So so sad…. This place just keeps going down, down, down. There are never any to-go packs made up, very few in the case, & all surfaces look nasty. By expansion, same issue with the auntie Anne’s pretzels. Staff is typically rude, dismissive, and apparently pretty lazy based on how disgusting everything looks. Drink machines look sticky, need to be wiped down. Have not seen an employee actually making food in ages; they keep a couple misshapen/nonstandard rolls in the case but typically just the large classic size. Anytime I’ve asked about getting a minibon pack or even just a couple, have been told they don’t have any & are done making them up for the day: that’s the response whether it’s noon, 4, anytime of day. Apparently the management /owner feels that not having leftovers is more important than having product to serve. Noticed today the young lady making a pretzel for someone was using her ungloved hands to poke & flip it. & that’s just ONE pretzel: there were no bites, dogs or anything other than 1 more pretzel in the case that were available to buy (a sign stated that everything on the top shelf was for display only?!). When I asked about getting a small of the mini-dogs, was told I’d have to wait 15-20 minutes. 2 people actually left after waiting in the ridiculous line (no other staff offers to help, they’re just walking around &/or visiting) after being told that nothing they wanted would be available anytime soon.
That entire outlet mall was about a decade late & you can tell, as it’s about half empty already. I’d imagine this single freestanding Cinnabon in Central AR won’t be around much longer - can’t make money if you don’t provide product to sell - pretty logical to me 🤷🏻♀️ As mentioned above it’s really sad as I’m not the only person I’m sure that enjoy those perfect, sinful, sticky buns. Just sad.
PS - was charged an extra $1.75 for that tiny container of icing…. To actually cover the $6 cinnamon rolls that barely had any added to the lackadaisical execution & inferior roll.
*edit/add* & to add insult to injury: just discovered that neither has hardly ANY of the cinnamon-sweet-gooey that sets them apart from most…. Dry, flavorless $12 - NOT COOL, Cinnabon at Outlet Mall.
