Unfortunately they try to give you as less as possible for 13$ or 15$.
It’s clearly you are competing chipotle, you either give more than what they do or do not make it worst.

The people working today were very rude and seemed miserable. When ordering, I had pointed over the glass to what I want so it was easier for the first lady to understand me, however I got lectured by her to not reach over the glass because I’d drop something in the food. I thought how she approached it was very rude, and I did not go beyond the glass to even risk anything falling into their food. The last lady ringing me out wasn’t even approachable, she was rude and didn’t even smile. Maybe reconsider who you put as your first line of customer service, because these ladies did not do a good job of representing your company.

JoJo and his night crew were amazing. I showed up while they were closing, but instead of being annoyed, they still served me and were happy to help. Everyone that was working was incredibly helpful and great at customer service.
