    No one around had to call out, two people came to tell me someone would be around to help me. A third noticed me and sent the first to take my order. Time before I actually got service 8ish minutes.

    I have been sitting in the drive through for almost an hour, at least 45 minutes and I still do not have my sandwich and salad that I preordered to pick up in the drive through. I have been at the window for at least ten minutes just waiting for my order. I never write reviews but this was just too insane not to share🤷‍♀️

    It shouldn’t take over 45 minutes to make a grilled cheese and smoothie that was pre ordered. Period.

    Outdoor lights were not on nor were lights in drive through. I arrived at 6:45pm and this location closes at 9pm. I was then told to drive forward after paying because it’s “taking too long” without receiving the food I paid for. I think it’s a fair assumption that the staff were trying to appear closed so they could get out early in a Friday afternoon. I’ve already paid and can’t leave, it’s been about 20 minutes.

    Gross. Asked for bananas and this is what we got. Who in their right mind would think it’s ok to put bananas like this in someone’s order. Fruit cups were not ripe at all and the yogurt cups were barely filled half way. What a disappointment.
