Seems to be a consistent theme and I see in the message. Dairy Queen says please give us another chance three months later you’re still making peanut butter parfaits and Sundaes with nothing on them. Easy fix but must not be important. I can confirm it’s still happening. I will not be back to this location or maybe any Dairy Queen. Expensive for nothing

Got my order wrong charged me for BBQ sauce and didn't give me my chicken strips. Why would I pay 80 cents for BBQ sauce I had nothing to dip in it.

When I walked in, the workers were sitting on the front counter tops where they place your food. After placing my order, she entered the cash incorrectly and did not know how to issue my change. The manager, who too was a teenager, was clueless and voided the transaction. The problem is that I used a coupon that you can only scan once and she could not find a solution to give me my item for the sale price. She wanted my to pay the full price. Right...like that was going to happen. Really, you should not have to be forced to use debit or credit cards to make purchases!!!

Waited 20 minutes for three blizzards. That were melted and only 3/4 of the way full. Definitely not worth the money that was spent. Will not be going back.

Ordered 2 blizzards but by the time I get up to the window to get them they are completely melted. If there is going to be a wait in the drive thru don’t make the blizzards and just let them sit and melt.
