On the night of August 1st, 2025, I encountered some deeply disappointing service from a young Hispanic woman working the night shift. Her approach to customer interaction was rude, impatient, and needlessly confrontational. When I asked to speak with a manager or supervisor, she flat-out refused and ignored me. I then reached out to other young women on staff — many of whom I see daily — and waited patiently, yet still, no one acknowledged or addressed my request.
Let me be clear: I understand when a team is short-staffed or overwhelmed — I’m here nearly every day and I get it. But no customer should be treated like a burden for simply placing an order. I wasn’t being rude or demanding — I was trying to clarify a mistake (removing bacon and letting her know I’d be using tap pay to save her time). Instead of receiving basic respect, I was brushed off and met with negativity.
I even stood outside my car to calmly explain the situation. Rather than listen, she insulted me by suggesting I just wanted something for free, then walked off mid-conversation yelling, “I’m busy.” That moment wasn’t just frustrating — it was demeaning.
As a Black man, I’m constantly mindful of how I express myself, because even the slightest show of frustration can be misinterpreted. That awareness shouldn’t be necessary, but here we are. The way this situation was handled left me feeling disregarded, disrespected, and unheard — and that’s not something I’ll stay silent about.
I’ve been waiting over 20 minutes for a manager — and no one has shown up. That’s unacceptable. I’m reaching out to corporate, and yes, I will be speaking to the press. You can review your security footage for proof — I stand by everything I’ve said here.
This incident doesn’t reflect the standard I usually see from your team — many of your staff are great. But on this night, your brand was poorly represented, and I left feeling small for simply trying to spend my money. That’s not just bad service — that’s a failure in leadership.
Do better. You’ve earned your 3.9-star rating.

Recently I ordered the $2.99 Philly Carhop Classic with fries. Being that it was before 10am, I thought everything would be fresh. Well, the fries were hard and warm/not hot and the Philly was straight out nasty. The bread was dry and torn, the meat was hard, and it had raw onions on it.
Overall, I have had good food here and bad food here. Pretty much like your average fast food restaurant.
