Worst service ever. I ordered from the app for pickup. The inside was closed. I went thru the drive thru after five car wait I was told this location doesn’t serve hot tea. I left and was still charged

You should just give customers the best deal. The fact that I have to sign up for 47755 programs just to pay a fair price is ableist. I have severe ADHD.
