You can custom order and it always gets it right, no messing with trying to communicate with the drive through. Always get something free with the deals so save $$. You can pick it up at the window or they bring it out to you in 2 minutes. Pretty cool.

But yes, the ice cream machines are frustrating, love a nice shake after 5 hours working with the tennis kids!
