  This morning June 10th I went to the Dutch bros location in ****** ** on 80th and ********. I ordered a 9-1-1 blended. When I received it it was iced, I wasnt upset, offered to take the iced drink anyways. The cashier was rude and walked away with the drink, I heard her telling the employee that took my order that it was wrong and she was upset blaming me for the wrong order. When I received my drink it was a **mpletely different **lor than any 9-1-1 Ive ever received and has my stomach super upset.

  I was in the left hand lane of a two lane drive though that merges into one lane. The lines were not moving very fast because the coffee orders were not being served very fast. The order person was having a great conversation with the person in the car in the right lane. They were looking on each others iPhones, and the girl in the car, even tied the apron strings on the back of the apron for the girl. That car went forward to the window. The girl came over to the one car in front of me and took their order, I had been waiting already about 10 minutes. The right hand car pulled up after I had been there. Then instead of coming to me because I had been there first, she started to go to the car in the right ********* who had not been waiting very long. I called the girl over to take my order because I was next and had been there but the girl said oh no we have to go back-and-forth in the lines to take orders. I was upset and called the manager over. The manager was sitting outside in the 82 sunshine in ******, having a business meeting with girl. This was a very bad look for the company. The meeting shouldve taken place inside. There shouldve been two people taking the orders.I have been to another Dutch boys at 22nd and Swan in ****** and have had good service. This location seems to be out of control with service. The manager and the order taker both looked at me like I was crazy.crazy. I can see why when I told them I was going to make a complaint that they werent worried because its impossible to get through to the company to make a complaint.Down the street is a local drive-through coffee shop that Im sure the employees would care more about serving people.They did give me my drink and dog cup for free.

  I had over $12 on my account with over 500 pts for 2 free medium drinks. When I went to open my app I only had 29 pts and .45cents in my account showing. When I looked at my account info it showed my old account with my sbcglobal email address being used. I went to log out and tried to log back in it only asked for my phone number and logged me in to the same old email account with the 29pts and .45 cents. I contacted dutch received a response back saying they had my money and points showing but wouldn't tell me how to log back into my gmail account in order to access my points and money. I've emailed several times and have yet to hear back from them. I feel like they are committing some form of fraud and stealing my money, since they are unwilling to contact me back in order to fix the situation.

  I checked my credit card information today and saw four fraudulent Dutch Bros. charges, which I notified my credit card company immediately. I last visited Dutch Bros. on Oct. 16, 2023 in downtown ***********, OR and purchased two drinks (daughter and self) and I paid with cash, but had my loyalty app scanned for point accumulation. Auto reload is and has been set to OFF. Oct. 24, 25, 26, and 27, 2023 I was charged $15 - $25 each day! I believed my card had somehow been compromised, however, when I looked at my Dutch Bros. app, it showed all the recharges, redeemed store value, and point accrual/redemption information. That is when I realized my account had been taken over by someone other than me. I have never let anyone use my Dutch Bros. app...it appears to be an internal job.This saddens me greatly. Dutch Bros. has done so much to enrich its local community where it started, so I have supported them happily. That trust has now been broken.

  I ordered 1 small kids frost and 1 small blended rebel with soft top. Ive always known dutch bros to have better pricing than ********** I was distracted with my passanger i didnt flinch when she told me my total was 11$ even and to tap my card. She didnt even show me the screen for the tip which they usually do. It was dead too, before i came there was nobody in line. And the two girls were just chatting with each other at the window. 11$ for my order?? I swear i mustve been duped by this girl because i think she added a tip for herself without me knowing which is totally unacceptable.
