    Went to this location at like 8 PM just a while ago, I got all my food and got a Blue Raspberry Slushy with nerds. However, turns out they didn’t put the nerds into the slushy which I figured out when I took the lid off and was greeted with black specs all in the drink. Also, not to mention the smart attitude I was greeted with when I pressed the red button and had to wait about 40 minutes for my food.
