    When I first ordered my food the girl who took my order was possibly in a bad mood her body language and vibe seemed as if I was a inconvience before taking my order. As I was sitting down eating the food was great I can’t complain there however I over heard what was possibly a manager behind the counter say “who did this” some one answered a name and he said if she does it again she’s fired. And then the employee said no I said IAN I think was the name and he said oh well well fire him then and then proceeded to say who is Ian and a young man who answered seemed to be working the hardest out of every one and was very polite when I walked in. I won’t come back to a location with management that talks like that or treats their employees that way like they are just numbers on the books and not human beings. I hope any employees there find a better job that treats them better than that. The possible manager was a guy maybe 40-50 years old wearing a hat and didn’t seem to be wearing a uniform. Who ever he is is disrespectful. The employee who took my order I now have an idea of why your mood was down or seemed that way your management probably doesn’t make it a very good work place.

    Walk in and was not greeted or recognized by staff. Went to the kiosk ordered food. No one said anything about where drinks were being held hostage while we waited for food. Manager discovered that the lemonade was not out for guest. Name was called by an employee who didn't even say anything to me when I was standing there. Then when I said we are waiting on a response manager walking from back say it was frozen in the back. I won't be back.
