“Friendly Fred's lives up to its name, and as Stefon might say, this place has everything. Delicious sandwiches, high-quality wares from local artisans (at surprisingly low prices); beer & wine; a little cafe area; and - hold onto your hat - a mini thrift shop area. It's the Berkshires all in one roadside stop.”

We went to ATM n for had n the kitty beanie baby n a bouquet of flowers. The lady went above and beyond, very professional ? and treated me with empathy & lots of kindness. Thank you as a stranger you helped me a bit I'm NOT dealing with this loss n I'm NOT taking about it but i felt safe with you. Thank you. You made me smile! This was Sunday May 26, 2024. Definitely if u have an employee of the month..... She DESERVES IT TENFOLD! If you DONT have employees of the month then hands down it would be a great incentive to get all employees to be kind n leave their troubles at the door. That's how I was successful in my jobs in the past. I VOTE EMPLOYEE OF THE MOMTH! TY”

“The Staff at the Dalton Cumby's is always some of my favorite people. They know the regular customers, I grew up with Debbie's (one of the managers) daughter; every time I go there I feel like I'm seeing a familiar face. The only thing that I would change is the way the parking lot flows! People park like absolute douche canoes. It's like they don't care if a single other car can get in or out, as long as they get their space just where they want it, or if they can't get the space that they want, they cram this giant land yacht into wherever they can... Screw anyone else that may have to back up & get to work on time; heaven forbid they have an emergency!”

"These monitors track key performance metrics in real-time, such as greet times, order processing times and the time it takes for food handoff," Love's explains.
