The employee kept giving me small Portions, even when I ask for double meat. And then ask for a my burrito to get double wrap. And she didn’t know how to do it. Some of the stuff fell out of the burrito. They didn’t even put it back. They Threw it away. At this point, I feel like I want my money back, but I just want it nice about the situation.
