The large fries is way no large at all. So you will get a medium size instead

Maybe short-staffed? I don't know. Customers lined up at the kiosk with just one kiosk working. No one accepts order at the check stand. Went to drive thru instead, got my order and paid. One item not available that I paid for, was offered something else, attendant was fast the he didn't put the meals I ordered in the paper bag, just the fries and expected me to take off. Good I inspected it. Meal placed in another bag. Ordered iced coffee but placed in a soda cup. Come on!
