    By far the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Person at the drive through didn’t know my total, manager (female) refused to let me pay with gift card and screamed bye as I drove off. Extremely unprofessional and disgusting. As someone who places multiple catering orders here a month we will take our business elsewhere!

    My dissatisfaction stems from receiving a melted cheese sandwich instead of cheese toast. The bread was neither buttered nor toasted. ;0(
