Every time i use the drive to window, I'm disgusted by what I see, and I question myself again as to whether I should just stop coming here.
Seeing how dirty it was today, I've finally decided it's not worth it, to risk getting sick by eating here because your employees don't know how to keep their work spaces sanitary.
It's one thing to see some clutter when it's really busy, but the vast majority of the time (early 9 out of 10 visits) there is rarely not than one or 2 other customers ahead of me. Often there's no other customers -but still in told. "Wait a moment" and when i finally get to order & pull around, there's music blasting, and a few kids seem to be just hanging out, wearing filthy aprons, hair hanging over the getting & back of their shoulders, while there's cluttered & dirty work spaces & floors all around them.
While you have had a few good employees, (who actually know how to make the cones with the DQ patented swirl on top, and who look clean, with their hair properly tied back & wearing a clean apron -I must report that MOST of your employees, however, wear their hair loose & disheveled; some of your employees look like they haven't bathed in a while, too. Aprons are always filthy, and I've seen employees wiping their hands of spilled ice cream or sauce on their dirty aprons, only to continue handling food! Worse, I'll see them scratch their faces, even near their nostrils & around their mouths, with their long fake nails, then go back to handling a customer's food! (I've walked out a few times, after seeing one employee do this over & over, while serving several customers ahead of me. I left, rather than allow her to serve me).
Once, while using the drive thru, a male employee tried to hand me a cone with the ice cream too soft -not firm enough to hold it's shape! As he started to hand it over to me (and me trying to say "wait! No! don't give me..."*splat*) most of the ice cream slopped off the cone, right into & over my car door -incl inside the window slot (went inside, smeared down both sides of the glass & soured inside the door frame for weeks). The mess went inside the door and some went down the outside of the door, too Rather than reimburse me, all he was willing to give me was a few extra napkins, and a cup & spoon (to dump what was left of the cone into -which then went straight into my car garbage pail), and a discount coupon for a free small sundae (but only with purchase of hot food). He said he couldn't refund me because he didn't know how to deduct it from the register. The only other employee in the store was about the same age, and looked as disheveled & dirty as the male.
But seeing how filthy the store still is, i finally decided it's time to let you know about it. And to let you know I won't be eating here again, unless/until you retrain your employees on proper food safety, with an the cleaning requirements & practices.
And I'll be telling my friends to also refrain from eating there, because I don't want them rushing illness either.
Finally, I'll be adding negative google review too, which I'll only update to positive, or remove if possible, only if I learn of any drastic improvements in the sanitation practices of this location. read more
