Terrible! 9:00 PM. Closing time is 10:00. Place was a wreck. 70 pct of dining room closed off, yet the other 30 pct was nearly full. Trash outside, food all over floor by end of cashier bar. No one at cashier's front desk. Several employees intermittently sitting in dining area taking up a table and chatting loudly with other employees behind the counter. After 20 secs, a young lady approaches, politely takes my order. Does NOT explain food delivery process...it has apparently changed since remodel. This will prove important a bit later. She asks me exactly 4 times "for here or to go?" Strange, but whatever.
I stand there waiting for a few mins while everyone who is working seems to be tending to the drive thru customers. All I ordered was a chik-fil-a combo. They usually have those out in 15-30 secs. I waited while several employees saw me and said nothing. Not until a male manager finally approached me and asked if was it "for here or to go?" Yes. That was the fifth time I was asked the same question. Bizarre. Started to feel as if they really wanted us all to go! Lol. Really.
When I told him it was for here, he said "when you're standing there I assume it is carry out because we bring the food to you." I looked at the young lady who took the order and told her she never told me the process. I had no idea. This is new (to me, anyway). I have been eating here for years! At first, she turned her back to me and began speaking with another employee sitting on the dining room. When I repeated myself, she turned around and looked at me sheepishly. The same Mgr. witnessed it, the young lady did not deny ----Neither one apologized.
To make matters worse, I sat, ate and watched for 30 mins as a wonderful young employee (non-mgr) named "Tragdon" served table after table in the most pleasant and efficient manner. He even brought them refills, condiments, etc.! I told him what happened to me, and he apologized on behalf of the store. Of course I told him it wasn't his fault! He then offered to assist me in the future and took my empty tray away. He was dedicated, a true one-of-a-kind. The rest, not so much.
