Dairy Queen Drive-In

I wish I could give this place negative stars. This Dairy Queen is disguising! I worked here for about 6 months. The manager used to live in the basement (in the manger office), she literally used to sleep down there every night. There’s no structure or direction amongst the employees whatsoever, so nothing gets cleaned. I’ve seen employees drop chicken on the kitchen floor and pick it up and hand it out the window like nothing happened. One of the employees put a cherry in his mouth, took it back out, and put it on top of someone’s sundae. There’s also a mouse that lived there (ew) so long that they actually named it (his name was George). As if it wasn’t bad enough, the manager (who lived in the basement) would stay in bed half the day and not even come upstairs until 3 or 4 hours after opening, while leaving 1 employee (usually me) to handle lunch rush alone and would still clock her hours as open to close. None of the employees got paid what they’re worth (lower than minimum wage). I cannot stress enough how disgusting, unhealthy, and damaged this place is. I will NEVER return here and I will NEVER recommend it as a place to eat, or as a job

So bad it’s nearly laughable. I stopped in here on my way home from work to get a malt. Just a malt, that’s it. At an ice cream place. I’ve had really bad luck with their drive through being ridiculously slow, so I decided to go in… thinking maybe that was faster.
There was one other couple in there waiting for an order. I saw three employees, one sitting in the back on her cellphone. One manning the drive-​thru and one at the cash register.
I ordered my malt… and I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
15 minutes later another couple had come in and ordered and now we were all sitting and waiting.
20 minutes went by and I finally approached the counter and told them I had to get going and how much longer was this «fast food» malt going to be. The girl at the counter huffed a bit, as if to say «we are so busy» (um…no, dear… you’re not) and then threw together my malt… it came out ½ blended with big chunks of malt mix in it.
Yeah, avoid like the plague. If it’s summer and you want a decent ice cream treat, check out Dari Rippl! SOOOO much better and super fast (even though they have less people working)

Went here for lunch w my fiancé, ordered two baskets, fairly easy, one minus tomato, the other minus onions, we waited not even kidding twenty minutes at a FAST FOOD place in the drive thru for our food, got it, drove away and realized we were missing one of the sandwiches completely… and to no surprise at this point, the sandwich we got had tomatoes on it! Called and the lady apologized, went back to get the sandwich she realized she forgot to put in the bag «right as we drove off» and wouldn’t ya know. went back to get it and it was hard as a rock (clearly sitting under a heat lamp) and the greasiest sandwich I have ever seen, needless to say, this dairy queen is a total joke!

I wish I had gotten the «really friendly people» that work here when I took three hot, sweaty, thirsty kids in the drive thru after a long play session at the park yesterday. I waited to post until today, thinking I might be less upset, but I’m still feeling like we weren’t treated like we should have been. After shouting my order into the speaker several times (the girl couldn’t hear me, and I couldn’t hear her either) I pulled up to the window and waited over 5 minutes before anyone even spoke to me. Then a girl opened it and asked if I wanted a drink carrier. I didn’t. I saw four employees standing around, one customer inside, one car behind me. How do four slushes take that long to make? After another couple minutes a different girl opened the window and passed the drinks out. I had to inform her that no one had collected a payment. She said no one told her that, then took my money and told me to have a nice day, all with a stone cold stare on her face. No apology, no smile. Disappointing.

Really friendly people work here, and its across the street from a very nice park. That’s about all I have to say about it.
