“Every time I go here my experience is always pleasant. The coffee is always fresh and although the place is usually busy with customers I never have to wait long. The cashier’s are always very polite and friendly. Tonight I had the pleasure of dealing with Jeanette. She stood out to me because usually at night, most employees places are usually tired and stressed and can be very rude but even when another customer, some guy was just giving her a bit of a hard time she handled the situation with care! She was patient, kind, and still treated him with respect and that goes a long way! She also had such a great personality. She greeted everyone with a smile, including me. I only know her name because I asked due to how nice she was. It’s not often that you get someone that has patience in the world we live in today. Thank you for reminding me that good people besides myself and a few others still exist.”
