The quality of the food is just the same as always, this review is entirely regarding the service.
This was my first time going to this location, and it's entirely outdoor seating, so it's like old school walk up to the outdoor counter to order/pick up food. I ordered ahead of time so I could be in and out of there, and I chose the pick up at counter option. They have a designated Mobile pick-up window, so I was standing there, there were plenty of employees that you could see through the window that weren't particularly busy, they were INCREDIBLY well staffed, and yet everyone I saw would just look at me with that 'that's not my job' type of face.
There was this one girl that was opening an employees only door that faced the seating area. This door was around the corner from where the mobile pick-up window is, so when I noticed she was calling out names for mobile orders, I had to go ask to clarify if that's what she's doing. She says yes and ask for my name. I give it to her and she hands me my order.
I asked her if the mobile pick-up window doesn't open and she just said 'it does, but it's fine.' What? No, it's not fine. I'm not the type to write scathing reviews, but this is by far the worst encounter I've had at chick-fil-a, and the entire encounter just rubbed me the wrong way. What's the point of having a window specifically designated for mobile pick-ups if no ones going to open the window anyway?
If the restaurant was busy, and understaffed, I'd be much more understanding of the situation, but the fact that there were so many workers that looked at me, and just completely ignored the situation was just crazy to me. Even if the mobile order window isn't your job, it takes all of 30 seconds to open the window, clarify if the customer has a mobile order, and hand them their order or redirect them to where they need to go. After all of this, to add insult to injury, I get home and they didn't even give me my buffalo sauce.
I'm inclined to give this place another chance since it's the closest location to me, but word of caution to everyone else, if you go late, perhaps try the curbside pick up or the drive thru pick up instead of the window pick up.
