Ordered flavored water 4:11
After 20 min I flagged someone down. carhop saying they don’t have my order. Ordered on app but somehow overlooked yet I’ve been checked in at a stall.
Update 4:41 sent someone else out here to take a picture of my drink to go make it….
I will be going back to my Hixson location 2x per day for my drink since I live in between both. Not a good experience.
