- ESeric smithOct 14, 20251.0Awful , sloppy place where no one knows how to do anything . You will wait in a long line , then be sent to “ the blue door “ to wait in another line, then they will send you home because they don’t know how to help you . They are undertrained and understaffed .
- JMJennifer MartinezOct 6, 20251.0Bad service. No one wants to help or clarify anything. If they can make you use the kiosk they will just send you over and not help you. They ignore you if you ask for help.
