Came downtown, ordered and asked the woman working a question about the restroom she ignored our party. So, he asked again and she looked him and said I heard you. Then, why would you walk right by him without further acknowledgement. There’s no reason to be rude. If you don’t like your job, go elsewhere. She was rude to several customers not just us.

A horrible person was in the front desk and gave me a cold NO you must to make a purchase first when I asked for the restroom for my 10 months old babygirl, that’s not human and is worst when you see a woman denying the restroom to another
Of course we were about to order, but with that answer …
