    Mediterranean sandwich was a joke. I substituted basil for mixed greens. This thing was virtually empty.

    The girl at the register was either not listening or not paying attention. I asked for a bowl and she asked if I wanted the bread bowl and I said no just the regular soup bowl. She still rang me up for a bread bowl apparently. I was on lunch break so I didn’t feel like wasting time to wait for them to fix my order but if you’re going to be at the register you need to pay attention.
