The tall black maybe early 30s manager that I dealt with was extremely aggressive and has no business treating customers that way! I never have issues at this location until dealing with this manager I will definitely not be back!

Chaos! The two line drive thru is not working for this place. Can’t get orders straight and a 20 minute wait just to get to the pay part.

Employee didn't put lid all the way on soda, spilling orange pop all over my white shirt. Good times.
