    They seriously gave me a burger with no hamburger patty. I paid extra for bacon, but bacon is all I got. I am deleting this app for good now because this is not the first time orders have been wrong. This is just the most ridiculous.

    I placed an order for a drink on the app at 10:45pm because the closing time indicated was 12am. I arrived to pickup my drink and check-in on the app at 11pm. After sitting for 15 mins and being the only person there they turn the lights out even though it's well before 12am. I catch one of the workers outside and ask about my drink. She has a terrible attitude and tells me I have to contact the app to get my money back because they closed at 11pm. I asked her if I could just get the drink I ordered and she says it hadn't been made even though I ordered it 15 mins before 11pm and the hours of operation indicate 12am not 11pm. She refused to provide me with the drink I ordered which I felt was ridiculous because I didn't order anything other than that. I will never return to this location the customer service is horrible.
