Due to McDonaldās drive thru being too busy for comfort this morningā¦. By the time I got to Starbucksā¦. My chocolate croissant was cold. One of the employees knows my face but she couldnāt help cause she was busy assisting other customers so she asked one of her coworkers who was closer to the mobile ordering counter to helpā¦ā¦ yeahā¦. The girl who was organizing the items clearly didnāt want to help. Had the audacity to size me up first and I did so back behind my glasses.
