Too few public reviews to compare with the usual level. Reviews in the last three months: 9, at least 30 needed.

Track record not connected

A business can connect its order system to show how many jobs it completed, next to its public reviews — and, if it sends more, how its customers rated them and whether it is improving. The system sends monthly totals only, no customer data; Tailwind computes the figures by one method for everyone.

I go every single morning to get breakfast and have the sweetest people helping me. Love the morning crew... Great customer service. EXCEPT for the drive thru window!! The window closes on it's own now.... The people can only handle your order with one hand... Great job....tie one hand behind their backs McDonalds, now the drinks spill and the bags rip because they have to use the other hand to hold open the window.... Not to mention it shuts when you're trying to talk to them... It's incredibly rude.... Afternoon workers are lazy and crappy attitudes.... A lot of eye rolling coming out of them.... But, mornings, Bravo!!!
