    I just had a coworker being me a shake from here. It was a cheesecake master shake add caramel. The caramel was a tiny drizzle on top, that's fine, that must be normal. The whipped cream was not cream it was whipped topping, that's fine, I don't expect much from fast food. They left off my cherry, probably because my coworker didn't want theirs, although they did that to help tell the shakes apart. What really did it for me was that they didn't mix the shake. My shake tasted plain, which i thought was normal, until I got to my last bite. It tasted like a mouthful of chemical blue cheese. It's been about an hour since I ate my shake and I can still smell it, like it's in my sinuses. That was a nasty trick, like Harry Potter beans... surprise. Also they lied about the food being ready, which messed up our 30 minutes lunch breaks. Not impressed, no thank you.
