    We placed our order. Young people in back preparing orders. They were laughing, carrying on throwing stuff at each other. Putting their hands to their mouths. Little young girl kept wiping her hands on her shirt. They forgot part of our order, bagel and cream cheese. My wife went up and asked the young people about the missing bagel & cream cheese. She went back up to the register to ask the woman who took our order but she was no where to be found. My wife went back to pickup counter but got no help. While she went back up again to register to find the woman who took our order. I then went up to pickup counter and looked in. I found the woman who took our order. She had her cellphone out showing something to 3 of the young. They were are just standing laughing. I hollered at them for our bagel & cream cheese. Young people went back to work and woman and got our bagel and cream cheese.

    Ordered takeout 4 times in the last 3 months. They messed up the order every single time. Live 25 away so not worth it to go there to get it fixed. I Dont understand how you give me half a sandwich instead of a full one. Or forget to put bacon on a sandwich when you take extra time to make it. Not going again, seems like it was intentional.
