“Go to this location every morning before work around 5am. The guy on third is always pleasant and always attentive and professional and friendly. The woman though that works at the counter always seems so angry and negative almost as if her job is a chore, she should probably be in an environment where she doesn’t have to work people if she’s always going to be negative. Kitchen girl on third is amazing she always has what I’m looking for in the pizza warmer. Keep up the good work guys!”
