Absolutely horrible customer service from the cashier, so bad we decided to walk out from how he spoke to us, to how he was smacking on his gum, and finally how he kept saying “we don’t have that”….. Like what do you mean you don’t have basic vegetables for half your menu, seriously???

Needless to say, we walked out before ordering and will...
