Restaurants are stretched so thin. I don't think corporate employees understand how much store employees are having to work

Pros

The staff and customers are all generally nice to work with and serve.

Cons

They're frequently out of food and drink items and it's frustrating to keep up with the list. Management has become more corporate oriented and it used to be pretty chill.
