"The staff are disorganised and generally bad."
"Seemed short staffed, only 1 serving & busy."
"Staff were rude, unhelpful, tried saying I didn’t order and pay for what I was saying."
"Approached counter to two staff, both kept heads down looking at a mobile phone and walked off after about a minute with no eye contact or greeting."
"Staff incredibly slow and seems like they don't even care if there 5+ people in the queue waiting to be served."

"Cold, sweat chips, greasy, flavourless wings and the sandwich want even close to being cooked!"
"The large bargain bucket that we purchased was bloody awful."
