    The ladt working on nov 18 was in a very bad mood. Long story short she threatened me with violence if I wanted to step out of my car.

    Pulled up to the order board. There were no signs telling me that they were only doing drive thru. After pressing the button and waiting about 20 minutes an employee came out and told me and several other vehicles that they were only doing drive thru. Very poor service and management. I will not be back.
