That girl that worked there going to tell me I need exact money to purchase something or a debit card. The other woman that was waiting on me saw me with the $20 bill say something to her in Spanish, which she didn’t supposed to do that both of them are going to get fired and I’m gonna make sure of that.

The staff is great and my order is almost always ready when I get there unless they’re slammed.
