              04/30/2024 $24.22 YES I always order from First Watch I order the Tri-Fecta with an extra slice of French Toast and morning meditation fresh juice. I pick my food up and immediately I notice my extra slice of french toast was not in my bag. i go back in the store for ****** to say we charge extra for door ****. i explain to him i did not door ****. he goes on to say well the instruction is kind of confusing, I explain to him it's printed on the receipt on the bag. we would have to charge you for extra slice. why you would charge for it i ask for it. i ask for my money back per *****, we cannot give you a refund. all i wanted was my food i have been at the hospital all **** night. i had to clock in at work at 6:30 . now i have to deal with some rude employees. THIS IS RIDICULOUS how you treat a paying customer that frequently visit this establishment. Neither one of them tried to come up a solution. i think this unacceptable that i have to write you guys in order to get a $20. refund. i will NEVER visit this establishment.

              This place sucks now. The new manner ( fat African-American guy) is super unprofessional and doesn’t try to fit the problem. Instead wants to argue with the customers and not do anything to fix their mistakes. Really wish Nicole was here because she’s a professional. All the new server suck just like this place does now. Sad to see this place fall apart. ******* *** *** ******** ** ********
