Slop shop. Only been twice, and learned today why it's always deserted. Guy who took my order was nice enough to me. But he got into an argument with a 70-something Karen. She was showing him something about her receipt. There was some confusion about fries or something. Sounded like an honest misunderstanding from what I could tell. Yes, she was obviously irritated, but still composing herself. So was he, but they kept low-key arguing. He eventually refunded her meal and told her to sit down and eat and then never come back. She said she certainly wouldn't, or something to that effect. She was starting to walk away, when bro said "you just don't know how to order." Sigh.. Bro, if you're reading this - you did NOT have to say that. That was stupid. That boomer turned around and got in his face, raised her voice, demanded he "show her his face" and "look her in the eyes". He refused. To his credit, he never raised his voice, but he clearly didn't know how to de-escalate and just let-it-go. You work at dairy queen, bro. It's cranky boomer central! Then he started going off about how he's "legal" and his parents were immigrants and yada yada. Maybe she said something racist? I couldn't hear it all. Then she was all "well I'll tell the police so and so!" And he was like, "That's fine! I'll tell them such and such!"... All the while I'm just sitting there, face in palm, waiting for my food. Speaking of which, it was gross. I got the burger thing with jalepenos on it. It came out piping hot, but not in the right way. The wrapper was hot to the touch. The bun was hot, the lettuce was wilted, steam billowed out of it as I tried to cool it down to make it edible - pretty sure it had been microwaved to oblivion. Probably made earlier and nuked to radioactive levels when I ordered it. The meat was gray and nasty. I didn't finish it. I only went because I had a gift card that I won in a white elephant. I still have $5 on the card. I will not be using it.
