Y'know, normally I'm not one to review fast food places, buuuut...
I left for work a little early so I had some extra time to spare, so I thought coffee was a good idea! The drive thru was crowded so I decided to try ordering inside, since there was a lot of parking available. Just like I thought, there were hardly any people inside, and only one person waiting for their food by the register. Sweet. Just... Where was the cashier? I see two ladies by the fries, sloooowly packing them... One looks back at me and just goes back to what she was doing. Uh, alright. Guess I'll... Wait?
A few minutes later (still no one at the register) the person I mentioned earlier that was waiting seemed SUPER frustrated. I hear her say "TEN minutes for an apple pie. Unbelievable!" Uh oh. Maybe getting coffee wasn't such a good idea, then. Another minute of waiting with STILL no one acknowledging me I said screw it, I don't wanna be late, and left. Barely made it to work. I wonder if that lady ever got her apple pie...
A few days later, I left home early again. Okay, I had more time to spare than last time... Let's give this another try. Drive thru wasn't as busy as last time, and neither was parking. Sweet. I opted to go inside again. Oh, hey, there's someone actually at the register this time.
Now, I love their iced coffee. LOVE it. Only problem is, god, it is SO sweet. So, I always ask for less syrup/sugar. And of course, that's what I get. It isn't a hard order, you just don't put in as many pumps as you normally do...? So I step up to the register and say... "Can I get a large regular iced coffee with less syrup?" He gave me a confused look and said "syrup?". I guess what they refer to it as differs location by location, like when I ask for less mayonnaise some locations say "less mayo" and some say "easy mayo"...
Anyway, I just say "Oh, y'know, like... less sugar!" and he says "... Sugar...?". At this point I'm just as confused. How do you not know what I mean at this point...? So now I'm trying to explain. "Iced coffee? You know how you guys put sugar in it? How many pumps do you usually put?" "Oh, six." "Okay, so can I have that regular iced coffee with like... Three pumps instead?" "Sugar?" "... Yeah, of the sugar." "In the coffee." "...... Yes. Regular iced coffee. With less sugar." This is the longest time it's ever taken for me to order ONE thing. He STILL looks confused but punches my order in, and I pay and wait, checking my phone. Well, looks like I'm barely gonna make it to work again. Thankfully, it isn't that long of a wait, but...
It's just coffee with no cream. I stare at it for a second. I wanna say something, but I don't want to go through that "sugar" problem ALL over again. Whatever, I just take it and go because I hate being late. I get in my car, start the engine, think, well hey, at least it won't be as sweet, and take a sip.
Jesus. Christ. It was DISGUSTINGLY sweet. Like, five times as sweet as they normally make it. Dude, do you have a grudge against me or something? I just wanted less sugar! I literally couldn't handle drinking even a tenth of it. The sweetness actually made me feel sick, it was just THAT sweet. What a waste of money, and, for the second time, my time.
The only reason why it's two stars instead of one is that I've never had a problem here when I get something on the way home from work... I think.
God, it's been a few days and I can STILL taste it. Actually the WORST coffee I've ever had in my life. Coffee PTSD. My coworker had a laughing fit when I told her what happened. read more
