I already filed a formal complaint about my experience here, and I still haven't received my refund. More than anything, I'm just confused -- because I've never experienced a place with no customer service at all. It can't even be called "bad service," because it simply didn't exist.
I've had minor issues here before, but nothing close to this. To avoid rude treatment I'd seen inside before, I ordered online and went through the drive-thru for what should've been a quick pickup. I waited several minutes for someone to speak through the speaker, but nothing. Since it was just a pickup, I pulled ahead -- then got stuck behind cars for nearly an hour with no way to leave.
By the time I finally reached the window, an employee took my name, then shut the window and disappeared. At that point, my entire break was gone. I eventually parked, went inside, and politely asked to cancel my order and get a refund since my break was over and I still hadn't eaten all day. They hadn't even started my order.
So, at that point:
1. My break was over,
2. I couldn't get a refund, and
3. I never received any food.
When I asked again, the woman helping me smirked like she found it funny, said "we don't deal with that," and told me to call customer service. When I asked for the number, she said she didn't know because "that's not my department." The manager just stood there and did nothing.
Later I found a review from February describing almost the same situation -- someone else also lost their break waiting in the drive-thru. That tells me this isn't new or surprising to them. The staff acted like this was totally acceptable. I honestly left in disbelief.
What's worse is that there's no way to get a refund in-store; you have to file a complaint and wait for corporate to respond. It really shows how little this location values customers. Maybe it's a franchise owner issue or maybe corporate is just hands-off, but either way, it's unreal that a business can operate like this with zero accountability or care.
