Went here and ordered two different drinks. Got to the window and they tried handing us two of the same drink. Then we told them what the second drink was AGAIN and they brought me the incorrect drink AGAIN and I was just so annoyed having to wait twice already that I left with the incorrect drink that was awful. I’m never against people having fun on the clock but there were four workers standing there chatting and if they paid more attention to their jobs I might have gotten my drink right the first time.
