    I’ve been here for 30 minutes since I ordered a burger and Dr Pepper! It’s not even that busy, I used to work at this same location myself and know this is unacceptable!

    The saddest Coney dog I have ever gotten in 40 years. Add cheeseburger with brown lettuce. Apart from it being late.

    I've been a carhop. Mints were always in my pocket. These carhops miss out on a really good tip when they actually have mints on them. My toddler loves them as well. Yesterday, when I asked if she had any mints the carhop said "No I don't but there's ONE in the bag" didn't even offer to get me some. I threw her tip back in my door handle.
