Did Somebody Say My Burger Has Cheese On It?
I hate when a restaurant worker screws up my order, especially when it involves something that’s difficult or impossible to fix. It actually happened to me just this week. but as much as I’d sometimes like to flip out and give a person or 3 the what for, I know there are better ways of …
