Just thought id say being from canada and walking in the store to be ignored. Drive thru was more important. Girl comes from out back looks at me and I guess goes on break. Guy in back didnt even say I be right there.only after I said outloud am I on ignore! Still took another 8 minutes to get served. Never again.

Pulled up to the drive through ordering screen, waited for 5 minutes for someone to at least acknowledge me. I had assumed the ordering screen was not working, so I backed up and pulled into the next stall over. Finally someone acknowledged me and said they'd be right with me. Waited another 10 minutes. Decided to just pull to the window since I was only ordering a drink, surely they could just put my order in. Employee opens the window, and asks if I have an online order. I said no and asked for the drink, she proceeds to tell me "you're gonna have to pull around to order" in the snarkiest tone and instantly closes the window. Mind you, this place was dead, no cars but me in the drive through, no reason to be this slow at service. Decided wasn't worth ordering and left, will not be returning.

Unbelievably slow for noon on a weekday with hardly any customers. Food was good. No one gave me or offered a receipt.
