Terrible cashiers. Three cashiers chatting intensively for over 15 minutes, which is the duration of my visit. Customers were waiting in line, yet they didn't bother and kept chatting. To make it worse, they chatted with the driver delivering fuel. Hot Food cass was almost empty. My visit was 4:10 pm on October 21st, 2025.
