Pay your workers a living wage. There is one staff member who is so insanely rude it makes me want to walk out. She hasnât been there the last two days, and Iâve been gone for 3 months, so maybe she left. Absurd, like she was doing a parody of a Brooklyn barista. I say good morning she says NOTHING. JUST...
