I don't know what everyone else's experience with the Dairy Queen on West Road is, but they're batting about .100 with me. I promise, 75% of the time I have been there, they have screwed up my order. The common thread is me getting small blizzards instead of mediums. Though I have also gotten blizzards made with vanilla instead of chocolate ice cream like I ordered on more than one occasion. And it's not like these are huge orders. It's for one person. And they write it down. Seriously. Read on.
So, I decide to get a blizzard tonight because I'm by myself and I'm already out after driving to the gym to find that it had closed at 6pm. I wonder if I knew that subconciously... So anyway, the people in front of me get their blizzards and the lady says-- these were supposed to be mediums... as she is handed smalls. Hmmmm. I almost hope this is a mean spirited idea to make more money by giving people smalls instead of mediums, because the people who constantly grab the lowest of the three cups aren't going to make it in this world.
So now that I know what I'm up against, I go to the window and order a medium peanut butter oreo blizzard made with chocolate ice cream. She starts writing it down and is repeating it as I say it. She doesn't say with chocolate ice cream, so I repeat it. I watch her write the whole thing down. Then I ask her if I can have a lid on it. She comes back in 3 minutes with a blizzard made with vanilla ice cream, and no lid. And I wonder at which one of the three steps she took from the counter to the ice cream machine she forgot the whole order... now as I'm eating it, the oreo's are not Peanut butter, but instead there are reeses peanut butter cups scattered amidst my blizzard. When she handed it to me, I said nothing. I've dealt with this before. Just give me whatever flavor blizzard you decided to make. If you can't remember what you wrote down 3 seconds ago and instead of checking again you make it up, we're not going to get anywhere.
At least give me a lid.
