    Called the store because they forgot my sauce as they do every single time- saw a guy look up the phone and put it down. Now I have to sit in line a second time to get my sauce :))))))

    Went through the drive through literally only go a chili cheese coney and tots guy at the window super not friendly; asked for mustard and ketchup he gave me 2 packs mustard no ketchup . While sitting at the window noticed there was another woman working in literally sweat pants and a hoodie. No fork for my coney either. Everytime I’ve gone here the workers have been rude and I literally avoid it until I’m just so sick of everything else around

    Overfilled my milkshake and then didn’t put the lid on it, so when they handed it to me it proceeded to spill all over my hands and truck and I had to ask twice for some napkins. Ridiculous.
