    Horrible experience! I went last night to get cheese sticks and a burger. Got to the window and was asked cash or card which was odd. Gave them my card then after it was swiped they claimed their system was moving slow. They kept telling me that my card didn’t go through and I repeatedly told l them that it was pending on my side. The short lady with the gray cornrows decides to “cancel” and “refund my order”. I explained if their machine was moving so slow to the point you have to ask cash or card you could have just told me and all of this could have been avoided. BY THE WAY, this morning I woke up to the transaction actually going through! So ya’ll stole my money and gave me no food.

    Stopped by last night ordered & paid for only a route 44 Dr pepper. Waited over 20 minutes after the screen said it was already on its way.. then once I get my drink it's a medium, and when I tell them it's supposed to be a route 44 the lady tells me it what it said on the screen like lady you would have forgotten about me cause y'all already cleared it through if I didn't keep harassing y'all about my drink. Don't stop here it sucks

    The drive thru person did not listen to me about the details of my order or just decided to do as they pleased. I didn't check, I found out once I arrived to work & I was very disappointed and frustrated about it. It's not the 1st time neither, so I decided to do this rating on how I felt about that location. 👎🏾
