My Coke didn't have enough Coke in it. The bun was stale and the hamburger didn't even look like it was hamburger

I have been to many checkers before, but this location is the best one. It’s very professional and not “ghetto” and the customer service is like Chick-fil-A.. I had a wonderful experience today with two employees.One, who’s name is Eric and the other one, Terrence. I have been a Chick-fil-A trainer and I will say this to you, I will always come back to this checkers just because of those two employees. I live all the way in Westshore, but the checkers on Broadway is the best one and those employees need a raise. They were patient. They were kind they were understanding and they were quick I did all of that with the biggest smile. Thank you to those two employees
Update!! So like I said, best checkers. Met one of their employees at the bus stop. Her name was Tristan🥹 and she was so nice. I needed help and she had no complaints in helping me. Asked her where she worked and she told me lol I laughed because Their employees are even nice with civilians. Thank you Tristan, I found the bus.
