The employee at the first window rushed us while we were ordering, yet when we pulled up to pay, he appeared to be engaged in a personal conversation on his phone.
There was a complete lack of customer service. He took our card without saying a word, did not acknowledge us, and handed it back just as silently. No greeting, no confirmation, no professionalism. At the time, no one else was around him, yet we could hear him speaking about unrelated and inappropriate topics instead of focusing on customers.
I understand everyone has off days, but basic courtesy and attention to customers should still be a priority. This experience made us feel rushed, ignored, and uncomfortable, and it’s not what you expect from a business serving the public. This happens on 1/6/2026 at 7:51pm if you would like to track what employee this was.
