    I ordered a save and pair and found hair in my food while I was chewing. I immediately called to let them know and they said they would give me a refund a week had passed and I still hadn’t gotten it so I called again. They told me I was able to come in a get the refund. I came in and was told by the manager who was also very rude and disrespectful that she wouldn’t give me a full refund because I also had a smoothie but I threw it away out of fear since I found hair in my food why would I trust the smoothie. So I explained that to her so she then said okay I will give you a full refund but next time I won’t. Excuse me next time i shouldn’t even be in this situation bc they shouldn’t have hair in the food. When I told her that she started speaking in her language laughing while on the phone and having her headphones in. They also still didn’t even give me a full refund of what I paid it was a $1 off also non of the employees had hairnets or gloves on. I’m overly disappointed and dissatisfied with the way the manager handled this. Mind you when we were on the phone whoever I spoke too was very nice and apologetic and offered a FULL refund. Once she saw me and saw what I looked like her energy changed.

    Had a hair in my smoothie plus my wrap was mostly just bread. Ruined my morning.

    Only gave 4 stars for the food as they were out of some product that I was hoping for.

    One of the worst retail experiences I've had in a long time. The teenager working stood in the back talking to her friend while I waited for 5 minutes for her to appear when she finally did appear I just simply wanted to know if they sold bottles of water was turned into an epic ordeal that should have just been a smooth transaction. Can we get a grown up in this place?
