Charging $20 for a burger, fries, and a drink? And they still can't afford to pay their staff a decent wage while asking for tips? That's just outrageous. It's no surprise they're shutting down left and right. It's completely crazy for a burger—it's not like it’s a luxury dish!

It was around 7pm. The gal rang up my order after waiting a minute or two to find out some other workers code so she could ring it up. I was in a hurry and wondered why I had to wait for this. But I said nothing. Then I paid. I kind of hate it how the cashier can see the tip amount beforw they work on your food order. I didn't think french fries beckoned a big tip. So she looked at it. And started working on the counter, doing something else. No one else was in the room. Me and her. No other customers. No other orders seemed to be going. Then she realized that I was standing at the high top table, facing her, watching her. So a few minutes after I ordered, she put the fries into the oil. I watched her do it. Then I watched her go and flip them a few times. I finally got my fries and left. But I did feel like there was a delay starting the fries and it was not a good feeling.
