Thanks to Crystal, this was easily one of the most frustrating drive-thru experiences I’ve had—and the worst part is, they weren’t even busy.
I pulled up just trying to grab a donut for my kid, who specifically asked for something with rainbow colors. I asked a simple question about it, and when I was told the options were strawberry, chocolate, or vanilla, I followed up with a completely reasonable question: is that the filling, or is it a glaze on the outside? That’s it. A normal question from someone who doesn’t order donuts every day.
Crystal on the intercom responded like I had just inconvenienced her entire day. Her tone immediately turned short, irritated, and borderline rude, like answering a basic question was too much to ask. Instead of just explaining it like a normal person, she made it very clear she was annoyed that I even asked.
It was completely unnecessary—especially considering there was no line and no rush. There was zero reason for that kind of attitude.
Honestly, I was so put off that I almost drove away right then and there. The only reason I didn’t is because I didn’t want to deal with my kid having a meltdown over a donut. That’s the only reason they got my business at all.
If you’re working in customer service, answering simple questions with a little patience is the bare minimum. Not everyone is going to know your menu inside and out, and they shouldn’t be made to feel like a burden for asking.
If you’re trying to have a good morning, skip this place. And if you’re already having a bad one, definitely avoid it—because the attitude here will only make it worse.
Won’t be coming back.
