Yesterday I walked into this establishment and found a bewildering sight. Roughly 10 people were standing around, arms crossed, looking annoyed. I ordered a sandwich anyway. What happened in the following half hour was truly amazing.
It was clear that the staff were overwhelmed, and it became obvious to me that they were handling a massive $200 order and several deliveries simultaneously. The phone also was constantly ringing with to-go orders.

What I found truly shameful was the behavior of some people waiting for their sandwiches. The staff were subject to verbal and mental abuse from some customers that obviously was not helpful. One customer made a rude gesture at one of the female employees, which made the employee justifiably upset.

The directions to my office aren't even close. I told them to just forget it at this point as my lunch has been long over and the sandwich I got in error was soggy so couldnt even eat that. Not sure why they never called....
