I wish I hadn't.

Lured by the "$5 meal deal". (Quite similar to Wendy's "Biggie Bag".) I figured it was worth a few bucks.

My latest "customer experience" was about as bad as it could be.

I went inside. Made my order. Then politely waited quietly.

Two women had toddlers. One ALSO had a baby.

The toddlers had no pants, no socks, and no shoes. They were running around on all the chairs. As well as the tables. Jumping back and forth.

Whatever happened to "No shirt, no shoes, no service"?

And the mothers? Said nothing. Did nothing. Just chatted.

One toddler clearly had a uh... "full diaper". She was one stumble from it squeezing out.

Definitely a health-code violation.

No one working there asked them stop. To control their children. Or cleaned the tables.

Oh, and they screamed and cried for about 10 minutes. While the mothers made no attempt to stop them.

I was there for around 20 minutes. The ear piercing screeches of little girls. Not what I want just before I eat.

You know what they could have done? Gone through the drive-thru.

My order number was 995. Two mexicans with an order number of 1025 got their food before me.

That means literally 30 people got their food before me. Almost all of which had ordered more food than me. (It was a large bag of food.)

I ordered ONE combo meal.

I literally watched people come in, order, and then get their food. While I sat and waited.

My number was finally called. I picked up the food. Checked the bag. I didn't get my dipping sauce. So, I asked for someone to provide it.

A young woman with a nose-ring complied. With a scowl. Said absolutely nothing.

Didn't apologize. Didn't say "have a nice day". Just angrily handed me dipping sauce.

I began to walk out. Over the toddlers screams I could hear the manager. "GREAT JOB EVERYONE! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!" Clapping.

As I went outside the drive-thru was packed. A line all the way around the building.

I got in my car, and headed home. I opened the bag to grab a few fries. Cold and soggy. They were undercooked and barely had any salt. So, I tried the burger. Also cold. Then the McNuggets, also cold.

I must insist, they weren't "just not hot, and kinda warm". It was cold. They let my food sit in a bag. While they prioritized the drive-thru and other customers.

I don't want to be a Karen, but I feel like the supervisor needs to be informed.
