And each time I thought it was over it’d start back. Was close to going to the doctor but was able manage at safely home. I called to inform them (I should have immediately but didn’t regrettably)and they never called back though the manager was kind that answered say gm would get in touch. The lady that served us through the window was very personable, doing them a good customer service job. There was a wasp land on the review mirror when paying causing us to spend a few extra mins while they tried to exchange money laughing and shutting the windows scared. ”
