by and overall it's ok. But what store or restaurant doesn't give you your receipt? I asked the girl at the window for my receipt and she told me that they don't give receipts out anymore. I'm sorry but I'm not okay with this. What if something is wrong with my order or what if I'm missing something and I need to go back but I don't have a receipt? I also do the receipt apps and I want my receipt. It's nothing that the employees did but this store's manager, needs to start giving customers their receipts.

This place is always fast with the food and the quality is consistent. Time of day has no impact on either of these things. I am not a fan of the AI ordering through the drive through, but getting what I ordered in the bag does not seem to be impacted, so I accept it.
