Truly a horrid experience today, such a disappointment...
Likely will never visit here again...
*Possibly understaffed, but EVERYONE'S time should be valued most importantly HEALTH/Food safety in non-negotiable to me, especially because I seem to catch every single sickness that goes around...
NOTES:
*Walk in dining To Go order (no pre-order done)
*Walked into the lobby on 11/1/2025 ETA 3:30pm.
*Door and door handle were very dirty/ did not want to touch so I pulled down my sleeve and opened it that way...
*Lobby was messy, many visible trash items on the floor such as food crumbs, receipts, etc.
*When I entered-
1. 1 person was already standing at the front counter, peeking around the corner inpatiently, as if he was irritated and had been waiting for assistance for too long (just an observation as I do not know the specifics of his visit, but can only assume it was likely just as mine, inconsiderate and frankly unacceptable.)
2. 1 person was sitting at a table near the entrance door, who I later found out had already ordered and was waiting for a small order.
3. Four OLD drinks sat unattended on the front counter, with scannable receipts taped on them that were obviously for Door Dash pick ups or Uber driver pick ups. At least one was a large frappe, another a dark soda, and don't remember the other two. These drinks looked like they had been sitting there for hours, covered in sweat, a pool of condensation coming from each that gathered into a larger single puddle of liquid on the counter around them, whipped creams were melted, one looked half drinken, all appeared to be DD or UBER orders & also undrinkable, so I certainly hope they were meant to be thrown away instead.
4. Drive thru line was short, but stayed busy and stayed short- as I walked in AND also as I walked out- I looked over at the drive thru and both times the last cars that were in line were at the ordering screen already. THE DRIVE THRU ONLY flowed well the entire time, quick, fast, but many incorrect and had to come back into the lobby to wait and be ignored with us...
5. FRONT COUNTER- No employee was working the Front counter. Many employees seen assisting drive thru ONLY.
6. Someone finally came about 10 minutes, had no name tag- wore all black & a hijab & also had zero help the whole time.
#2 COMPLAINT - The employees simply did not care about the lobby. They ONLY cared about their drive thru times!!
So... I walked in, waited a long time. The employee w/black hijab finally walked by the front counter, still not a single look or acknowledgement that anyone was even in the lobby, as we all continued to wait. And wait. And think of leaving. And wait. She went to the bathroom, stopped to ask another employee in break in lobby, eating, IF he was on break, employee replied yes and continued eating, she came straight back from bathroom TO THE REGISTER (not the sink to wash her hands. Not once did she wash her hands the whole time I was there, even after wiping her NOSE, WITH her bare hands, then spoke to customer ahead of me who was missing a simple 4pc nugget from his drive thru order, she wiped her nose, went straight to nugget box, opened it, closed it, and walked straight back to hand to him... THIS IS MY #1 COMPLAINT. The employee on break in lobby also returned while she was in the bathroom (and touched the lobby trash door and tucked his shirt into his pants, and went straight to touch some food which he bagged for a drive thru order- AGAIN WITHOUT WASHING HIS HAND ONCE).
WASHING HANDS IS #1 RULE OF FOOD SERVICE IN MY BOOK. IF U DONT WASH YOUR HANDS, DONT SERVE CUSTOMERS.
Not enough space for my whole story/complaints so keeping it to the top three.
#1- hand washing wasnt seen at ALL. FC person should not be taking orders, handling register, cash, food, handing out food, all without washing hands in between. BIG NO NO in food service, especially after pandemic.
#2 see above.
#3- MY 1 item order entered wrong&left with wrong item, to help lessen waits 4 all.
DISAPPOINTED TO SAY THE VERY LEAST!
WILL NOT RETURN
