    When a customer pays $2.50 for a bottle of water, they expect to receive a bottle of water. I did not. Honestly, the prices do not reflect the quality of the food and environment. The bland wall decor and "women who have blonde hair, blue eyes, wear a khaki sweater and black leggings, with ugg boots and an iphone" theam does not justify the price for the quantity and quality of the food. Quite literally proven with the lack of a bottle of water. The food also tastes like it was found in the abandoned KMart before it was converted to cub foods and planet fitness. Do better.
