    Olivia at this location rang up my order wrong charging me extra, she argued with me when I tried to say that was wrong, then after that she didnt give me my receipt or change. That was all 12/20/25. I went back on 12/21/25 got my my money back and was told she would be corrected. I went in on 12/22/25 and had a mobile order but when she went to hand it to me she rudely set it on the counter and practically tossed my straw at me. I also tried to politely say thank you and she didnt speak to me at all.

    Rude staff at this location. I placed a mobile order and arrived to check in at a stall. No signs, nothing on the app that shows the stalls close at 10. Employee comes out to tell me that stalls close at 10pm and I need to go through the drive thru. She said for “future reference” that I needed to know for next time. I asked her if I needed to go through or not since the app checked me in. She tells me to do whatever I wanted and rolled her eyes to hop on her cell phone and walk to the sidewalk. I go through the drive thru and mention I had a mobile order. NOTHING was ready at all. The other employee hands me a bag and was like are you missing anything else and I’m like yeah. I read out the other 4 things I’m missing and he gets them made. Not busy at all. Just rude staff and nothing was good about what we ordered. I will not return to this location as this place is staffed with the rudest people.
