I went through the drive-thru and asked if their beef has gluten in it (I have celiac disease). The employee said she didn’t know. I asked if she could please check, and she came back saying she still didn’t know.
When I went to pay, the card machine said “incomplete,” and I asked if it said declined or incomplete. Instead of checking, she insisted, “It’s your card—it’s declined.” I told her that didn’t make sense because my funds were there, and asked if I could come inside to pay. She replied that she’d been using the machine all day, so it must be my card.
I parked, went inside, tapped my card once, and it worked instantly. I showed her that it went through, and she still argued that it was my card’s fault. She was rude, dismissive, and made a scene in front of other customers, acting like I was the problem when clearly the issue was with their machine.
It was embarrassing and unprofessional. Employees should be better trained to handle customers respectfully and know how to check ingredient or payment issues instead of arguing and giving attitude.
