Pulled in drive thru at 945 waiting for 15 mins zero response. Went inside had both employees look at me, proceed to ignore me and then after another 10 min wait tell me to order at the kiosk behind me.

I was there as a door dasher. In that time, I heard a black girl in the back saying,"that woman doesn't know what she wants." & "Door dashes can wait!" I've delivered from there a lot. The idea that I can wait, after being there a half hour, upsets me. What if that was for my family? Or if I had ordered and was diabetic and needed something right away. Terrible workers and services today.

I realize some folks work hard for little pay, still, that shouldn't stop you from having some pride in your job. It isn't the customers fault. If you don't have customers, there is no job. The customer service is subpar. Not friendly- I'dgive a zero if I could. Heard them say to a dasher that doordash orders can wait. What the helly? Doordashers are rated by their service and it affects their pay. If you're bringing an order late, you get a bad review- which affects your pay. It's bothersome because I've also ordered through doordash and spend the extra for the convenience of not going out, but knowing that they really don't gaf when I get my food that's already paid for is upsetting.

They need to bring back the good coloration. Looks grim. I like that they don't use old meat anymore. Floors were clean. Bathrooms sticky. Service was quick and fundamental.
